With an MD from Tulane University School of Medicine and decades of experience in the medical field in Fayetteville, AR, Dr. Robert Tomlinson operates the Suboxone Recovery Center of Arkansas. Through this clinic, Dr. Robert Tomlinson assists individuals with an addiction to opioids.
Treating those with opioid addiction often involves the use of the prescription drug Suboxone, which combines the benefits of buprenorphine to block opioid receptors in the brain with naloxone's ability to reverse opioid effects. Suboxone has replaced the formerly-used methadone because the latter often simply substituted a methadone addiction for an opioid addiction.
Suboxone treatment typically takes place in conjunction with a personalized treatment plan including therapy or counseling. The medication alleviates withdrawal effects, allowing patients to examine cognitive reasons for the addiction without interference from these symptoms.
The first clinical trial for Suboxone, conducted by the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trails Network, showed substantially longer effects for those who received it versus those who simply completed a short-term detoxification process. Both groups in the study also received counseling.
