What are opioids?

Opioids are a type of drug used for pain management, such as codeine, hydrocodone, and morphine. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, and the illegal drug heroin is a chemical blend of a natural opioid. 

Opioids work by interfering with the transmission of pain signals to your brain and replacing them with happy, relaxed feelings. The problem with opioids is that they are highly addictive and can be fatal if misused. 

What is Suboxone?

Suboxone is a prescription medication used in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder. It contains buprenorphine and naloxone, two powerful medicines that work together to ease your withdrawal symptoms while lowering the risk of misuse.

Buprenorphine activates your body’s opioid receptors (involved in pain, addiction, and pleasure), helping to reduce cravings and curtail withdrawal symptoms. Naloxone reverses and blocks the effects of opioids in your system.

This allows you to stabilize physically so you can prioritize your health, relationships, and daily activities. When taken as prescribed and monitored by the expert team at Primary Care Walk-In Clinic, Suboxone is a safe and effective tool in your recovery toolbox.

Am I a candidate for Suboxone treatment?

You may be a good candidate if you’re dependent on prescription pain medications, heroin, or other opioids and are ready to end your addiction. During your consultation, your provider will complete a comprehensive medical evaluation, review your substance use history, and determine whether suboxone can benefit you. 

If you’re experiencing withdrawal symptoms, your doctor may begin the induction phase of Suboxone therapy that same day. You’ll leave the clinic with clear instructions and an appointment for a follow-up visit within the next few days. 

As a primary care clinic, the team also assesses your overall health to help address other co-occurring medical concerns, such as hypertension, diabetes, or infections, and to start treatment. The Primary Care Walk-In Clinic team understands that recovery works best from a whole health perspective and seeks to treat you holistically.
