Subutex Treatment and Rehab
Another way people attempt to treat themselves at home is through tapering. Instead of abruptly stopping Subutex use, the stoppage is gradual. While this method decreases the possibility of setbacks occurring, it is not advised to do this without medical supervision. Weaning off the drug is a better option than quitting cold turkey because it allows the body to slowly get used to functioning without the drug. However, only a doctor can properly determine the correct amount that the pill should be decreased by, on a weekly basis.
The desire to begin a life free of Subutex in the comfort of someone’s home sounds appealing, but it’s beneficial to the recovery process to allow a team of medical professionals to assist a patient through the recovery process. If withdrawal symptoms become unbearable, having a treatment team available can help ease those symptoms and help the patient through any withdrawal-related urges that they may have for the drug.
Working with The Recovery Village will allow medical professionals to create a treatment plan that is made specifically for the patient and takes into consideration their unique needs. This way, the treatment team can determine the amount of time and the types of treatment that are needed to ensure a successful recovery.
To determine the proper course of treatment, patients can go through an evaluation by doctors and therapists to figure out the proper course of treatment. During this phase, doctors will consider the dosage, the length of the addiction and the severity of the addiction when the configure a patient’s plan. After the evaluation, the Subutex detox begins the minute the patient stops taking the drug. This is the point when withdrawal symptoms come into play, but the treatment team is there to ensure a patient’s comfort and safety during this time. Once detox is complete, patients can go to aftercare. This is when the tools and skills that were taught in treatment are applied to life in the community. The patient may then be recommended to start attending regular therapy sessions or to attend a 12-step program to ensure their sobriety stays in tact.

Paying for rehab is a reason why many people choose to disregard seeking professional treatment. However, most people aren’t aware that private insurance companies are mandated through the Affordable Care Act to cover substance use disorder treatment and any other co-occurring disorders that could be present as well. The stipulations of individual insurance will vary on your specific provider, so it’s important to call and find out how much coverage is allowed for treatment.
If paying through private insurance is not an option, there are other ways to pay for treatment. With some research, patients can find and apply for eligible grants to help cover the cost of Subutex rehab. Private pay is also an option, which includes borrowing money for family members or taking out a private loan. Government-sponsored insurance like Medicare or Medicaid can be helpful as well.
Low-income treatment facilities and free centers are also available for people who are struggling to pay for treatment. However, these kinds of centers tend to accumulate a long waitlist, so it’s better to look into alternative payment options. The Recovery Village can help people figure out the best way to pay for their treatment. No one should give up on the thought of living a drug-free life because of the cost of rehab.
