Suboxone and Zubsolv are sublingual medications that contain the active ingredients buprenorphine and naloxone. These two medications can be prescribed to adults who are seeking services for opiate dependence (i.e. prescription pain medications and heroin). This medication is used to help reduce risk and to minimize cravings for opiates. The dosing of the medication varies from patient to patient and an individualized treatment plan will be developed with their provider.
Sublocade is a monthly injection that contains the active ingredient buprenorphine. This medication is used in adults with opiate dependence. If patients are interested in this treatment option they must be assessed by their treatment provider to see if they meet the criteria to receive this injection. This option can be beneficial for the patient who struggles to remember to take daily medication and to help reduce risk.
Vivitrol is a monthly injection with the active ingredient naltrexone. This medication can be used in adults who are seeking services for opiate and alcohol dependence. Vivitrol is used to help reduce cravings for both opiate and alcohol use.
If patients want to utilize MAT to help support their recovery, patients need to work with their treatment provider to choose the MAT path that will likely be the best fit for their recovery journey.
West Grove Clinic (WGC) adheres to a comprehensive program and all patients are referred to additional supportive services (ex. IOP, individual counseling, aftercare group, etc) to aid in their recovery journey. WGC uses a comprehensive approach to treatment because of the benefits it provides the patient long-term in their recovery.

opioid uSE DISORDER
There are several treatment options available for opioid addiction, and it is important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction. Treatment such as medication and/or therapy for opioid use can be effective tools to help support someone in their recovery journey.
OPIOID ADDICTION
It is no secret that the opioid epidemic has taken a toll on communities across the United States. An estimated 2.1 million Americans suffer from opioid addiction, and many more are at risk of developing an addiction. Opioid Use Disorder is a serious problem that can lead to devastating consequences, including overdose and death.
If you or someone you know is struggling with opioid addiction, there are resources available to help. Here are some important things to keep in mind:
Opioid addiction is a serious problem that can lead to devastating consequences. Some of these consequences include (From Justice.gov) on average:
At least 78 people will die from an opioid-related overdose, and according to public health reports from the field, the 2016 overdose death statistics will far outnumber the 78-deaths-per-day statistic of 2014.
3,900 people will use a prescription opioid outside of legitimate medical purposes and supervision. These prescription drugs are many times obtained through theft, fraud, or otherwise diverted from people with legitimate, medically-appropriate prescriptions.
580 people will try heroin for the first time.
Heroin overdoses increased 244% between 2007 and 2013. Many of the new heroin users are youths, with an average age of 24 ½ years old for first-time users.
The change in heroin administration routes to pill form, coupled with the rise of counterfeit pills often containing heroin, fentanyl, and fentanyl derivatives, has caused unwitting users who purchase drugs on the street to overdose and die in record numbers.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Have a meaningful conversation with your family. Reject the notion that “it can’t happen to you or your family.” Talk aloud about the threat opioid abuse brings to your family. Commit to asking the tough questions.
Invest in your family and community’s future. Many intensely affected regions routinely host public forums, town halls, prevention activities at schools, community vigils, walks, and fun runs. Get involved and participate.
Speak up. Contact law enforcement when you suspect drug-related activity in your neighborhood. Successful policing relies on a whole-community approach to identify and bring drug trafficking organizations to justice.
Keep any prescription drugs in your house secure and locked away, out of reach of others.
KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS OF OPIOID USE:
Needle marks on arms and legs
Constricted, “pinpoint” pupils.
Having trouble staying awake, or falling asleep at inappropriate times.
Flushed, itchy skin.
Withdrawing from social activities that were once enjoyed.
Sudden and dramatic mood swings that seem out of character.
Impulsive actions and decision-making.
Engaging in risky activities, such as driving under the influence.
Visiting multiple doctors in order to obtain more prescriptions.
