Suboxone saves lives. It is a medication used to treat people who are dependent on opiates and prevents them from overdosing on opiate medications by blocking certain receptors.  

​

Initiation of the medication involves daily to every other day follow up at the start of treatment. Afterwards, weekly sessions may suffice. 

​

Due to the abuse potential of the medication, regular urine drug screens will need to be obtained in order to continue. Also, sobriety from other drugs (including alcohol) is a must.
