Program Overview
The BioCorRx® Recovery Program is a
comprehensive two-part outpatient
“non-addictive” medication-assisted
treatment (MAT) for alcohol and opioid
addictions. These two parts include:
1) A naltrexone implant
2) Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) based,
solution-oriented counseling, plus 12 months
of remote recovery support specialist (RSS)
care *
With CBT typically completed within 90 days,
the program blends within the framework of
one’s everyday life, in conjunction with 12
months of discreet peer-support (RSS) after
care. This cutting-edge, proven, and
effective treatment modality is available to
consumers via select independent
practitioners.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
According to the National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) part of
the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Service (HHS) and their 2006 ‘COMBINE’ study
– (Combining Medications and Behavioral
Interventions for Alcoholism) – the best
outcomes in naltrexone therapy are a result
of receiving naltrexone along with
outpatient behavioral-modification
counseling.
The BioCorRx® Recovery Program, in
compliance with NIAAA and HHS guidelines,
has expanded on this cutting-edge concept.
The comprehensive BioCorRx® Recovery Program
blends aggressive medical management in the
form of a minimally invasive procedure,
involving the subcutaneous insertion of
specially compounded implants (pellets)
which contain the FDA approved medication
naltrexone, combined with customized,
structured, and focused one-on-one
medication-assisted treatment counseling
sessions, specific to naltrexone treatment.
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist that
removes the “pleasure feelings” in the brain
that respond to opioids and alcohol when
consumed. Once implanted just beneath the
skin in the lower abdominal area, the
completely biodegradable naltrexone implant
slowly releases the drug into the body over
several months and eliminates or
significantly reduces the cravings for drugs
and alcohol in most people. It can also
block the effects of some drugs. Program
participants have reported minimal to no
physical discomfort during the procedure.
The procedure requires only local anesthetic
and typically takes less than 20-30 minutes
to perform.
More importantly, within hours of receiving
the naltrexone implant, participants have
reported feeling complete freedom from drug
and alcohol cravings. Many have reported
returning to work the same day.
Depending on the treating physician,
participants may typically return weekly for
5-6 weeks for follow-up well checks/incision
inspection. Some consumers may require
longer term medical care depending on
individual situations.
Next, BioCorRx® developed a multi-session
counselling program identifying 35 key areas
essential to early treatment in Substance
Use Disorders. Delivered through
comprehensive modules, these 35 key concepts
include specific instructions which address
often unidentified key components essential
to behavioral change in Substance Use
Disorders. Written by addiction experts with
decades of combined experience, the program
is specifically for use with those being
treating with sustained released naltrexone.
Credentialed addiction counselors meet
certain criteria before they are trained and
certified in the BioCorRx® Counseling
Program. Participants generally complete the
counselling modules within 90 days of
receiving the implant.
Additionally, BioCorRx® has expanded the
support structure to include 12 months of a
peer-support system utilizing trained
recovery specialists usually matched to the
consumer based on age, gender, etc.
Typically, soon after the counseling modules
begin, the patient is ready to enter the
Recovery Support Specialist (RSS) portion of
the program. This support segment, when
implemented, includes very convenient weekly
or bi-monthly interaction via telephone for
over 12 months. In most cases, there is a
period of overlap with counseling and RSS
care occurring simultaneously.
This combined approach results in a
comprehensive recovery program designed to
pro-actively support the recovering
individual’s journey for around 13 months
(assuming completion of aftercare program).
How is the BioCorRx® Recovery
Program different?
- Unlike most traditional recovery
programs which invest the first 30-90
treatment days in assisting a patient to
deal with the physical cravings of
addiction, BioCorRx® Program
participants are typically absent the
physical cravings on day one, and thus
can focus clearly without distraction on
the information, concepts, change, and
education presented in the counseling
program to learn and implement
unrealized coping strategies and healthy
behaviors.
- The implant used in the BioCorRx®
Program tends to last longer than others
available in the U.S. as evidenced by
clinical outcomes (time lengths vary
depending on the individual).
- Other naltrexone implant providers
tend to simply perform the procedure and
do not include a structured naltrexone
early-recovery focused counseling
program. Those that do include programs,
tend to offer life coaching only
referring patients to outside centers
with no continuity of care or follow-up.
- No other recovery program of which
we are aware provide MAT counseling
modules specific to the naltrexone
therapy and 12 months of peer support
and tracking post-implant procedure.
What to expect at most centers after
deciding to be a program
participant:
- Screening for medical clearance,
dual diagnosis, appropriateness (One
must be detoxed prior to receiving
implant).
- History/physical, blood work, EKG,
etc.
- Receive one pre-implant counseling
session. *
- Receive implant (typically one may
need to use a half of a day to go
through process)
- Receive counselling over course of
next 90 days or less. *
- Follow up with medical practitioner
as directed for suture removal/well
checks
- Begin RSS (peer support) usually
within the first month post-implant. **
A
Company That Changes Lives
BioCorRx® https://www.biocorrx.com/ is
a leading edge healthcare solutions company focused on improving the
lives of those struggling with alcohol and opioid addiction.
Designed to treat alcoholism and certain opioid addictions, the
BioCorRx® Recovery Program is used by a network of independently
owned and operated treatment centers located throughout the United
States. The program consists of a proprietary long-lasting implant
of the FDA approved medication, naltrexone, which is proven to
substantially reduce cravings for drugs and alcohol. It's a
high-quality, comprehensive and cost- effective recovery program
built on a strong foundation of experience and practice, allowing
for an improved quality of life for recovering addicts.
What Makes the BioCorRx® Recovery
Program Different?
Our innovative, non-addictive, medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
program, uses a two-pronged approach that addresses the underlying
physical and behavioral issues of alcohol and opioid addiction.
Studies have shown that long-term success is more likely when
intensive counseling is paired with specific medications such as
Naltrexone, that reduce the urge to use.
Our two-pronged approach includes:
A highly effective, proprietary implant formulation of the
FDA-approved medication, naltrexone, for which we hold the worldwide
rights (except in Australia and New Zealand).
A proprietary modular counseling program that is tailored
specifically to help those afflicted with addiction and prepares
them for a life without their desired substance.
This approach of medication plus tailored support typically results
in lower patient drop-out rates due to reduced cravings for a longer
period of time since the medication is delivered automatically. The
program can be done very discreetly on an outpatient basis with
virtually no major disruptions from daily life.
