Adult Opiate Recovery Program

Opiate addicts often feel apart from other addicts and believe that they have to keep their feelings bottled up inside. In the Opiate Recovery Program, there is a supportive, no-pressure environment where the client can feel free to share feelings, fears and concerns.
At Starlite Recovery Center we have realized a significant need for individuals seeking opiate detox and recovery to find a facility that approaches client care with a more engaging and professional plan. We are proud to be able to offer an inpatient opiate detox and rehabilitation program that offers an effective evidenced-based curriculum,  
In the Opiate Recovery Program, clients have the opportunity to learn from others' stories and to gain hope. Even in treatment, most opiate addicts may feel like outcasts, with no one to fully understand their problems. In the opiate group, they finally get to feel that they're not alone. Medically assisted withdrawal is not in itself "treatment"-it is only the first step in the treatment process. Patients who go through medically assisted withdrawal but do not receive any further treatment show drug abuse patterns similar to those who were never treated.
Our program goals are threefold:

• Comfortable and safe detox,
• Education with both professional and peer support specific to opiate addiction  
• Assistance in eliminating craving and euphoric response to use.

Among addictive drugs, opiate withdrawal has proven to be extremely difficult. From the heroin addict to the new breed of prescription drug addict, the difficulties and pain of withdrawal remain the same. Suboxone (Buprenorphine and Naloxone) offers a more comfortable withdrawal from opiates during detox from Oxycontin, heroin, hydrocodone and other prescription opiate drugs, liberating the client to focus on other crucial core issues of recovery. A Suboxone taper is a proven method to help the opiate addict to achieve the beginnings of sobriety without suffering through the entire withdrawal period
In addition, the Food and Drug Administration gave the green light for use of Vivitrol for the treatment of opiate addiction.  This is a non-narcotic, non-mood-altering, non-addicting once a month injectable medication that has been shown to be a very useful tool in opiate addiction recovery. Vivitrol is time-released and blocks brain receptors from feeling the effects of the opiates.  When the user no longer has that mental reward system responding, cravings for narcotics will usually subside.  One of the studies was completed in Russia and found that the drug, when compared with a placebo injection, was 50% more effective for keeping someone suffering from an opiate addiction off the drug.
