In November, 2018 蹤獲弝け received a license to open the Knox county program. The clinic will provide comprehensive treatment for adults 18 years of age and older who are struggling with addiction to heroin or other opioids such as prescription pain medication. The program provides daily medication (Methadone) coupled with individual and group therapy and case management services to treat each individuals unique needs.
Whether opioids are prescribed by a physician or acquired illegally, with continued use and misuse, they can cause serious changes to the brain and body. People often hesitate to begin the recovery process due to fear of the physical symptoms associated with withdrawal, or because they doubt recovery is even possible.
Methadone is a medication administered daily under monitored, controlled conditions. It has been utilized for years with a great deal of research determining its safety and effectiveness. Once patients begin taking methadone at appropriate levels, withdrawal is avoided, cravings are minimized and physical and mental stabilization occurs. That is when the real recovery begins, said Jessica Nevill, LMHC, WIN Recoverys Clinical Director.
The combination of medication and behavioral health interventions is the most effective in combating this disease, said DJ Rhodes, Chief of Opioid Treatment at 蹤獲弝け Inc. Opioid Use Disorder is a disease; treatment works and recovery is absolutely possible, he added.
We are so grateful to the Knox county community for welcoming this clinic to the area, said Melvin L. Burks, CEO of 蹤獲弝け Inc. There is a solid understanding of the benefits of medication assisted treatment and because of that many people in this community will benefit, he added.
