No. This is a myth born out of misuse of the medicine. When properly prescribed and taken by opioid-dependent individuals, Suboxone does not create a high. Instead it helps these individuals feel normal again, allowing them to replace a life of despair with a life of hope. Our patients get new jobs, regain custody of their children, and mend relationships with their family.

Patients are required to have a diagnosis of Opioid Use Disorder in order to qualify for Suboxone treatment. Once admitted into the program patients are required to maintain sobriety from licit and illicit intoxicating substances. In addition, patients are required to attend 12-step meetings, group psychotherapy, individual psychotherapy, and group medical appointments to further their engagement in recovery and promote success.

Patients should expect intensive and individualized substance use treatment when entering the program. The program requires time and engagement from each patient in regard to treatment in the clinic and recovery based activities outside of treatment.

All insurances are accepted, including Medicaid. The clinic will work with patients without coverage to ensure that treatment is available for everyone who wishes to seek it.

The biggest factor in motivating a loved or friend to start any type of substance use treatment is understanding, patience, and appropriate boundary setting. These approaches will allow for family and friends to maintain open communication without enabling further substance use. It is important to wait for your loved one or friend to be motivated for treatment in order to increase the chances for long lasting change.
