Opiate (Narcotic Pain Medicine) Addiction
In 2002 using a physician-based approach to substance dependencies, the  medical staff began treating opiate addiction with Suboxone in combination with intensive outpatient treatment or similar program.  Suboxone suppresses withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings by preventing opiates from attaching to specific nerve receptors in the brain.
