Transforming Lives through Suboxone Assistance

Every journey to sobriety begins with a single step, and at the ACE Foundation of Florida, we're here to support that step with compassion and care. Our dedicated program offers essential assistance to those battling addiction, with a focus on the transformative benefits of Suboxone treatment.

Compassionate Care

Breaking the Chains of Addiction

For countless people, addiction is not just a battle against substances but also an internal struggle with stigma, despair, and loneliness. At the ACE Foundation, we recognize these challenges and have established an environment where hope thrives and judgment disappears.

Why Suboxone?

Suboxone is a groundbreaking medication that has shown immense promise in the realm of addiction treatment. Used predominantly for opioid addiction, Suboxone acts by curbing the painful withdrawal symptoms and intense cravings that many individuals experience during their recovery process. When incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan, it can act as a lifeline for many, enabling them to reclaim their lives and reconnect with their loved ones.

Efficacy and Safety in Treatment

Managing Opioid Use Disorder

Suboxone effectively reduces opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms, helping individuals maintain abstinence from opioid use. It must, however, be part of a comprehensive treatment plan, including counseling and behavioral therapies.

Potential Risks and Warnings

  • Risk of precipitated withdrawal if initiated too early.
  • Potential for severe withdrawal symptoms upon abrupt discontinuation.
  • Increased overdose risk when mixed with depressants like alcohol or benzodiazepines.

Use in Special Populations

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The risks versus benefits of Suboxone during pregnancy must be evaluated carefully. While methadone is more established in pregnancy, Suboxone without naloxone is an alternative. Caution is advised when breastfeeding, as Suboxone does pass into breast milk.

Prior to Treatment

Patients should discuss their full medical history, current medications, and any concerns with their healthcare provider. This conversation should encompass mental health, liver health, and substance use to ensure safe and effective use of Suboxone.

Best Practices for Use

Proper administration is crucial for the effectiveness of Suboxone. Here's how patients should take the medication:

  • Dissolve sublingual forms under the tongue and buccal films inside the cheek as directed.
  • Avoid drinking or eating until the medication is fully dissolved.
  • Follow precise dosing instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
