Suboxone Doctors : Where To Find One In Your Area
Finding suboxone doctors that prescribes Suboxone (buprenorphine) does not have to be difficult. The first place to look in the our Suboxone Doctor Directory. This is a very good resource. Be aware that not all physicians will allow their practices to show on this site. They usually do this so they can restrict their Suboxone treatment to their existing patients. They are not wanting a large number of substance dependent individuals in their practice. If your doctor is not listed, make and appointment and ask them if they do treat patients with Subxone. If they don’t, ask them for a list of 2 or 3 physicians they would recommend.
Suboxone Doctors Have Training And Experience With Opioid Dependence
Patients with substance dependence take more time than ordinary patients in a physician’s office. There are drug screens that need to be done, contact with therapists, and continuing evaluation of how the patient is doing in their life. Go to someone who is going to actively monitor you. In my opinion and experience, many physician practices have not equipped their themselves nor have the time to spend with these patients.
The advantage of going to one’s Family Doctor is convenience. Some people would prefer not to have to go to a Psychiatrist or to a substance treatment center because of the stigma. The major disadvantage is the lack of experience dealing with this patient population and lack of in-house resources.
The Ideal Suboxone Doctor
I like to see physicians who can do more than see the patient for a medication checkups. This is not an illness that can be treated by giving a prescription every three months. Inevitably, the patient with relapse. I want to see the physician or their staff capable of contacting the patient, the patient’s family, and sometimes their friends or co-workers. Suboxone treatment requires a certain degree of monitoring, and if this is not done, things tend to go awry.
A major concern is expense. Check around as charges can vary greatly whether you pay with cash or use insurance. Just remember, if you use insurance, they will then know about your condition which many people don’t want.
Finally, it is important that the physician you use has a good relationship with a substance abuse therapist or program. Communication with this therapist or program is vital during treatment. One benefits the most when their suboxone physician is able to support the use of medication and therapy in the treatment of substance use (in this case narcotics) disorders.
