Opioid Addiction and Medication Assisted Treatment

When you or someone you love becomes dependent on opioids, they can feel sick when there are no opioids in their body. This sickness is known as withdrawal. Along with intense cravings, withdrawal is a natural part of opioid addiction, and the two combined can make recovery especially difficult. These two symptoms can make it extremely difficult for the individual suffering from them to focus on anything other than the addiction that demands opioids.

This is where medication assisted treatment comes in. Blue Sky Counseling offers effective treatment options for opioid dependence by combining Suboxone medication management along with individual and group therapy. Suboxone is an FDA approved treatment medication for addiction to opioids.

By helping to reduce cravings and withdrawal, medication-assisted treatment can help a person stop thinking constantly about the problem drug. This allows the person to focus on and work towards maintaining a solid foundation for a recovery orientated lifestyle. In addition to tailoring medications to address cravings and withdrawal, our comprehensive treatment approach will also include therapy or counseling to address behavioral issues, support recovery and prevent relapse.

By combining Suboxone medication management along with cutting edge streamlined treatment options and modalities we provide our clients with the most comprehensive quality care possible. Our experienced team of clinicians are all trained specifically to help our clients achieve success in their individual recovery.
