We can help. Like other long-term conditions such as diabetes or asthma, addiction
can be controlled with a combination of medication and lifestyle change. Today’s
anti-craving medications are non-mood-altering, non-addicting, and may only
be needed for a few months.
When you arrive at Assisted Recovery, a physician will quickly conduct blood
and liver tests and a psychiatric evaluation. The next step is to begin medications
such as
Suboxone® (buphrenorphine) that relieve
withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, body aches, cramps, nausea, restlessness,
and irritability.
During this first week, you will spend a half-day at the clinic, returning home
in the evening with a friend or family member. Now, you’re ready for the
next phase: about six months of
anti-craving medications and
relapse-prevention counseling.
