Suboxone Treatment Clinic in Columbus, OH

At Addiction Therapy Services, we are committed to providing comprehensive and evidence-based care for individuals struggling with opioid dependence. One of the cornerstone treatments we offer is Suboxone therapy. Suboxone is a prescription medication specifically designed to help people overcome opioid addiction, and it plays a vital role in our outpatient treatment programs.

Suboxone contains two active ingredients: buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, which means it helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the intense high associated with opioid misuse. Naloxone is included to discourage improper use; if Suboxone is injected instead of taken as directed under the tongue, naloxone can induce withdrawal symptoms, thereby helping to prevent misuse of the medication.

At Addiction Therapy Services, Suboxone is integrated into a broader, personalized treatment plan that also includes counseling and behavioral therapies. Our team of experienced addiction specialists works closely with each patient to stabilize brain chemistry disrupted by opioid use and support long-term recovery. By reducing cravings and minimizing withdrawal symptoms, Suboxone allows our patients to focus on the underlying factors contributing to addiction and to build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Our outpatient Suboxone program is designed for safety, flexibility, and ongoing support, increasing the likelihood of successful recovery while allowing our patients to continue meeting their daily responsibilities. If you or a loved one is struggling with opioid addiction, Addiction Therapy Services can help provide the medical and emotional support needed for lasting change.

At Addiction Therapy Services, we provide safe, effective Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) treatment as part of our comprehensive approach to opioid addiction recovery in Columbus, OH. Our experienced addiction specialists guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you receive individualized care and support.

What to Expect with Suboxone Treatment at Addiction Therapy Services:

• Initial Assessment:
Your recovery journey begins with a confidential evaluation by one of our licensed providers. We review your medical history, assess your opioid use, and determine if Suboxone is the right fit for your needs.

• Personalized Treatment Planning:
We work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan. Before starting Suboxone, you’ll receive clear instructions about how to safely transition into treatment, including when to stop other opioids and when to begin your first Suboxone dose. Our team ensures you are in mild to moderate withdrawal before induction to avoid precipitated withdrawal symptoms.

• Medically Supervised Induction:
On your induction day, you’ll start Suboxone under the careful supervision of our clinical staff—either in our office or with detailed guidance for at-home initiation. We aim to identify the lowest effective dose that manages your withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

• Ongoing Support and Monitoring:
After stabilization, you will have regular follow-up appointments at Addiction Therapy Services. Our providers monitor your progress, adjust your dosage if needed, and address any questions or side effects that may arise.

• Integrated Counseling and Therapy:
Medication alone is not enough for long-term recovery. That’s why we incorporate counseling and behavioral therapy into your treatment plan. Our team offers therapy to help you build healthy coping skills and address the root causes of addiction.

If you are seeking a prescription for Suboxone—a medication commonly used to treat opioid use disorder—Addiction Therapy Services is here to help. Our medical providers are authorized and experienced in prescribing Suboxone and guiding patients through every step of recovery.

Getting Started with Suboxone at Addiction Therapy Services

Your journey begins by contacting our office to schedule an initial assessment. During your first visit, one of our specialized providers will review your medical and substance use history, discuss your current symptoms, and may perform a physical examination or order laboratory tests. This comprehensive evaluation helps us determine if Suboxone is the right medication for your needs.

If Suboxone is appropriate for you, we will explain how the medication works, its benefits and potential risks, and create a personalized treatment plan. This plan typically integrates Suboxone with counseling services we offer right here at Addiction Therapy Services for a holistic approach to recovery.

What to Expect During Suboxone Initiation

Initiation of Suboxone treatment is carefully managed by our team. We usually begin treatment when you are experiencing mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms, as starting too soon after opioid use can lead to precipitated withdrawal. Our providers will give you clear instructions on when and how to take your first dose, and we closely monitor your progress to ensure your safety and comfort.

Ongoing Care and Support

At Addiction Therapy Services, ongoing support is a key part of our program. You will have regular follow-up appointments with your provider to monitor your progress, adjust your medication if needed, and offer continued counseling and support. Our goal is to provide you with the tools and care you need for lasting recovery.

At Addiction Therapy Services, we understand that every individual’s journey to recovery is unique. The length of time you’ll need to take Suboxone—a medication combining buprenorphine and naloxone—depends on your personal circumstances and recovery goals. Suboxone is a vital tool in managing opioid use disorder, as it helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, allowing you to focus on the therapeutic aspects of recovery.

Some clients at Addiction Therapy Services may use Suboxone for just a few months during the early stages of treatment, as a short-term aid to help stabilize their lives. Others may benefit from longer-term maintenance, using Suboxone for a year or more—especially if they are at higher risk for relapse or have struggled with repeated opioid use in the past.

Our experienced team will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan. We will regularly assess your progress and readiness to adjust your medication based on your history of opioid use, your response to Suboxone, your stability in recovery, and your personal preferences.

It is crucial not to stop taking Suboxone suddenly or without medical guidance, as this can trigger withdrawal symptoms and increase your risk of relapse. If you’re considering changing your Suboxone dose or stopping the medication, your Addiction Therapy Services provider will help you develop a safe and effective tapering strategy.

Your recovery is our top priority. We’re here to support you every step of the way—providing comprehensive care, ongoing assessment, and expert guidance to help you achieve your goals.
