Suboxone Doctors Accepting New Patients in Peachtree Corners GA and Asheville NC

The two main reasons why doctors prescribe Suboxone are for the treatment of opioid use disorder and to relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms. Opioid withdrawal symptoms can occur when opioid use—from any opioid, including heroin, fentanyl, morphine, and oxycodone—is stopped. Withdrawal symptoms can arise only hours after the cessation of opioids and can persist for up to 24 to 48 hours, depending on how long opioids were abused and the doses are taken.

Opioid addiction is a serious condition that requires professional treatment to overcome in the vast majority of cases. There have been several different methods used to treat opioid use disorder, but few produce the quality of results that Suboxone does. Suboxone is very effective at negating the effects of other opioids, which in turn lowers the desire to continue using opioids.

Doctors must receive special licensing and undergo advanced training to prescribe Suboxone to patients; this is because Suboxone is a controlled substance and has a potential for misuse or abuse. Doctors who prescribe Suboxone generally come from a background in addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry; they must be board-certified in their field to receive a Suboxone license. They must also offer MOUD (medication for opioid use disorder) in a qualified practice setting; a qualified practice setting is defined as a practice that:

• Offers coverage for medical emergencies
• Provides access to case management services
• Utilizes health information technology systems
• Accepts third-party payment for health services

The cost of a visit with a Suboxone doctor varies based on several factors, including:

• The geographic location of the clinic
• The doctor’s level of expertise
• The length of the visit
• The reason for the visit (consultation, induction, follow-up, review, examination, etc.)
• Insurance coverage

It is important to note that there is no standard price for Suboxone treatment; physicians set their own rates for treatment. The cost of the initial consultation, which is a prerequisite for Suboxone treatment, can range from anywhere from $100 to $300 per hour. The first treatment of Suboxone is known as induction and can range from $200 to $400. After the induction, follow-up appointments will be made at intervals of the doctor’s discretion; they can cost anywhere from $125 to $250 per visit.
