Fountain City, TN – ReVIDA® Recovery is a recovery organization that offers life-saving medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people living with opioid use disorder (OUD). ReVIDA Recovery is a continually growing organization with branches throughout Virginia and Tennessee. Recently, they opened a new location in Fountain City.
“When it comes to recovering from opioid use disorder, we know that the path isn’t always easy, but we promise that it is worth it. OUD doesn’t develop in a vacuum, and you’re doing your best to handle everything going on in your life. With the right support, we’re confident that an opioid-free future is in your sights.
“Each of our patients has a unique story, and we know that’s true for you, too. That’s why we’ll work with you to craft an individualized treatment plan that utilizes a combination of Suboxone or Sublocade, along with individual therapy and group therapy.
“Recovery isn’t just about empowering you to end your opioid consumption; it’s also about ensuring that you have the tools you need to build a future that you want. That’s why our program is designed to address both the physical and emotional aspects of recovery,” the website begins.
During treatment, patients work with three key team members. Their MAT doctor prescribes the medication they need for treatment and answers medical questions. The care coordinator assigned to their case connects patients to the resources they need. This varies depending on the individual but can include access to food resources, assistance with finding employment, suitable clothing, and more. Finally, each patient is assigned to a therapist who will empower them to develop the coping skills they’ll need for a successful recovery.
“When you take opioids, they attach to the opioid receptors in your brain. This causes the brain to block out pain and produce excessive amounts of dopamine. Dopamine is what causes intense levels of happiness or even euphoria.
“Dopamine plays a crucial role in the brain’s reward center. Usually, dopamine is released when you’re doing something you enjoy, like eating your favorite meal or spending an afternoon with your best friend. These high levels of dopamine make you want to repeat pleasurable activities.
“When you take opioids, the dopamine levels in your brain get so high that the amount your brain naturally produces doesn’t compare. This causes the flu-like symptoms of withdrawal that occur when you stop taking opioids. In an attempt to avoid withdrawal symptoms and satiate the cravings that come with them, many people return to opioid use,” the website continues.
MAT is key to reducing withdrawal symptoms, like muscle aches, sinus issues, and gastrointestinal distress. The treatment also improves cravings, which empowers clients to avoid a return to use.
“Choosing recovery isn’t easy, but it’s worth it, and we’ll be cheering you on the entire way. We’ll work to build your trust and work with you to develop the tools you need for a lifetime in recovery. Whether this is your first time stepping away from opioids or you’re starting again after returning to use, ReVIDA® Recovery’s Fountain City Suboxone treatment center is here for you,” the website concludes.
ReVIDA® Recovery knows that no two opioid use disorder stories are identical, and they take pride in learning about patients as people first. Their opioid use disorder program has healed many people in Appalachia living with OUD. Their flexible treatment options enable individuals to receive treatment that accommodates their schedule.
