Why Suboxone?

We offer Suboxone treatment to our patients for opioid use disorder. In conjunction with our medication review, counseling, and drug testing services, buprenorphine can serve as a life-saving measure in the treatment of opioid use disorder.

How does it work?

Suboxone is often combined with naloxone to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while the naloxone blocks the effects of opioid drugs if someone attempts to misuse the medication. This combination helps reduce withdrawal symptoms while also providing protection against relapse.

How quickly does it work?

Suboxone takes effect within 15 minutes. While patients generally experience improvement the first time they take Suboxone, it usually takes about two weeks to completely eliminate opioid cravings.

Why Naltrexone?

We offer naltrexone treatment together with medication review, counseling, and drug testing services to treat patients struggling with alcohol use disorder.  Naltrexone has become more prevalent as an effective means to treat problem drinking. 

How does it work?

Naltrexone blocks the endorphin rush from drinking alcohol, which helps to "rewire" the brain to think differently about alcohol. Together with counseling and random drug and alcohol testing, naltrexone can help individuals cease alcohol use and maintain recovery over the long-term.

How quickly does it work?

Naltrexone takes about one to two hours to take effect. While patients generally experience improvement the first time they take naltrexone, it usually takes about a month for medication to completely eliminate alcohol cravings.
