Outpatient Suboxone program

By: | Tags: | Comments: 0 | February 28th, 2024

We offer an outpatient Suboxone program. Sometimes referred to as office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) programs, OBOTs offer a different level of care than a structured opioid treatment program (OTP), operating similarly to a physician’s office. Medication-assisted treatment forms the basis of an OBOT program with more flexible scheduling available. OBOTs utilize buprenorphine and buprenorphine compounds, approved by the FDA in the early 2000s for the treatment of opioid addiction. Unlike methadone, which can only be dispensed through a structured OTP, buprenorphine is prescribed by a medical provider and filled through the patient’s preferred pharmacy. The ability to obtain the medication through a pharmacy means fewer visits to the treatment center for the patient.
