Treating patients nationwide for drug and alcohol addiction the facility is a proponent of medically assisted drug treatment for the continued health of victims suffering from substance use disorders. A medical associate comments, “Methadone and suboxone have been instrumental in helping drug addicts reestablish their lives after recovering from addiction. The problem is, those drugs are addictive themselves. Although they don’t produce the same effect that heroin and opiate substances do, they have a risk of abuse without continual medical monitoring. Vivitrol, on the other hand, has no potential for abuse because it does not allow opiate and narcotics to affect the brain at all. Methadone and suboxone inhibit opiate receptors, while Vivitrol and naltrexone completely block those receptors. This is huge. Everyone suffering from an opiate based addiction should favor the non opiate based drug.”
