We do our best to get to you within 24 hours or less. Very often if it is early enough in the day, you may even be able to get your prescription the same day.

The initial information we need to get started is basic. We will need to know about you and everything you need to know about us and the medications we use as well as our expectations of you. We will need your full name, recent picture, copy of your state ID, current address, your date of birth, drug use history, with addiction, treatment, Suboxone, medical, surgical, family, psychiatric, and legal history. There are two documents for you to review in detail and sign. These may seem long and tedious, but, these important documents often called a narcotics agreement and informed consent documents are imperative to have in place before your treatment starts.

State and federal regulations require drug screens to make sure that you’re staying with the program and complying with the requirements of the program. This is the same for pill counts as well and these go directly into your medical record in the privacy of your own home.

With regard to prescribing Suboxone if you are new to this then we will do what’s called an induction. If you have been on Suboxone before we are willing to keep you at the same dose provided it is at 16 mg or less daily.

We want you on a good and stable dose so that you can keep your life on track. If you need to take more than 16 mg a day or if you are insistent on having straight buprenorphine better known as Subutex then this is not the program for you.

In all cases, we followed the guidelines set out by the DEA and FDA with regard to medications. To be very clear there is only one situation where we prescribe Subutex without the addition of naloxone making it Suboxone. This is for women that are pregnant and can provide evidence from a provider.

From the start, we will let you know that we do not prescribe benzodiazepines for our patients. As per FDA guidelines, there’s a well-documented risk of harm or death if you take these together. You have probably heard this before but if you have not this is a fair warning for you and you are accepting responsibility if you continue taking these medications. Please understand that if you are currently utilizing other medications, like benzos, we will ask it to the best of your ability you titrate down. We understand that many patients have been on benzodiazepines for many years and that this may be one of the hardest things to do.

If you have another prescriber who is writing these medications we want to make sure that they know that you are in our program.

If these medications are absolutely necessary and not being abused we have no intention of withholding your treatment.

Part of our job is to make sure you’re educated with regard to the rest of interactions between certain medications and also how those medications would react with Suboxone. Understand very plainly that the rest is on you not us.

Other medications such as methadone can be changed to Suboxone. This is likely to be one of the hardest things that you would ever have to do and in general we do not recommend it on a home basis.

Keeping track of your medications is your responsibility. Medications that are missing lost or stolen will not be replaced. You’re asked and you are required to keep your medications in a safe place preferably locked and protected. Another issue that patients do encounter is that younger people or others who may want your medication are willing to do almost anything to get it so don’t let anyone know you have it.
