About United Health Services(UHS) Binghamton General Hospital - New Horizons
United Health Services(UHS) Binghamton General Hospital - New Horizons located in Binghamton, NY provides a State Funded rehab program. Detailed description details:
United Health Services(UHS) Binghamton General Hospital - New Horizons provides a Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program for opioids.
United Health Services(UHS) Binghamton General Hospital - New Horizons uses a combination of medication, counseling, and behavioral therapy to treat opioid addiction.
Medications used in the MAT include: Buprenorphine; Unlike methadone treatment, which must be performed in a highly structured clinic, buprenorphine is the first medication to treat opioid dependency that is permitted to be prescribed or dispensed in physician offices, significantly increasing treatment access.
Methadone; Methadone works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain. It lessens the painful symptoms of opiate withdrawal and blocks the euphoric effects of opiate drugs such as heroin, morphine, and codeine, as well as semi-synthetic opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone.
Naltrexone; Naltrexone blocks the euphoric and sedative effects of drugs such as heroin, morphine, and codeine. It works differently in the body than buprenorphine and methadone, which activate opioid receptors in the body that suppress cravings. Naltrexone binds and blocks opioid receptors, and is reported to reduce opioid cravings. There is no abuse and diversion potential with naltrexone.
Hours: 7 am - 4 pm

I'm a drug addict and I been tryin to stay clean but it's hard without taking suboxone.. I was looking to find a doctor who prescribes it. I think this is the only thing that'll help me.. I been a addict for 18 years.. I don't do heroine and never have or will but I been addicted to hydrocodone and oxycodone and oxytocin and oxymorphone for 16 years.. I've tried suboxone or subtext once when I was sick and it helped.. but I want to be clean now by choice and I think this is a big step in helping me..
