MedplexMD offers Suboxone to treat patients with addictions to pain killers or other opiates. Detoxing with Suboxone eases the discomfort of withdrawal, making it fast and bearable. Our caring doctors and staff will do all that we can to ensure that you have the best possible care and a successful recovery.

The Process of Suboxone Detox:

• Office Consultation
  
  During your consultation you will discuss whether Suboxone is right for you and expectations from both the patient and from Suboxone.
  


• Induction Period
  
  A RX is written and can be taken to your pharmacy of choice.


• Maintenance Treatment
  
  Maintenance treatment involves routine visits to ensure the correct dosage is being taken. Drug tests may be administered to ensure proper adherence to the program. In addition, a phone number will be provided for a 24-hour help line that is free for the first three months of treatment. We are now offering a Faith Based Counceling Program.


• Controlled Medical Withdrawal
  
  Following the maintenance treatment, the doctor will decide the appropriate time for the dose of Suboxone you are taking to be tapered.
