How It Works
How is Suboxone used in addiction treatment?
Addiction treatment is a branch of health care focused on diagnosing, treating, and supporting the recovery of people who suffer from the disease of addiction. Left untreated, addiction increases your risk of developing serious health problems, including heart disease, respiratory failure, and, ultimately, death.
At On the Mark Healthcare Services, Hannah and the team specialize in diagnosing and treating opioid addiction. Opioids are a group of prescription and illegal street drugs.
Prescription opioids, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, are powerful pain relievers. Like all opioids, they also cause a euphoric “high” and change your brain, leading to dependence and addiction.
On the Mark Healthcare Services safely treat opioid addictions with Suboxone, a medication that allows you to receive the care you need without entering an inpatient facility. They also work with family members affected by a loved one’s addiction or substance use.
