No, Suboxone® is an FDA-approved medication that quiets cravings and steadies your body so you can focus on recovery. You do not feel high or intoxicated on a stable dose. Decades of research support medication treatment for opioid use disorder.

Induction is your first dose. You complete an intake and a Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) assessment. Once you are clearly in withdrawal, your medical provider gives your first Suboxone® film and watches how you respond. Plan on about three hours for that first visit.

You should visit often at first so that you and your medical provider can find the right dose. After your medication becomes steady, you can earn take-home doses and your visits become less frequent over time.

Suboxone® has a built-in ceiling that limits misuse, and you can earn take-home doses. Methadone is taken at the clinic each day and can work better if your tolerance is high. Your medical provider helps you choose at intake.

As part of treatment, our Arlington clinic uses point-of-care drug testing to confirm that buprenorphine-naloxone is being taken as prescribed. That information is part of your medication record. If you want it shared with a referral source, we can release it on your written request and with a valid release of information on file.

Buprenorphine-based medications, including Suboxone®, are considered appropriate treatment options for opioid use disorder during pregnancy. Continuing treatment matters, because untreated opioid use disorder carries serious risks for both mother and baby. Our medical providers coordinate with your OB-GYN.

Suboxone® eases cravings and withdrawal. The patterns and triggers behind drug use need a different kind of support. Counseling is part of every treatment plan, and you can add a virtual IOP without changing clinics.

The most common side effects are constipation, headache, sweating, and mild nausea, especially in the first few weeks as your dose adjusts. Less common are trouble sleeping and dental issues over time, which regular dental visits help prevent. Tell your medical provider about anything new.
