Suboxone Treatment

Safe, Supportive Recovery
Suboxone Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
Suboxone is a proven medication used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD), combining buprenorphine and naloxone to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while lowering the risk of misuse. At Dr. Amanda Wu’s clinic, Suboxone treatment is more than just medication—it’s part of a holistic recovery approach focused on stability, healing, and long-term success.
Dr. Wu offers a safe, confidential environment where patients can begin or continue Suboxone therapy under medical supervision. Each treatment plan is personalized and may also include behavioral health support, lifestyle coaching, and functional medicine tools to address the root causes of addiction. Whether you're transitioning off short-acting opioids or looking for a long-term maintenance plan, Suboxone offers a bridge to recovery—so you can regain control and move forward with confidence.
Who Benefits from Suboxone Treatment?
Support for Individuals Navigating Opioid Dependence
Suboxone treatment is ideal for individuals who are dependent on opioids such as:
- Prescription painkillers (e.g., oxycodone, hydrocodone)
- Heroin or fentanyl
- Other short-acting opioids
It’s especially helpful for those who have experienced relapse, severe withdrawal symptoms, or difficulty tapering off opioids on their own. Patients who are committed to recovery but need medical support to manage cravings and maintain stability find Suboxone to be a powerful and life-changing tool. Treatment can begin in both early and later stages of recovery and is often used alongside counseling and other support services for best outcomes.

Stability and Safety, Without the High

How is Suboxone taken?
Suboxone is typically taken as a sublingual film or tablet that dissolves under the tongue. Dr. Wu will guide you through induction and dosing to ensure a smooth transition.
Will I feel “high” on Suboxone?
No. When used as prescribed, Suboxone does not produce a euphoric high. It’s designed to help you feel stable and functional, not intoxicated.
Can I start Suboxone treatment right away?
In many cases, yes. You’ll need to be in mild to moderate withdrawal before your first dose to avoid precipitated withdrawal. Dr. Wu will assess your readiness and guide you through the process safely.
How long will I need to be on Suboxone?
Treatment duration varies by individual. Some patients use Suboxone short-term to transition off opioids, while others benefit from longer-term maintenance. Your care plan will be tailored to your needs and recovery goals.
