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, Vivitrol, Sublocade, Kratom, Brixati 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 – commonly referred to as MAT – have been very effective in both stopping the craving for your pain medication and managing your pain.

BREAKING NEWS
As of August 7, 2026 The Drug Enforcement Administration is moving to ban all concentrated forms of the kratom alkaloid 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) by classifying it as an illegal Schedule One controlled substance, the same classification as heroin and LSD. If you have been using this as a treatment method and are having problems getting off of these, we can help. Please call us immediately for a consultation

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.
