subject: Drug Treatment Centers That May Really Help [print this page] You might not realize this but before buprenorphine therapy with suboxone or subutex was offered, it was almost impossible to treat opiate dependency outside of a hospital based detox. This all changed in 2002 when buprenorphine became legally accessible as subutex and suboxone formulations. Take into account that buprenorphine is accessible as both forms - suboxone and subutex.
But opiate abuse therapy with buprenorphine does not always go without problems. Actually there are keys to success - or disaster - with suboxone - subutex treatment.
Sadly, their are many frequent buprenorphine suboxone mistakes made by sufferers and treating medical professionals.
The most prevalent one is relevant to the person's way of thinking regarding the suboxone therapy itself. People who are most productive with this process are those who realize that the medicine is NOT the most important part of the course of treatment. This statement might appear odd, so it requires a further explaination.
The majority of people who search for therapy have been addicted to their opiate (hydrocodone, oxycontin, heroin, percocet, etc.) for a long period. This could be numerous months or years. A lot of them have never heard about buprenorphine. That means that they've been in an intense opiate obsession pattern of behaving for a long time. This pattern has practically taken over their life - they spend a lot of their time thinking about having the next dosage so they do not undergo withdrawal. Any other life commitments are placed secondary. They'll let practically nothing get in their way of ensuring they get their opiate.
Once these people find out what buprenorphine addiction is, there is no more necessity to reach out for something to feel good. Their is no more need to be psychologically "thought focused" on receiving the next "hit". This is great and the aim of the medicine. And the fact that the buprenorphine treatment methods are very easy when done correctly further lulls individuals into a fake feeling that the subutex or suboxone itself doing everything.
However, this is also where there can be problems. As you have been dealing with this addicted pattern for such a long time, your brain is not going to simply "forget" it once you are on a stable dose of buprenorphine.
Before you choose drug abuse counseling and treatment and make sure that whoever is suggesting the buprenorphine is a DEA certified suboxone-buprenorphine medical doctor and able to deliver good quality psychotherapy or at least puts a high degree of importance on it and offers you a suitable referral.
