Suboxone and Subutex aided Treatment Proving Successful at Sober Living by the Sea

Buprenorphine is becoming a more commonly used tool to aid in the detox and recovery process for opioid dependent individuals.

Sober Living by the Sea Treatment Centers have been treating opioid dependent individuals for over 23 years in Orange County, Southern California.  In the last several years, the use of buprenorphine (Suboxone detox treatment and Subutex treatment maintenance) has been utilized more and more often to manage pain, cravings, and other withdrawal symptoms.

 

Sober Living by the Sea Treatment Centers  is staffed primarily by men and women who are in recovery themselves.  The many individualized programs allow for personalized treatment programs to be created for every individual, and these programs always address the "mind, spirit, and body"  aspects of recovery.  As a 12-Step based treatment center, there is a strong belief that pharmaceutical developments like buprenorphine and naltrexone are strictly complements to a well rounded treatment protocol, and are always carefully prescribed to only appropriate individuals depending on the thorough assessment of the individuals history of drug use.

 

Now that the buprenorphine products (Suboxone and Subutex) have gained vast acceptance from the clinical staff based on their personal experience providing care for men and women in need of treatment for opiate addiction, Sober Living by the Sea's staff has a solid history utilizing these groundbreaking drugs properly.  The drugs continue to be prescribed when appropriate.

 

One of the most well loved clinicians "Johnny O" (also in recovery from opiate addiction) recently posted blog entries outlining what he felt was a successful use of Suboxone  and an unsuccessful use of Suboxone.Not surprisingly, Johnny O  is of the opinion that the Suboxone can be effective in aiding the recovery process - when that process is a residential treatment program that includes therapy, workshops, 12-Step meetings, exercise, and other esteem building recovery activities.
