Being a Partial Opioid receptor agonist prevents debilitating withdrawals and cravings.This prevents relapse early in recovery, offering the ability for patients to stabilize and begin to work on the underlying causes of addiction.
Like any medication, buprenorphine may cause some side effects during treatment. though these are relatively rare.
Common side effects include:
1. Constipation Headache, Dry mouth, Insomnia, nausea
Other rare but more serious side effects to be aware of include:
1. Respiratory suppression
2. Overdose if taken in excess or with other sedating medications
3. Withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation
4. Precipitated opioid withdrawal , if taken when other opioids are present in the system
This varies between patients but usually will last for 6-8 months. Patients who discontinue Suboxone early are more at risk of a relapse than patients who continue for longer and taper the medication to off slowly but steadily.
Buprenorphine is safer, treats withdrawals more quickly, is easier to taper and get off and has less of a Social Stigma than Methadone.
Doctor visits for Buprenorphine can be done Online ( you don't have to go to the doctor's office for either the visit or for drug tests which can be done from your home) whereas you have to go to the Methadone clinic each day.
Because those receptors are not fully engaged, buprenorphine has a “ceiling effect”. -- a point where the medication reaches its limit in its ability to be used to achieve a “high” or euphoric effect.
Since it is a partial opioid agonist,it does not activate the opioid receptors in the brain to the same extent as a full agonist such as methadone and can help only on a limited basis to treat chronic pain
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that blocks the opioid receptors.When combined with buprenorphine acts as a deterrent to misuse. If injected, the naloxone causes an immediate state of acute withdrawal, preventing intravenous misuse of the medication. Additionally, the naloxone prevents the effects of other illicit opioids if they are taken while a patient is taking SUBOXONE.It cannot give you a High because it has a “ceiling effect”-- a point where the medication reaches its limit in its ability to be used to achieve a “high” or euphoric effect.
Kratom produces euphoric effects similar to opioids, but it is not actually an opioid.
Because of this effect people who use opiates may be able to substitute them with Kratom and may be led to believe that Kratom has helped them to "get off" Opiates.
Kratom is not currently illegal in USA & it's use is not recommended. It can be “addictive” and people who use it can develop dependence on it. They can develop cravings and withdrawals after discontinuing use.
Suboxone is a partial opioid agonist and can help patients get off Kratom.
These medications may have interactions with Suboxone and if taken together may increase the likelihood of drowsiness, Serotonin syndrome, Respiratory depression, Overdose and death. These should be taken carefully under the supervision of a doctor.
You have to be in mild to moderate withdrawal before induction with Suboxone. Otherwise, it may cause a Precipitated Withdrawal which is very uncomfortable and at times, life threatening. This can be avoided by stopping all opioids like Heroin, Oxycodone, Morphine , Fentanyl at least 12 hours
( 48 -72 hours for Methadone ) before starting on Suboxone.
We can prescribe medications like Benadryl, Atarax, Clonidine etc to lessen withdrawal symptoms
You are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act which states that employers cannot discriminate against or fire people if you are taking Suboxone that is being prescribed by a doctor.
You should make sure you are not drowsy while working, driving or operating any machinery and take the medication only as prescribed by your doctor.
Opioids can cause a lot of harm to the baby.Some doctors use Subutex instead of Suboxone during pregnancy because Naloxone was thought to be teratogenic.to be very safe during pregnancy, and most doctors support continuing Suboxone therapy during pregnancy for women with a history of OUD.
> Patients often wait days to weeks for an in-person visit
> Lots of time lost in transportation to and from the clinic

Online Suboxone doctors offer an easier, more convenient, and more discreet way to get the care you need for opioid use disorder. Here are just some of the benefits of online Suboxone clinics:
1.
Quick Treatment
You could wait for weeks or even months to get an in-person appointment at a clinic. With our telehealth services, you can meet with a medical provider incredibly quickly. You’ll sync on a phone or video call via our mobile app.
2.
Convenience
You have easy access to your medical providers with virtual services. If you meet in person, you lose a lot of time in transit to and from clinic visits. You also spent a lot of time in waiting rooms with in-person appointments. This doesn’t happen with virtual services.
