Suboxone
A steady path for opioid recovery
Suboxone can reduce withdrawal and cravings so clients can focus on therapy, family, work, and school. At Pax Healing, Suboxone is part of a coordinated outpatient plan across Full Day Program, IOP, or OP, with clear education and careful monitoring.
Who Suboxone can help
Adults with opioid use disorder who struggle with withdrawal or persistent cravings
Clients stepping down from inpatient or detox who need added stability
Individuals with co occurring mental health needs who benefit from integrated psychiatry and therapy
How Suboxone treatment works here
Clinical screening and informed consent
A psychiatric provider reviews history, goals, risks, and readiness. We explain how Suboxone works and what to expect.
Personalized induction and dosing
Start is timed to minimize precipitated withdrawal. Dosing is tailored to stabilize symptoms without dulling daily life.
Integrated therapy
CBT, DBT skills, relapse prevention, and family education run alongside medication so clients build routines and accountability.
Ongoing monitoring
Regular visits review response, side effects, sleep, routine, and participation in sessions. Adjustments are made promptly to protect momentum.
Medication safety
Secure storage guidance, adherence coaching, and clear instructions are provided. With consent, families learn how to support routines at home.
