Together this treatment means a healthier and stronger you to fight addiction. The duration of therapy is unclear. Depending on the individual, treatment can last greater than one year to indefinite.
Is It Effective
Yes, research has shown that 75% of patients will recover in 1 year. o be Individuals can recover from substance abuse and achieve full recovery.
When Can I Start Treatment
Before starting treatment, other opioids (prescriptions, illicit substances) must clear your system before starting suboxone. This is to help prevent worsening withdrawal symptoms. The process of beginning treatment can take as few as 14 hrs. up to a few days. Your provider will determine the severity of your withdrawal symptoms and assess if outpatient treatment is the right path for you.
