Buprenorphine Opiate Detoxification
Support Systems Homes, Inc. is at the forefront of treatment providers with its cutting edge opiate detoxification programs utilizing buprenorphine (subutextex®, suboxone®) to manage opiate withdrawal symptoms. Subutex® is a synthetic opiate agonist medication that has recently been approved by the FDA for treatment of opiate addiction in a sublingual tablet form. Previously available in parenteral (injectable) form only, subutex® enables us to offer a detoxification protocol for opiates in a non-hospital setting which minimizes the discomfort normally associated with detoxing from these highly addictive substances.
Detoxification from opiates, including heroin, methadone, oxycontin (oxycodone), vicodin (hydrocodone), and others can be an excruciating experience without the proper process. Often referred to as the .miracle cure. for opiate addiction by our clients, the ability of Subutex® to ease the often debilitating symptoms of opiate withdrawal has enabled us to drastically increase our client retention and long term success rate with this treatment population. When coupled with our other treatment programs and sober living, Support Systems Homes. success rate for long term recovery from opiate addiction is unmatched elsewhere in the treatment industry.
