Understanding Buprenorphine Addiction Treatment
Buprenorphine is an FDA-approved prescription opioid medication. It is used to treat opioid addiction and acts as a partial opioid agonist, activating the body's opioid receptors. It produces weaker effects than opioids, making it easier to resist cravings and overcome withdrawal symptoms over time. When combined with an evidence-based, therapeutic addiction treatment and recovery program, clients can find success in lowering addiction behaviors and overdose risk. Utilizing buprenorphine in addiction recovery can be a life-saving foothold on your path to recovery.

How Buprenorphine Treatment Is Administered
Buprenorphine can be administered in three ways. The method we recommend will depend on your personal risk level and history of addiction treatment:
- Sublocade – An injectable buprenorphine.
- Suboxone – A buprenorphine and naloxone film.
- Zubsolv – Buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual tablets.
What to Expect From Buprenorphine-Based Withdrawal Care
We follow all FDA-approved buprenorphine treatment protocols to ensure client safety, comfort, and success. Our goals are to help our clients reduce cravings, alleviate withdrawal symptoms, reduce the risk of overdose, and ease into the recovery process. After an initial consultation, during which we will discuss your history, lifestyle, past treatment approaches, concerns, challenges, and level of community and family support, we will design a personalized addiction treatment program. Our buprenorphine addiction treatment process includes three key phases:
- Induction – Buprenorphine is administered while you are in the earliest stages of withdrawal. Administration can lessen withdrawal symptoms and reduce the intensity of cravings. We combine buprenorphine treatment with mental health treatment, including same-day psychiatric care, trauma therapy, a 12-step program, and evidence based counseling to ensure each client receives the level of care needed to support continued success.
- Stabilization – We carefully monitor your symptoms, reactions, vital signs, and overall health to determine the effects of buprenorphine on your recovery. We will adjust and fine-tune your treatment to find the ideal dosage and frequency. During stabilization, your opioid cravings should be significantly reduced.
- Maintenance – This phase involves sustaining your resistance to cravings and withdrawal symptoms so that you are less likely to experience a relapse or risk an overdose. The maintenance phase is combined with therapeutic programs, counseling, and our intensive outpatient recovery treatment program. The length of this treatment process will depend on your results, and can be continuously monitored and adjusted as needed.
Our Holistic Approach to Addiction Recovery
We understand that each of our clients has a wholly unique history, lifestyle, and set of challenges and concerns. We don't use a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to recovery. Instead, we take a holistic approach that emphasizes the value of community, therapeutic interventions, and support. If you are a good candidate for medication-assisted treatment, we will discuss the benefits of buprenorphine treatment combined with therapy and counseling, lifestyle interventions and modifications, and intensive outpatient recovery. Some of the benefits of this approach include:
- Careful coordination of care tailored to your specific needs
- Expert guidance and support as you navigate recovery

- Lesser chance of an overdose
- Lower risk of relapse and improved adherence to your treatment program
