Looking for a Suboxone Doctor Near Greenland, Arkansas? Here Is What to Know
Greenland is a small town. The 2020 census counted 1,213 people there. When you live in a place that size, looking for help with opioids can feel very public. You may know the pharmacist, the person at the gas station and half the parents at Greenland High School.
I understand that. So I want to explain plainly what Suboxone treatment looks like for someone in Greenland, what it costs, and how private it is.
Where my office is, and how close it is to Greenland
Greenland sits immediately south of Fayetteville. Interstate 49 runs along its western edge and U.S. Highway 71 runs through the middle of town, with Drake Field on its east side.
My office is at 102 E Sunbridge Dr, Suite 3, in Fayetteville, AR 72703. For most people in Greenland, that is a straight drive north on I-49 or US 71. You do not need to go to Little Rock, Tulsa or out of state for treatment.
I see patients from all over Washington County and the surrounding area. You can read more on my page about Suboxone treatment for Northwest Arkansas.
What I do, and what I do not do
I am a medical doctor, and I treat opioid use disorder with buprenorphine. That is the main medicine in Suboxone. This is outpatient care. You come in, see me, and go home.
Here is what that means in practice:
- You see me every time. Not a different provider each visit. The same doctor who started your treatment is the one who adjusts it.
- Your first dose is taken in person. I want to be there when you start, so we can do it safely and comfortably.
- I answer my own phone. Day or night, weekends and holidays. If something feels wrong at 2 in the morning, you are not calling an answering service.
I want to be clear about what I do not offer. I do not run an inpatient detox unit or a residential rehab, and I do not dispense methadone. If you need one of those, I will tell you honestly and help you think about where to turn.
For most people with opioid use disorder, though, medication is the part that matters most. The CDC says detox by itself, without medication afterward, is not recommended. The National Institute on Drug Abuse says people treated with medications such as buprenorphine are less likely to die and less likely to overdose.
What it costs, without insurance
I keep the pricing simple. I do not bill insurance.
- A scheduled visit is $200, paid at the appointment.
- After-hours visits are available on request. I quote the extra fee before you leave the house.
The medicine itself is filled at a pharmacy, and you can often use your insurance there. My page on what treatment costs goes through the details.
Some people choose to pay for visits out of pocket because it keeps their treatment between them and their doctor. That brings me to privacy.
How private it is
In a town the size of Greenland, privacy is often the first worry. Your treatment records here are protected by HIPAA and by a stricter federal rule for substance use treatment, 42 CFR Part 2. In general, that rule limits how your records can be shared. HHS notes that under Part 2, your treatment records cannot be used to investigate or prosecute you without your written consent or a court order.
Coming to an office in Fayetteville also means you are not walking into a building in your own town. Nobody needs to know where you are going unless you choose to tell them.
Why now matters in Washington County
The newest CDC county data show 16 Washington County residents died of a drug overdose in the 12 months ending March 2026. That is far fewer than at the peak, but the decline has leveled off. I wrote about that in my article on overdose deaths in Washington and Benton counties.
There is also a federal change this week. The DEA's order placing 7-OH in Schedule I can take effect on or after November 13, 2026. Arkansas has treated 7-OH as a Schedule I drug since 2015, but people still buy it across state lines and online. When a supply dries up, some people go into withdrawal and turn to street pills, which may contain fentanyl.
If you are using fentanyl, 7-OH or pills now, timing your first dose matters. My article on starting Suboxone after fentanyl explains how we avoid precipitated withdrawal.
If you are pregnant, please do not stop opioids suddenly on your own. Read whether you can take Suboxone while pregnant and call me first.
Call me to make an appointment
You do not need to have everything figured out. You can even call to ask questions about someone else, like a son, daughter or spouse.
My page on what the first visit looks like walks through what to expect. When you are ready, call me at 479-856-1505 to make an appointment. I will answer.
If someone is very hard to wake, breathing slowly, or has blue or gray lips, call 911 now and give naloxone if you have it. If you or someone you love is thinking about suicide or is in emotional crisis, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
