Suboxone Induction

Suboxone can help you overcome dependence on opioid prescription painkillers or heroin.

MOMMS Clinic can monitor you as a patient while you are being induced onto Suboxone, and then refer you back to your treating physician for maintenance.

You will be asked to present yourself at MOMMS in a moderate state of withdrawal. Being in this state is vital to having successful induction on buprenorphine.

The drug you have been misusing needs to be free from the receptors in your brain so that the medication can bind to them. The doctor will give you your first dose of the medication, which can be adjusted if you are still not feeling well.

When you are ready to leave MOMMS, the doctor may give you instructions and a prescription that will last until your next appointment with your primary physician.
