“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.”

Our clinic specializes in Medication Assisted Treatment using Suboxone therapy. This medication, when combined with counseling and a supportive social structure, has been shown in clinical studies to be highly effective in treating opioid use disorder. In one study reported by the National Institutes for Health, researchers followed 154 patients who either used Suboxone, just counseling, or used “detox” programs. These were their results:

“We saw a marked reduction in opioid and other drug use; less injecting behavior, and better treatment retention in the patients assigned to longer-term Suboxone treatment,” says principal investigator George Woody, M.D., of the University of Pennsylvania and Treatment Research Institute, and VA Medical Center in Philadelphia.

“Extended use of Suboxone appeared to effectively control study participants’ symptoms of opioid withdrawal,” says co-investigator Geetha Subramaniam, M.D., of Johns Hopkins University, who oversaw patients enrolled in the study at a substance abuse treatment clinic in Baltimore. “The teens and young adults readily accepted Suboxone and tolerated it well. They seldom complained about sedation [a side effect of methadone and other medications for opioid dependence] and were pleased that they remained alert and could function during the day.”
