Award-winning medication-assisted treatment — including buprenorphine, Subutex, Suboxone, and Naltrexone — with compassionate, confidential care for lasting recovery at our Daytona Beach and Fern Park locations.
At Living Well Wellness, we understand the struggles of those with opioid addiction and we are committed to their growth. We treat opioid addiction using medications such as buprenorphine, Subutex, Suboxone, and Naltrexone, overseen by our physicians. The right medication and treatment plan depend on your individual history and goals, and our providers will work with you to determine the best approach. Treatment is most effective in combination with counseling services, which can include different forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs.
For patients starting buprenorphine, Subutex, or Suboxone, treatment typically follows three phases:
Phase 1 — Induction: The medically monitored startup of buprenorphine treatment, performed in a qualified physician's office. The medication is administered when a patient has abstained from opioids for 12 to 24 hours and is in the early stages of withdrawal. It is important that the patient is in early withdrawal before beginning, as buprenorphine can bring on acute withdrawal if other opioids are still present in the bloodstream.
Phase 2 — Stabilization: Begins after a patient has discontinued or greatly reduced their misuse of opioids, no longer has cravings, and experiences few or no side effects. The buprenorphine dose may be adjusted during this phase. Because of the long-acting nature of buprenorphine, once stabilized some patients can switch to alternate-day dosing instead of daily dosing.
Phase 3 — Maintenance: Occurs when a patient is doing well on a steady dose of buprenorphine. The length of the maintenance phase is tailored to each patient and could be indefinite. Patients can also engage in further treatment — with or without medication-assisted treatment (MAT) — to prevent a possible relapse.
Insurance is not accepted for the doctor visit; however, Living Well Wellness works with your pharmacy to help get medication costs covered by insurance, and we can issue a reimbursement form for the visit upon request.
