How do you get help for a severe opiate addiction?

Suboxone: Opioid detoxification with Suboxone or Methadone is an option. You need to get into a support group setting.

Opiates: Long-term treatment program is needed. First step is detoxification, then psychosocial & pharmacological interventions.

Two Models: There are two models when it comes to the treatment for opiate dependency. The first is called: abstinence based model which means the addict does not take any opiates and becomes involved in various other therapies, either inpatient or outpatient. The other is called: harm reduction model which utilizes replacement therapy with opiates like Suboxone until that can be gradually tapered off.
