Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT)
We provide safe medication to help you heal and guide you on how to use it.
Buprenorphine therapy works best when the patient has already begun to experience withdrawal symptoms following detoxification. At this stage, the opioids have left the opioid receptors – which is the perfect time for the buprenorphine from Suboxone to bind to them, essentially replacing the opioid with a neutralizing agent.
The result? A great improvement of the patient’s withdrawal symptoms, along with suppression of cravings. Plus, if the patient does end up relapsing and taking the addictive heroin or prescription painkillers, the Suboxone acts to weaken its effects – thereby making the drug less palatable to the user. By taking the dosage as prescribed or given by your doctor, the Suboxone will keep the opioid receptors filled up and occupied. This leaves no room for other opioids to produce the desired maximum effects.

Stopping Your Addiction
To Opioids
Buprenorphine therapy may be the help you need to finally quit your addiction to opioids. It is important not to take or ingest certain other chemicals while you are taking Suboxone, including sedatives, tranquilizers, benzodiazepines, or alcohol.
The result? Common side effects associated with Suboxone therapy include slowed breathing, darker urine, dizziness, paleness or jaundice, and loss of appetite. If you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms, you should let your healthcare provider know so he or she can adjust the dosage or make other modifications in your treatment.
