The Challenges of Pain Management and Addiction Recovery

Moderate to severe pain often requires the use of opioids (codeine, fentanyl, hydrocodone, morphine, oxycodone, tramadol, dilaudid demerol etc) to help manage.  But the extended or excessive use of these medications often result in a physical tolerance that grows into dependence.  Stopping the medications is difficult. Patients are stuck choosing between the continued use of the opioids for pain management or having to suffer the withdrawl symptoms.  Life becomes difficult and patients are unable to function or sleep without continued medication use.  Where do you turn for help? It is a tough predicament.

Thankfully, we have the answer you have been looking for. Our various pain management therapies including medication assisted treatment have been very effective in both stopping the craving for your pain medication and managing your pain.

The Solution

All help starts with identifying the issues surrounding the pain and continued substance use. We strive to establish a relationship of respect, compassion, empathy, honesty and trust.

We establish an individualized medical treatment plan based on your history of use / abuse and considering medication assisted treatment options, psychosocial and spiritual support and nutrition, exercise and sleep.  Often this can be done through outpatient office visits or telemed appointments.  Occasionally an in-patient setting is recommended.

There is hope and light and success for a new life and a brighter future. The path to help starts with a phone call.

Dr. Jackson became a friend through this process. Someone who listened, someone who understood , and mostly someone who cared.

I was not looking to recover when I found Dr. Jackson. I was simply out of options. Out of money, out of pills, and owed too many people too much money.

This process took time, and it wasn’t easy , but it saved my life.

This treatment plan was what was best for me. It saved my marriage, my job and my life.

Recovery is possible. Life is livable. Change is attainable. All of this is due to Dr. Jackson.

I have graduated from the program, and am now officially chemical free! It feels amazing and has allowed me to give up other unhealthy addictions.

Thank you Dr Jackson, Lynn, Heidi and Staff.. for your support and caring.

I wanted to share how much Dr Jackson helped me in my recovery from opioid addiction. I went to detox from a 10 year long addiction to pain meds and when I came home the depression and post acute withdrawal was causing suicidal thoughts. I struggled for 6 months and finally decided to try medication to help me function. I looked very carefully at all the options locally and was disgusted by how most clinics operate. I was referred to Dr Jackson and knew on first visit he was the best choice. He has extensive training in rehabilitation and spends all the time needed to get to assess you individually. I’ve never in my life had such excellent care by a medical practice. If you are struggling and think you can not recover please give Dr Jackson a try. I went from laying in bed all day wanting to die to a fully functioning happy person. Everyone in this office is great no judgement compassionate caring people who just want to save lives!!!! I thank god every day for Dr Jackson!!!!!

Dr. Jackson is a godsend for those who truly want the help needed to change their lives. My opioid addiction was borne from many years of powerful narcotic medications I was taking for a chronic spinal condition. Dr. Jackson helped me find a new and much healthier path to wellness. By helping me overcome addiction he helped me to literally save my own life, my marriage, and my family.
I will be forever grateful for his guidance and assistance with this turning point in my life.”

Dr. Jackson has been such a wonderful change. My Dr. shut down his practice and Dr. Jackson and his caring wife saw me on a Saturday morning. In 3 months we have cut all my medicine in half, by my choice, but with their care and guidance. I am grateful.

Dr. Jackson not only finds your specific needs out, he does it in a very thorough but thoughtful way to your situation. I was extremely nervous my first time but Lynn and Dr. Jackson have a very warm and welcoming demeanor. Dr. Jackson is very knowledgable and would recommend him to anyone needing help. -G

Dr. Jackson is so wonderful I have had opiate addiction for 25 years and never felt like I found a home. I have now. FINALLY! The entire office is so amazing they all care and that’s very rare. I would not waste another day using. Ask yourself do you like the up’s and down’s of using or do you want to feel great every minute of every day. I personally enjoy my life so much not using. You will too.

Call Dr. Jackson’s office and don’t waste another minute. He’s for real. He cares. Thank God for him. 🙂

Dr. Jackson has been wonderful with my transition between clinics. When I had been notified my previous clinic was closing, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Since the transition, he has been very helpful at figuring out a plan that works for me. He’s very thorough and quick, unlike some other clinics I’ve been to where you have to wait hours to be seen. Personally since seeing Dr. Jackson, my overall quality of life has taken a 180 and I owe it all to Dr. Jackson and his great staff. He truly knows his stuff.

I âme a patient of Dr. Jacksons and I am beyond satisfied with the service I receive. Overtime I visit the office for an appointment. Awesome service, great people, awesome experience.

I have been seeing Dr. Jackson for about five months and I hm grateful that I was referred here. They have been nothing but welcoming and accommodating to my work schedule. All of the staff are friendly and professional. Also by switching to Dr. Jackon’s I save $300 a month! They would be a great fit for anyone.
