SUBOXONE TREATMENTS: CALL NOW TO SCHEDULE.
SUBOXONE Film is approved for use in both induction and maintenance treatment of opioid dependence in appropriate patients.
For dependence on short-acting opioids, like he**in or prescription painkillers, SUBOXONE Film, which contains buprenorphine and naloxone, may be recommended to help you begin and maintain continuity of treatment
When transitioning from dependence on long-acting opioids, like methadone, a buprenorphine-only medication may be recommended
Induction—you begin your treatment (or restart it if you’ve relapsed) under the supervision of a doctor. For your first dose, you must be in a moderate state of withdrawal. You work with your doctor to reach a dose of SUBOXONE Film that works for you.
Maintenance—Your doctor will help you to transition to the maintenance phase of treatment when you:
Are no longer experiencing withdrawal symptoms
Have minimal to no side effects
Do not have uncontrollable cravings
In the maintenance phase, you may be taking your medication regularly as prescribed. You should comply with all of the elements in your treatment plan including responsibly handling the medication, staying free from illicit drug use, and seeking counseling and/or psychosocial support.
Medical taper—The decision to discontinue therapy with SUBOXONE Film after a period of maintenance should be made as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It is important that you work with your doctor to determine when the time is right to slowly lower your dose, taking care to minimize withdrawal symptoms. Throughout treatment, you should discuss any concerns you have about relapse with your doctor.
