Procedure
Addiction Medicine
Addiction medicine is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders and addictive behaviors. At Spinal Interventions, we offer advanced, evidence-based treatments for patients struggling with opioid and alcohol dependence.
Our addiction medicine program includes three key treatment options:
Naltrexone Implant — A small device placed under the skin that continuously releases naltrexone for several months, blocking opioid receptors and reducing cravings without the need for daily medication.
Vivitrol (Naltrexone) Injection — An FDA-approved once-monthly injection that blocks the effects of opioids and reduces cravings for both opioids and alcohol, administered in-office by our providers.
Ultra Rapid Opioid Detoxification — A medically supervised procedure performed under anesthesia that compresses the withdrawal process from days into hours, allowing patients to begin naltrexone maintenance therapy quickly.
Substance use disorders are medical conditions that require professional treatment. Our board-certified physicians combine medication-assisted treatment with individualized care plans to help patients achieve and maintain lasting recovery.
