About this service
Replacement therapy allows patients to be monitored regularly by their doctor. Once on a replacement therapy program, patients are no longer controlled by the wild emotional swings, debilitating withdrawal symptoms or intense cravings that opiates produced in them. Replacement therapy alone, however, is also not a completely sufficient treatment. Patients also need individual counseling in order to complete a full recovery. In addition, many professionals recommend that patients also participate in group therapy sessions. Group therapy can be extremely beneficial for recovering addicts because it allows them to gain a new perspective and strategies on dealing with their own situation by listening to other people who have the same addiction. This can assist the addict in the result of not feeling so alone in the recovery process and increase ones own individual support system.