3.
Privacy
When you opt for Suboxone treatment via online clinics, you enjoy an added level of privacy and confidentiality. You don’t have to worry about people seeing you traveling to or from treatment or in the waiting room. You simply log on at home.
4.
Top Doctors
Some of the nation’s top doctors offer treatment via our online telehealth services. The virtual aspect of care allows them greater reach in treating patients from all over.
5.
Flexibility
You have a greater ability to customize your treatment schedule when you opt for virtual Suboxone treatment. Since you can more easily fit appointments into your schedule with virtual services, you’re more likely to stick with treatment.
6.
Lower Cost
In-person Suboxone clinics have a lot of overhead to cover. Since this isn’t the case with telehealth services, treatment prices are often significantly lower.
7.
Insurance Coverage
With in-person treatment, you have to worry about finding an in-network provider that accepts your health insurance. But online Suboxone doctors accept most insurance providers, including private insurance companies like Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Medicaid and Medicare. This ensures that you get the help you need in a quick, affordable and timely manner.
8.
Robust Support
You can participate in online support groups from the comfort of your own home. When your support network is easy to access, you’re more likely to use it, and this will increase your chances of sustained recovery.
Buprenorphine is not a part of the standard drug screen. For someone to know if you are taking it
must be specifically ordered. If you’re prescribed buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) by a medical provider, then you have legal protections from employment discrimination.
Our Providers can provide you an official letter explaining you have a prescription for buprenorphine, without breaking patient confidentiality.
Yes. We will mail you a drug test kit (urine cups or oral swabs). Testing is done randomly and may not be done at each Televisit.
You will be able to show the sample collected ( your urine sample in a drug test cup that you have collected just before you start your visit or you will be asked to do a oral swab) during the visit.
Your provider will be able to see the results and discuss them with you during the visit itself. The results will be then uploaded to your Chart.
Drug tests help to keep patients accountable and tell us what they are doing in their recovery. If your drug tests shows substances that are not part of your treatment plan, then it’s between you and your medical provider to engage in shared decision-making to decide what additional supports you might need ( like more frequent monitoring, Therapy, Support Groups, referral to a more Intensive treatment program etc.) to reach the treatment goals you have jointly agreed upon.
While methadone is the preferred treatment during pregnancy, buprenorphine can be safely taken during pregnancy when carefully monitored by a medical provider. It is far safer then detoxing or continuing to use opioids illicitly and does not cause any fetal abnormalities. Buprenorphine with naloxone should be avoided as there is not currently information about the safely of naloxone on unborn children.
A proper dose of buprenorphine or Suboxone® varies for each person, but typically begins more aggressively than with methadone because of the ceiling effect. A therapeutic dose has been reached when the patient no longer experiences withdrawal symptoms and is also not experiencing euphoria.
If deemed necessary, we combine Suboxone treatment with behavioral health online support groups and referral to Tele counselors or psychologists
It does not cause the above problems.
It may cause nausea,constipation,headache although these are relatively rare
This varies between patients but usually will last for 6-8 months. Patients who discontinue Suboxone early are more at risk of a relapse than patients who continue for longer.

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, which can be used on a limited basis to treat chronic pain, but whose primary purpose is the treatment of opioid addiction. Partial agonists do not activate the opioid receptors in the brain to the same extent as a full agonist such as methadone. This is the primary difference between the two medications. Because those receptors are not fully engaged, buprenorphine.
Because those receptors are not fully engaged, buprenorphine has a “ceiling effect”. A ceiling effect is the point where the medication reaches its limit in its ability to be used to achieve a “high” or euphoric effect.
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that blocks the opioid receptors. Used independently, Naloxone (Narcan) is used to reverse opioid overdose. When combined with buprenorphine it acts as a deterrent to misuse. If taken as prescribed there is no opioid effect. If injected, the naloxone causes the user to go into an immediate state of acute withdrawal, preventing intravenous misuse of the medication. Additionally, the naloxone prevents the effects of other illicit opioids if they are taken while a patient is taking SUBOXONE
