FDA Approves Opioid Treatment

The Federal Drug Administration releases information regarding the latest federally approved treatments for individuals going through opioid detox. Those treatments approved by the FDA are proven to be safe and effective following a series of clinical trials. One of the most recent treatments for opioid addiction utilizes a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone called:

  • Zubsolv, a similar drug to Suboxone and Subutex

This treatment offers individuals with the similar effects of other detoxing medications, available via the Great West Insurance Opioid Detox Coverage. However, patients can take less of this new drug while receiving the same beneficial effects. Made by Orexo, a Swedish drugmaker, this medication comes in a pill form that tastes like menthol and is dissolvable sublingually, or under the tongue. The benefits of this medication is to ease an opioid addict through the detox period, which can leave them in serious physical pain with symptoms including:

  • Severe abdominal cramping
  • Bone and muscle pains
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Excessive sweating
  • Lack of control over muscle movements
  • Severe diarrhea

Zubsolv is a medication used in conjunction with other treatment offerings including counseling and psychosocial therapy. Under the Great West Insurance Opioid Detox Coverage benefits patients can receive this type of medication during the detox period. Prescription medications, such as Zubsolv, Subutex and Suboxone, allow patients to have fewer detox symptoms. The symptoms resulting in detox, a period lasting anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks, are quite extreme. As a result most detoxing patients return to opioid use in order to relieve their body and mind from the detox symptoms. Through the use of medications prescribed for detox, patients stand a much better chance at recovery, which involves the next step of rehab for opioid addiction. Patients who have successfully completed a detox program for opioids are moved into a rehab program. This is commonly an inpatient program. However, there are outpatient rehab programs available to individuals who have other commitments.
