As a counselor, you know that psychosocial counseling has always been the cornerstone of successful opioid-dependence treatment. However, among the medical community there is now a greater appreciation of how combining counseling with pharmacotherapy in a comprehensive treatment plan can enhance the opportunity for treatment success.
The growing incidence of opioid dependence is alarming and has raised a great deal of interest in the medical community. Research aimed at discovering the cause of dependence has labeled opioid dependence as a chronic relapsing brain disease. To this point, there has been a recent shift in thinking about the role of medication assisted therapy.
SUBOXONE addresses the biological component of the condition by suppressing withdrawal symptoms and decreasing drug cravings to improve treatment retention and reduce illicit opioid use. Once physical distractions are under control, patients may be better able to participate in counseling and focus on learning the skills they need to help them rebuild their lives and avoid relapse.
