Opioid Agonist Treatment

Safe. Proven. Effective.

Opioid agonist therapy is for those with opioid use disorder. Using prescribed opioid agonist medications, this course of treatment addresses dependence and supports long-term recovery.

Therapies Offered

To ensure we’re able to address the needs of every patient, we offer three different types of opioid agonist therapies: Suboxone, Spravato, and ketamine.

Suboxone

An FDA-approved medication, Suboxone is a dissolving film or tablet that combines buprenorphine and naloxone.

Suboxone therapy is typically recommended as the starting place for those seeking treatment for opioid addiction. That’s because it’s a partial opioid agonist, which means side effects are fewer and more mild. There’s also a lower risk of it negatively interacting with other drugs or medications.

Spravato

Spravato is also an FDA-approved prescription medication, and it’s typically used to help relieve symptoms associated with opioid use disorder, like depression. Spravato is the brand name; you may also see it called esketamine, as it’s made from ketamine, which we also offer.

Ketamine

Ketamine infusions can also help in the fight against opioid addiction and are generally used to improve mood and brighten the outlook on life.

What Are the Benefits?

Opioid agonist therapies:

• Ease withdrawals
• Reduce cravings
• Support long-term recovery

And research shows that when combined with other therapies, 75% of patients will still be in recovery one year later.
