At Recovery Strategies in Knoxville Tennessee we believe one of the best ways to help those suffer from drug addiction (opiate, heroin, and meth addictions) is through the use of Medically Assisted Treatment using a medication called Suboxone to which treats the drug dependency / reliance. This is all completed in an office-base setting.

Suboxone also called buprenorphine is the first medical drug endorsed for the treatment of those that are drug/narcotic dependent.

The drug itself is a partial opioid agonist – it’s opioid effects are limited compared with those produced by full opioid agonists, such as oxycodone or heroin. Suboxone also contains another ingredient called Naloxone which its an opioid antagonist.

Upon medically direction and supervision, Suboxone is taken sublingually (placing hit under the tongue), when doing so very little will actually enter your blood stream.

Suboxone, used properly and administers by the trusted caring staff at Recovery Strategies in Knoxville helps with:

• The pain of detox from opiate addiction
• Assisted patients with having stability in their life thus the ability to continue in recovery programs such as 12 step meetings
• Reduces the physical desire to use the drug and restrain from relapsing
