Substance use disorder is specially protected. Not only do we abide by HIPPA for patient privacy, but there are extra regulations we follow to ensure that your privacy extends to other physicians, friends, family members, and employers.
While every individual is unique in what they need, we typically recommend treatment duration of 1 year of success (clean) in treatment before tapering. We taper medications slowly so you do not have any side effects while getting off of the medication.
It depends on the type of medication you choose as well as your time in treatment and your drug screen. We believe that for patients to have success, treatment needs to be as easy as possible. We work with you to make sure that you are safe during treatment, but still able to get doses even on days that you cannot attend. You will be allowed “take out” doses as quickly as possible taking into account your safety and accountability in the program.
Once you have been on a slow, safe taper, your dose will eventually become low enough to discontinue the medication. At that point, you should feel well enough to go back to normal life without medication and without relapse.
