OPIATE TREATMENT

Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder

​

At Harmony Medical Clinic, we provide evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder, including buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex) and naltrexone. During your initial consultation, we'll discuss which medication option is best suited for you or your loved one.

​

Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex, Sublocade, Brixadi)

Buprenorphine helps manage opioid dependence by binding to the brain's opioid receptors. It reduces cravings and prevents withdrawal without creating the "high" associated with opioids. We also offer a convenient, once-a-month extended-release buprenorphine injection to support long-term treatment.

​

Naltrexone (Vivitrol)

Naltrexone works differently by blocking opioid receptors. This prevents opioids like heroin or prescription painkillers from having any effect if they’re used, which helps deter relapse. This is also available in a once-a-month extended-release naltrexone injection.

​

Adolescent Care

We provide comprehensive care for both adults and adolescents struggling with opioid use disorder, ensuring that all ages receive the compassionate and effective treatment they need.

​

Counseling Support

In addition to medications, we recommend counseling to help patients work through the behavioral aspects of addiction. We can help connect you with the right counselor, and support participation in recovery programs like AA/NA or Smart Recovery if desired.
