Often, getting regular access to treatment stops those dealing with opioid and alcohol use disorder from going through detox on their way to recovery. Particularly now, in a world with COVID restrictions and pandemic uncertainty, making regular visits to a suboxone clinic for detox treatment may be impossible.
There's an alternative with telehealth medicine for those ready to build lives without opiate usage. Telehealth opioid treatment puts you in contact with an experienced board-certified doctor. Patients can go through detox in the comfort of their homes, at their convenience. Here are the ways telehealth opioid treatment differs from traditional clinics.
Even when not life-threatening, opioid withdrawal is highly uncomfortable. Symptoms and their severity depend on many factors, including the type of drug use, the duration of addiction, the amount of drugs used, and more. Because of the amount of disinformation in the world, many people with opioid use disorder and their families have apprehension regarding detox and recovery.
Opioid treatment includes using suboxone and buprenorphine to alleviate the symptoms and cravings associated with withdrawal and the early stages of recovery. Medically assisted treatment gives patients support and care when they stop using opioids to provide them with a sturdy foundation in recovery.
When you visit a suboxone clinic, you'll meet with a physician. They'll want to determine which prescription medicine will best help you with your symptoms and recovery.
A doctor will ask a series of questions that you're encouraged to answer truthfully. Care providers are non-judgemental but need accurate answers to provide the best treatment options possible.
Questions include your opiate of choice, whether it's long or short-acting, the last time you used, and how frequently you use. These are the same questions you'll be asked with telehealth treatment.
Telehealth opioid treatment provides access to care for individuals who may not live near a treatment clinic or whose clinic has shut down due to COVID restrictions. With ongoing uncertainty in the pandemic, telehealth opioid treatment provides convenient access to care with fast service and regular prescription refills.
You will still receive care from a board-certified doctor with years of experience helping individuals with opiate use disorder.
