What is a substance disorder?

Substance use disorders occur when the recurrent use of alcohol and/or drugs causes clinically and functionally significant impairment, such as health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home.

 

How do I know if I need care?

The main reason someone would need care is if their use of alcohol or other drugs is affecting their daily functioning. This might include decreased work performance, interference with the ability to take care of their family, or worsening health issues.

 

What is Suboxone?

Suboxone is a prescription medication used for the treatment of opioid dependence. Suboxone is a sublingual film comprised of buprenorphine and naloxone. Suboxone is the preferred method of administration for buprenorphine because naloxone decreases the abuse potential of buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is used for the treatment of pregnant patients.

 

Who can prescribe Suboxone?

Suboxone must be prescribed by a physician with a Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA) Waiver.

 

What is Vivitrol?

Vivitrol, a one month naltrexone intramuscular injection, is a prescription medication used for the treatment of alcohol and opioid dependence. Daily oral naltrexone has been used widely for the treatment of alcohol dependence, but poses challenges to patients managing multiple psychosocial stressors. Vivitrol allows for increased compliance and better health outcomes because the responsibility of daily dosing is removed.

 

Who can prescribe Vivitrol?

Vivitrol can be administered by a physician, nurse, or medical assistant after completing a training with a Vivitrol representative.
