Suboxone
Suboxone and Subutex are exciting new drugs designed to aid in
the outpatient detoxification from opioids. We are pleased to be
able to offer this service. Suboxone, which contains both a pain
killer and a medicine which counteracts the pain killer if it is
injected, can stop craving but cannot be abused. It provides a powerful
tool for outpatient detoxification.
Some patients who have addiction issues also suffer from chronic
pain. We can often treat patients with who combine the problems
of chronic pain and a tendency toward abuse of medications with
Suboxone.
PCPMC primarily treats chronic pain. We can only, under federal
law, have 30 patients at any one time who are being detoxified from
opioids by Suboxone. Where the services of an addictionologist or
for inpatient detoxification are required, we will gladly make the
appropriate referrals to excellent specialists and facilities.
