Introducing the Rapid Induction Method: A New Era in OUD Treatment
Overcoming Precipitated Withdrawal: No Abstinence Required to Mitigate Prolonged Discomfort
Step Free Recovery is pioneering a transformative approach to OUD treatment with the rapid induction method. This innovative technique offers a major breakthrough. It significantly reduces the discomfort associated with precipitated withdrawal, condensing it to just 30-40 minutes. Unlike traditional methods, it doesn't require a period of abstinence from opioids, making the path to recovery more accessible and less daunting. This method represents a significant shift in treating OUD, providing a quicker, more comfortable transition to a life free from opioid dependence.
At Step-Free Recovery, we reject the notion of abstinence-only based recovery, most commonly seen in Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Opioid use disorder (OUD) is complex in that there is both a mental and physical dependence on the drug, and complete abstinence based recovery that discourages medication assisted treatment (MAT) has proven time and time again to just not work for individuals with OUD.
Unfortunately, despite the studies proving MAT’s clinical effectiveness, the stigma surrounding it affects its accessibility to those who need it. This stigma is perpetuated by common misconceptions, most notably that it is “trading one drug for another.”
Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), when used at therapeutic doses, is safe, improves treatment retention, and decreases illicit opioid use in individuals with OUD. Unfortunately, there is still limited access to it, especially in rural areas. Step-Free Recovery intends to bridge the gap between individuals with OUD and their access to Suboxone through the use of telehealth, starting with the state of Texas.
Our Treatment Philosophy
Step-Free Recovery was born from recognizing the stark challenges that those battling opioid use disorder (OUD) face, particularly amplified by the systemic barriers that block access to vital medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in areas like rural Texas. The palpable lack of providers and logistical impediments in these regions ignited a mission: to deliver access to life-saving treatment, eliminating geographical and logistical constraints.
The stigma attached to addiction generates yet another formidable barrier to seeking help, making the journey to recovery even more challenging. Step-Free Recovery actively works against stigmatization of individuals struggling with OUD, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone seeking help is welcomed and supported.
