Frequently Asked Questions

We can help you transition from Methadone to Suboxone, just as long as you are currently on 40mg or less of Methadone. If you are currently taking more than that, we would need to wait until your dose is less than 40mg to start your treatment. It is dangerous to switch from a high dose of Methadone to Suboxone, because there is too much of a difference in dosages. The side effects can be dangerous. Contact us when you are ready to make the switch!
Opioid withdrawal symptoms are uncomfortable, but there are opioid withdrawal treatments your medical provider can prescribe to help relieve these symptoms. Clonidine helps reduce anxiety, irritability, muscle aches, sweating, and runny nose, and hydroxyzine (Atarax) can also help with anxiety and insomnia. Tizanidine (Zanaflex) helps reduce muscle spasms. Ondansetron (Zofran) relieves symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Loperamide (Imodium) helps relieve diarrhea. Bentyl helps relieve gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, especially abdominal cramping. And lastly, once you start the induction and stabilization phase with buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), you will experience significant reduction and relief from withdrawal symptoms.
The medications used for opioid addiction treatment include Methadone and Buprenorphine. Their effect on the brain is similar to that of other opioids. However, intake of prescribed doses can reduce the risk of developing any addiction.

This is not a quick fix. It really depends on how long you’ve been using opioids for and how much you use. How well you personally respond to treatment can make a big difference as well, so it really is hard to predict beforehand and varies patient to patient. The recovery process takes time, but we will be here to help you through every part of the process no matter how long it takes! Luckily, Suboxone will curb your cravings and won’t leave you feeling foggy, so you can function very well while on the medication. In short, the process will likely be long, but worth it.
The term “medication-assisted treatment” refers to the use of medicine in combination with counseling and other forms of support to treat opioid addiction. Methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone are the three main drugs available to treat opioid addiction.
