What is Suboxone?

Suboxone is a prescription medicine for opioid use disorder. It contains buprenorphine, which settles on the same spots in the brain as other opioids, but in a steady, controlled way. That stops withdrawal and quiets cravings without the high.

It also contains naloxone, which discourages misuse. Taken as prescribed, you mostly will not notice it. That is part of why Suboxone can be prescribed at a regular office visit and taken at home.

Buprenorphine is one of the most effective treatments for opioid addiction. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, medicine for opioid use disorder lowers overdose deaths and helps people stay in recovery longer.

Taking medicine for opioid addiction is treatment. It is not trading one addiction for another.

A daily film, or a shot

Recovery looks different for everyone. You and your provider pick the form that fits your life.

Daily film or tablet
Suboxone or Subutex, taken under the tongue once a day at home. We adjust your dose at follow-up visits until the cravings and withdrawal are under control.

Weekly or monthly shot
Sublocade or Brixadi, given by a provider in our office. No daily dose to remember, and no medicine at home that can get lost or taken.

How Suboxone treatment works

01

A first visit

We talk about what you use, how much, and your health, and make sure Suboxone is a good fit for you.

02

Your first dose

You start once mild withdrawal has begun, so the medicine eases it instead of causing it. We walk you through exactly when and how.

03

Finding your dose

We check in often in the first weeks and adjust the dose until the cravings and withdrawal are gone.

04

Staying well

Regular visits with the same provider, plus counseling or support groups if you want them. You stay on it as long as it helps.

You deserve recovery.

Buprenorphine saves lives and gives people their lives back. We will not judge you, and what you tell us stays private.

What Suboxone helps with

Cravings

Buprenorphine fills the same brain receptors that crave opioids, so the constant pull to use quiets down and you can think about other things again.

Steady, all-day relief

Withdrawal

A steady dose keeps withdrawal away, so you are not planning your whole day around staying well.

No more feeling sick

Overdose risk

Buprenorphine blunts the effect of other opioids, which lowers the risk of a deadly overdose while you get your life back on track.
