Q: What Does "IOP" Stand For ?
A: IOP stands for “intensive outpatient program.” IOP programs treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. 

Q: How Does The Program Work?
​A: Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are treatment programs used to address addictions, depression, eating disorders, or other dependencies that do not require detoxification or round-the-clock supervision. They enable patients to continue with their normal, day-to-day lives in a way that residential treatment programs do not

IOP Programs are designed to establish support mechanisms, help with relapse management, and provide coping strategies.
​

Q: Why chose an IOP over Inpatient Residential Treatment? 
A: While inpatient treatment or rehabilitation programs provide the highest level of care, separating people with addictions, Intensive Outpatient Programs allow participants with families or full time commitments such as work to take part in treatment  without having to leave their lives behind for an extended period of time.  IOP clients can still engage in day to day activities. 

Q: Who Should Enroll In An IOP Program ?
A:  Those who struggle with an addiction and a co-occurring mental health diagnosis.

• Participants must be age 16+
• Medicaid Recipients (Aetna, Healthy Blue, Louisiana Health Care Connections, United Health Care, Amerihealth ) *See Full List*

What is Suboxone ?
Suboxone is an opioid prescription drug used to treat opioid dependence by decreasing the symptoms of addiction as well as reducing cravings for drugs such as heroin, codeine, fentanyl, and oxycodone.  It can be used as an induction agent to stabilize someone in withdrawal during the medical detoxification process as well as for maintenance treatment to promote recovery from opioid use disorder. While it is an effective medication for opioid addiction, Suboxone is often utilized as part of a comprehensive treatment approach that incorporates not only medications, but behavioral interventions, mutual-help groups and, when needed, treatment for any co-occurring mental health conditions (like depression or anxiety).

 How Does Suboxone Work ? 
Suboxone is made up of two different medications:

• Buprenorphine
• Naloxone

Buprenorphine is what’s known as a partial opioid agonist—an opioid medication that produces relatively weak opioid effects. This means that buprenorphine reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the full effect of other opioids (such as heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, etc.), which can make it easier for you to stop using your opioid drug of choice

Naloxone is an opioid receptor antagonist medication that is combined with buprenorphine in Suboxone and similar generic combination formulations. Though naloxone is used on its own to reverse the deadly effects of opioid overdose, it is instead included in this combo to help discourage intentional misuse of buprenorphine, should it be dissolved and injected or inhaled nasally—doing so would result in the rapid onset of withdrawal in opioid dependent individuals.

Suboxone OUD Treatment
Suboxone is part of a family of medications used in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) called “opioid antagonists,” which is the opposite of “opioid agonists” such as heroin, morphine and oxycodone. When you use an opioid agonist, the drug activates a pain-blocking receptor in your brain, altering your perceptions of pain and releasing endorphins that mimic pleasure.

Suboxone Side Effects & Warnings 
​Common side effects of Suboxone include headache, diarrhea, constipation, and nausea. In addition, some people become attached to the relaxation Suboxone can cause, and that can lead to addiction and/or drug relapse.Suboxone treatment can include a number of side effects, the most severe of which are caused by Suboxone’s status as a partial opioid agonist. According to the drug manufacturer, common side effects of Suboxone can include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Headache
• Sweating
• Numb mouth
• Constipation
• Painful tongue
• Dizziness and fainting
• Problems with concentration
• Irregular heartbeat
• Insomnia
• Blurry vision
• Back pain
• Drowsiness​

Users of Suboxone should keep in contact with their treatment professional while they are on this medication.
