We provide expert treatment, medication assistance, and counseling for opioid dependents.

Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) is used as a replacement for dangerous opioids, effectively reducing cravings and curbing withdrawal. Medication should only be used in accordance with comprehensive treatment programs managed by clinicians who determine an appropriate Suboxone therapy to prevent patients from building up further opioid resistance.

What is Suboxone?

It is a medication used to treat opioid addiction. It contains buprenorphine and naloxone. WHO estimates that 15 million people suffer from opioid dependence. Suboxone is a partial agonist and occupies the brain opioid receptors without producing drowsiness (‘high’) that heroin produces in people. Suboxone has another ingredient, Naloxone, which is an antagonist that makes it difficult to abuse. Unlike Methadone that can be dispensed from specialized addiction clinics, suboxone can be prescribed from a physician’s office. Suboxone can produce dependence in users, so it’s important that all who take medications remain under professional medical supervision.

What is Heroin?

Heroin is a highly addictive substance processed from morphine-extracted form poppy seeds. It is an opioid-like prescription drug, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, or codeine. All these drugs are used for pain relief. Heroin is an illicit drug usually obtained from the street and has the potential to cause drowsiness, slow heart rate, respiratory depression, and decreased mental function.

Understanding Suboxone: A Safer Step Toward Recovery

Suboxone is a prescription medication made up of two key components: buprenorphine, which eases withdrawal symptoms, and naloxone, which discourages misuse. This medication works by partially activating opioid receptors in the brain—enough to reduce cravings and discomfort, but without the euphoric effects associated with heroin or strong painkillers.

Because of its safety profile, Suboxone is a practical alternative for people looking to avoid the risks of full opioid agonists. It is prescribed by trained clinicians in an office setting and is best used as part of a complete treatment plan that includes behavioral health support.

As part of our commitment to accessible and effective medical treatments in Parkville, MD, we offer Suboxone therapy within a supportive, judgment-free environment designed to help individuals take meaningful steps toward lasting recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I know before starting Suboxone treatment?

Before starting Suboxone, it’s important to be in the early stages of withdrawal—taking it too soon after opioid use can trigger severe withdrawal symptoms. We conduct a clinical assessment to determine the right time to begin treatment and guide you through the process safely.

Will I feel normal while taking Suboxone?

Yes, many people feel more stable and clear-headed once on Suboxone. It doesn’t produce a high, but instead helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms so you can function better in daily life. We monitor your response and make adjustments as needed.

How does Vivitrol actually work in my body?

Vivitrol blocks opioid receptors in the brain, which helps reduce the urge to use opioids or drink alcohol. It doesn’t contain any opioids itself and is administered monthly by one of our trained clinicians after detox is completed.

What are the risks if I stop taking my medication suddenly?

Stopping medication without medical guidance can lead to withdrawal symptoms or increase your risk of relapse. We work closely with you to create a tapering plan if you decide to stop, so your transition is safe and manageable.

Do I still need therapy if I’m on medication?

Yes. Medication is a powerful tool, but it doesn’t address the emotional and behavioral patterns behind addiction. We combine medication with counseling to support healing from all angles—mental, emotional, and physical.

What happens during my first visit for Suboxone or Vivitrol?

During your initial appointment, we review your health history, discuss your goals, and assess your readiness for medication. If everything checks out, we may begin treatment that same day, depending on the medication and clinical judgment.

Can I still relapse while on medication?

It’s possible. Medication reduces the risk, but recovery is a process. If a relapse happens, we don’t judge—we reassess your treatment plan and provide the additional support needed to help you regain stability.
