*****We require an honest report of all drug and alcohol use so we can create a treatment specific to you. We will then convert from the drug/drugs the client has been taking to Suboxone. The first day of the detox is performed completely in the office. A small dosage is then given every 2-4 hours or so to verify that the converted dose is correct. Our assessment team will determine which detox program is necessary, from 15 days to thirteen weeks or more.
At the Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia, Inc. in Savannah, our goal is to eventually diminish the amount of Suboxone until the absence of withdrawal symptoms is achieved without discomfort. The client may be given a one week supply of medication to self administer. Medication will not be replaced if lost, stolen, or misplaced. Phone contact must be made every week with in-office contact needed at various times. The lessening rate of office contact is client-specific.
Our goal is to eventually diminish the amount of Suboxone until the absence of withdrawal symptoms is achieved without discomfort.
Once the Suboxone dose has gone down to 0.5 of 1 tab a day comfortably, it is stopped. The client then goes without Suboxone for 4-5 days. Then, he or she will be introduced to Naltrexone, a medication which is used to help eliminate cravings. On the first day, a tiny sliver of Naltrexone is given. If no withdrawal symptoms occur, the dose is increased each day. Once a full tablet is taken, the Naltrexone dosage is continued until physical cravings have ceased.
*NOW! VIVITROL has been FDA approved for the prevention of opioid dependence, following opioid detoxification.* Vivtrol is an injectable form of naltrexone and is administered as a once-monthly intramuscular injection. VIVITROl is nonaddictive, nonscheduled, opioid antagonist that blocks the subjective effects of opioid's. With the use of Vivitrol the chance of not taking naltrexone is eliminated therefore the chance of NOT relapsing is better.
