The opioid epidemic has claimed thousands of lives in recent years, and Alabama continues to be at the top of the list for most opioid prescriptions written per person. While treatment options are often expensive and difficult to get, MainStreet Family Urgent Care is taking action by initiating a medication-assisted treatment program in one of our urgent care clinics. Our goal is to help patients get the addiction treatment they need, close to home.
Cherokee County Suboxone Clinic, located in Centre, AL is now accepting patients who are looking to end their addiction to painkillers or heroin but may need long-term assistance. Our program utilizes a medication called Suboxone to reduce drug cravings. Coupled with counseling services or behavioral therapy, Suboxone can be effective for individuals who are physically dependent on opiates such as Oxycontin, Percocet, Demerol, Morphine, and Fentanyl. With help from Cherokee County Suboxone Clinic, opioid addiction recovery is possible!
Suboxone is a prescription that contains the active ingredients buprenorphine and naloxone. It is an FDA approved medication that is used to fight opioid or painkiller addiction. It works by suppressing withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings while blocking the effects of other opioids in your system for at least 24 hours. It is a preferred alternative to methadone as it does not cause the euphoria that is associated with opioid drugs which prevents abuse potential.
At Cherokee County Suboxone Clinic, you will receive expert care from our licensed providers who are available to you throughout the program. We will help you to reduce drug cravings which will allow you to return to a normal life. Your comprehensive treatment will take place in a doctor’s office setting where you will receive outpatient drug rehabilitation treatment. Opioid dependence is a long-term medical condition, which means that some patients may require treatment for extended periods of time to prevent relapse and to stay on track with their recovery. While this can seem overwhelming, we can help keep you motivated, encouraged and excited about getting your life back.
