Buprenorphine induction poses challenges, while Methadone requires lower initial dosages due to its impact on the breathing center.

Hyperalgesia and Opioids

This article sheds light on an often overlooked and misunderstood phenomenon known as drug-induced hyperalgesia. Essentially, it means that people who take opioids regularly can become more sensitive to pain. Initially, opioids provide relief for a few hours, but as the medication wears off, the underlying pain may feel even worse. Unfortunately, this is often mistaken as the pain condition worsening, leading to a dangerous cycle of increasing opioid doses. This can result in unintended opioid addiction, known as iatrogenic opioid addiction, where patients become physically dependent on the medication.

Where do opioids come from?

Opiates are naturally derived compounds from poppy sap and fibers, while opioids include both natural opiates and laboratory-synthesized compounds that work on the same brain receptors. Overprescribing of opioids by doctors and pharmaceutical companies has led to addiction issues, despite historical evidence showing the risk of addiction with chronic pain patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

At C.O.R.E., we strive to individualize treatment and maximize success. There is no time pressure. Some patients do well with short-term treatment while others benefit from long-term treatment. We know relapse is common and can have devastating consequences, so we continue treatment as long as necessary to help each patient achieve lasting success.

We work hard to educate patients about the benefits and safety of MAT. Many myths exist regarding methadone and other medications, but these concerns are discussed thoroughly with your treatment team. MAT is closely monitored, and when patients are ready, medications can be tapered safely under medical supervision to minimize withdrawal symptoms.

We work closely with each patient to achieve a "normalizing" medication dose that relieves withdrawal symptoms and cravings while minimizing side effects. Through collaboration between medical providers, counselors, and dispensing staff, most patients reach this goal within days or weeks.

Your first visit includes an intake assessment, medical history, physical examination, and counseling evaluation. Together we'll discuss treatment options and develop an individualized care plan. Medication doses are adjusted carefully based on your response, and regular communication with your care team is encouraged.

Not necessarily. C.O.R.E. Medical Clinic serves patients throughout Sacramento, West Sacramento, and surrounding communities. Many patients choose us because of our accessibility, treatment approach, and convenient location.

Opioid withdrawal is extremely uncomfortable and often leads to continued opioid use without treatment. While opioid withdrawal itself is usually not life-threatening, withdrawal involving alcohol, benzodiazepines, stimulants, or other substances can require coordinated medical care. Our treatment program helps minimize withdrawal symptoms through carefully monitored medication adjustments.

Most patients can continue working and maintaining their normal daily routines while beginning treatment. If residential or coordinated medical care is necessary, temporary time away from work may be recommended. Our clinic hours are designed to accommodate the schedules of working patients whenever possible.

C.O.R.E. Medical Clinic accepts several insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, MHN, Anthem, Medicare, Humana, Kaiser Permanente, Optum, Blue Shield of California, Magellan Health, and Western Health Advantage.
