When patients are addicted to opioids, they find themselves taking narcotics just to feel normal, not necessarily to get high. Their brain habituates to the opiate, and they start to feel sick without the opiate. Something that started off as an outside drug becomes an inside demand, because the receptors in the brain changed quickly.
We offer Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) with Buprenorphine / Naloxone (Suboxone) to help patients stop their opioid use, as a part of their journey back to health.
