The physical aspects of addiction can be effectively managed using medication assisted treatment (MAT). There are three main medications that are used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD), including Methadone, Buprenorphine, and Naltrexone. Methadone and Buprenorphine (Suboxone®, Subutex® and injectable Sublocade®) are opioids that prevent and manage the physical symptoms of opioid withdrawal.
Opioid use disorder is often accompanied by, or even replaced by, the use of stimulants such as methamphetamine or cocaine. Although there are no FDA approved medications to treat stimulant use disorder, there is evidence-based research that suggests that naltrexone, along with other supportive medications, is effective in reducing stimulant use and even achieving abstinence (avoiding substance use). Behavioral health interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and contingency management, have been proven effective for treating stimulant use disorder. The combination of MAT and Behavioral Health counseling is important in all alcohol and substance use disorders.
For individuals that are in an active opioid dependence cycle and not ready to receive MAT and/or Behavioral Health Services for abstinence, harm reduction services are available through the Ho-Chunk Nation Pharmacies. Harm reduction services include Naloxone (Narcan®) dispensing, exchanging used syringes for unused syringes, condom distribution, and informational materials. Ho-Chunk Nation harm reduction program is called “SafeLink”, signifying “Safe” needle exchange and “Link” to services. Harm reduction is NOT promoting “drug use” as is commonly misunderstood and is stigmatizing. The harm reduction approach is a way to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections (including Hepatitis C and HIV), reduce used needles being disposed in the community, promoting and providing individuals with resources to assist with opioid abstinence when they are ready, and most importantly reducing opioid overdose death.
If you are interested in learning more please schedule an appointment with either Ho-Chunk Nation Health Care Clinics.
The Ho-Chunk Nation has certified Tobacco Treatment Specialists excited to assist individuals interested in quitting smoking, chewing, or vaping commercial tobacco/nicotine products. Individuals can meet one-on-one for scheduled in-person or phone appointments with a specialist to develop an individualized plan to quit successfully. This can include identifying personal goals, past experiences, triggers, withdrawal symptoms, and a quit date. Medication options can be discussed in detail in terms of benefits, risks, cost and possible side effects. This program is available to Tribally enrolled Native Americans, Ho-Chunk Nation employees, and the general public. All quit smoking medications are FREE for tribal members & those with the Ho-Chunk Nation insurance.
