How hard is it to get prescribed Suboxone?
It starts with one phone call. Our enrollment coordinator checks that we meet your treatment needs. Then we schedule your first visit. At that visit a provider examines you and builds a plan around your health history and goals. If Suboxone is right for you, you start induction. You get comfort medicines to ease withdrawal.

Can chronic pain lead to opioid addiction?
Often, it is exactly where addiction starts. More than 30% of Americans live with some form of acute or chronic pain. And more than 57% of patients with opiate addiction started using opiates because of chronic pain. So a pain management rehab program has to treat the dependence. It also has to respect the pain that opened the door to it.
