Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain - they change its structure and how it works. These brain changes can be long-lasting and can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who misuse drugs. Drug addiction is not a weakness.
Opioids are naturally found in the opium poppy plant. Some opioid medications are made from this plant, while others are made in laboratories. Opioids have been used for hundreds of years to treat pain, cough, and diarrhea. Opioids include the illegal drug heroin, human-made opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers like Vicodin®, Percocet®, and OxyContin®.
In the short term, opioids can make some people feel relaxed and happy. But they can also cause more harmful effects like extreme sleepiness, confusion, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Over time, opioids can lead to insomnia, muscle pain, heart infections, pneumonia, and addiction. Opioids can also lead to overdose and death.
We offer a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment plan including counseling and medication at an affordable rate and provide compassionate care and respectful interaction with professional and friendly staff.
Recovery can take years or even decades. Relapses are common. There needs to be a plan, from intensive outpatient to psychotherapy, for what comes after an initial bout of treatment. If a program promises a cure after one period of treatment, that's a big warning sign they're not serious about long-term recovery.

Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex, Sublocade, zubsolv, etc.) is an opioid partial agonist, which means it works in a similar capacity to full opioids, enough to keep the person from feeling severe withdrawal effects. However, it does not produce the same intense, euphoric feeling as a full opioid, in turn offering you a greater amount of protection against creating another issue of dependence. It does this by occupying the opioid receptors in the brain.
Buprenorphine medication suppresses the debilitating symptoms of cravings and withdrawal, enabling the patient to engage in therapy, counseling and support, so they can implement positive long-term changes in their lives which develops into the new healthy patterns of behavior necessary to achieve sustained addiction remission.

Most insurance plans do cover Buprenorphine medication. However, many people seeking treatment prefer to pay for the medication personally, in order to keep their treatment measures private. Please remember, drug addiction is nothing to be ashamed about. It is important that you reach out so that the addiction professionals have a chance to help you.
Generally, Louisiana Medicaid covers Buprenorphine medication under FFS plans.
We charge $220 for an appointment. HOPE Recovery Clinics does not accept insurance plans.
