We have a range of treatment options for achieving and maintaining remission from addictive behaviors and/or substance use.
We may prescribe Suboxone (buprenorphine), Vivitrol (naltrexone), or other medications if indicated. Or, if you prefer a non-medicinal approach, we can provide counseling and/or urine drug screens without medication.
Appointments for management of Suboxone include review of random urine drug screens. At the start of treatment, follow-up appointments are required weekly. After 4 consecutive weeks of stable drug screens, appointments are typically extended to biweekly. After 8 weeks of continued stability, appointments are typically extended to monthly and remain so while stability continues.
Drug screens are repeated periodically while receiving treatment. Depending on location, it may be possible for a lab representative to visit your home to collect urine samples, or you may need to visit a laboratory nearby.
We must receive drug screening results by the due dates specified in your care plan before refilling medications. To minimize the possibility of running out of medication, we recommend promptly submitting drug screens and booking follow-up care, at least 3-4 weekdays in advance of your requested refill date.
