Questions and answers about Direct2Recovery treatment
You may have a multitude of questions about the specific Substance Use Disorder, the detox experience, the steps for treatment, or continuing recovery care. Below are answers to some questions that you may have, regardless of your situation.
Direct2Recovery uses the most current, widely recognized, and time-tested methods for substance use disorder, addiction for alcohol, and drug abuse treatment. We combine a variety of approaches to help you into recovery: medical care from a certified provider, psychological consultation, use of approved medications, peer support, 12 Step facilitation, and family counseling. The more an individual takes advantage of these treatment opportunities, the more likely they are to succeed. From more than 10 years of experience, we know that patients who complete treatment have a higher success rate than those who do not.

Medication Fees
Most insurances provide coverage for the medications being prescribed at Direct2Recovery. For patients that must pay for the medications out-of-pocket, there are different strategies and medications for making this affordable.
Because of the severe level of addiction caused by opiates, medication assisted treatment is often required. At Direct2Recovery, a variety of medication treatment options are available. Most patients initially start on buprenorphine/naltrexone, also known as Suboxone® or Zubsolv®.
Buprenorphine is a medication with partial opiate effects, designed to assist people who have made the decision to stop using opiates, or to switch from methadone maintenance. It works by helping prevent the withdrawal and craving experiences that often lead to relapse, without providing a “high” that reinforces use. It is much safer than continued use of opiate drugs and can assist a person in regaining normal functioning.
Buprenorphine is also safer than methadone, LLAM, and other earlier maintenance treatments. Suboxone®, the commercial version of the medication, also contains a small amount of naltrexone, an opiate “antidote.” Buprenorphine may be used as a stepping-stone to become free of opiate use altogether or may be used as an indefinite maintenance therapy. The decision will be addressed with each client as treatment progresses. In general, tapering to a very low dose or complete discontinuation will be the goal of treatment.
Length of treatment is variable and different for every patient. In general, we like to see patients in recovery for at least six months prior to discussing tapering off their medications. Because of the high percentages of relapse in opiate addiction, many patients continue treatment long-term.
Completion of treatment is specific to the individual. As mentioned above, we would like to see patients in drug rehabilitation and alcohol addiction treatment for a least six months prior to considering tapering off their medications. Although we encourage ongoing treatment, there is no continuing obligation and patients may elect to discontinue treatment at any time.
All patient records are completely confidential and will only be shared upon patient request along with a signed HIPPA consent form.
