Suboxone Clinic - Kentucky - Opiate Suboxone Doctor

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the options for payment for treatment?

Payment is expected at the time of any service. We believe in the strongest protection of your information allowable by law. We will provide necessary information directly to patients who wish to file with their insurance providers for any out-of-network benefits.

What can I expect when I contact the Clinic?

You will have a interview to assess your appropriateness for treatment at the our clinic, and recommendations will be made for your level of care.

If I require medication assistance for withdrawal, how quickly can I expect to begin?

After completing your assessments if the physician feels you are a good candidate for treatment you will recieve a prescription for medication.

What are some of the reasons for exclusion from treatment?

Patients currently pregnant, suffering from acutely serious medical conditions, or who have medically dangerous withdrawal are excluded.

How much discomfort can I expect through the detoxification and withdrawal processes?

Medication assisted treamtment will help with the withdraw symptoms helping you get off opioid dependency. Our goal is to make the process as tolerable and manageable as possible. The types and amount of medications required to completely control discomfort would not allow the brain to start producing again what has been replaced by the chemical dependency. The goal of medically-assisted chemical dependency treatment is that the withdrawal is gradual enough to prevent medical emergencies or overwhelming symptoms, while allowing the brain to reach adequate production of the internal chemicals and the patient to develop personal tools and strategies for relapse prevention.

How long should I expect to remain in treatment?

Medical evidence shows that the average patient needs at least 6 months of medication-assisted treatment. This figure is primarily based on the biology of the brain, in terms of time needed to reach equilibrium again. Because biology is only one piece of the puzzle, the Kymedicalcenter uses multidisciplinary assessments and treatments to help our patients with these decisions. Of course, we hope that new research will provide faster and easier treatments, or even cures.

What should I do if I relapse or make some other mistake during treatment?

The hope is that contrary to the previous way of coping, you will gain some trust that allows you to notify a member of your treatment team as soon as possible. Punishment is not a part of our treatment. The natural consequences of failures are usually enough punishment. Relapse is part of the normal course of any illness. Building tools to prevent and overcome relapses is a major part of your treatment.

If there is trust with our treatment team, why do we need toxicology screens?

There are 4 major reasons for toxicology screens. Chemical dependency trains the behavior of deception and this takes time and effort to overcome. Toxicology screens (and other forms of accountability) are known deterrents to relapse. Clear screens reinforce treatment goals. Patients often need toxicology screens for administrative/legal reasons.

Why would I expect success with the treatment program when I have failed so many other times and treatments?

Above all else, the treatment is your treatment. Treatment is personalized to your goals and needs, but will also be based on the newest understanding and approaches to healing all of the areas damaged by chemical dependency. Your input into the treatment process is one of the most important pieces to improving recovery outcomes.
