The questions people actually ask.

Suboxone combines buprenorphine and naloxone to reduce opioid cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms as part of a medication-assisted rehabilitation program, without producing the same intensity of euphoric effects as full opioid agonists.

If you're struggling to control opioid use, experiencing withdrawal symptoms between doses, or have tried to cut back on your own without success, medication-assisted treatment may help — regardless of whether your use is recent or long-standing. We evaluate every patient individually during an initial consultation.

Your first visit includes a confidential intake conversation, a physical evaluation, your first monitored dose of Suboxone, and a personalized treatment plan with a follow-up schedule. Most patients feel initial relief from withdrawal symptoms within the first hour or two.

We do not accept insurance. The visit is $200. You may use your insurance to help cover medications and lab testing.

Yes. Your privacy is protected under federal confidentiality laws for substance use treatment (42 CFR Part 2) in addition to standard HIPAA protections. We do not share your treatment information without your written consent.

Treatment length varies by patient. Some patients use Suboxone for a period of months while working toward a tapered discontinuation; others remain on a stable maintenance dose for a longer period as part of their long-term recovery plan. Your treatment plan is reviewed and adjusted with you at regular follow-up visits.

No. When dosed correctly, Suboxone is designed to stabilize you — reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms — without producing a significant high. Most patients are able to return to work, school, and normal daily activities during treatment.

Subutex (buprenorphine without naloxone) may be appropriate for certain patients, including during pregnancy or in specific medical circumstances. We evaluate this during your initial consultation to determine whether Suboxone or Subutex is the better fit for your treatment plan.

We're based in Fayetteville, and the majority of our patients come from throughout Northwest Arkansas — including Springdale, Rogers, Bentonville, Siloam Springs, and the surrounding Northwest Arkansas communities. That said, patients regularly travel well beyond a short commute to be treated here. We've had patients drive in from as far as Missouri, roughly 90 miles because they were looking for a higher standard of care than what was available closer to home. If you're weighing the drive against the quality of treatment, we'd encourage you to reach out. Many patients find that the difference in care is worth the distance.
