Confidential Suboxone treatment that fits your life

Same-day evaluation when available, online and in-person support, insurance and Medicaid review, and no judgment for people dealing with opioid dependence, fentanyl exposure, or pain-pill misuse.

Suboxone treatment combines buprenorphine and naloxone with medical follow-up. The goal is to reduce withdrawal symptoms, cravings, relapse risk, and overdose danger while helping daily life become more stable.

Medication decisions require clinical review. A medication that helps one person may be unsafe for another because of recent substance use, withdrawal timing, pregnancy, liver or kidney disease, seizure history, opioid exposure, psychiatric symptoms, current prescriptions, or overdose risk.

What is Suboxone treatment?

Suboxone is a buprenorphine-naloxone medication used as part of medication treatment for opioid-use disorder. It can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms when started at the right time and monitored by a clinician.

Buprenorphine

A partial opioid agonist that can reduce withdrawal and cravings while having a ceiling effect that improves safety when used correctly.

Naloxone

Included to discourage misuse. It does not replace overdose-reversal naloxone that families may carry for emergencies.

Medical follow-up

Medication is paired with follow-up visits, safety review, counseling coordination, testing when useful, and relapse-prevention planning.

Signs medication support may help

Am I eligible for Suboxone treatment?

Most people start with a clinical review. These questions help the provider understand timing and safety before deciding whether medication is appropriate.

Check

Are you having withdrawal symptoms?

Timing helps decide whether medication can start safely.

Check

Have you used opioids recently?

Recent fentanyl, heroin, or pain-pill use affects the plan.

Check

Do you want discreet treatment?

Private telehealth and local follow-up may reduce barriers.

Check

Do you have insurance or Medicaid?

Coverage can be checked before treatment moves forward.

How Suboxone treatment works

1. Book a private visit

Choose telehealth or local care when appropriate, share urgent timing needs, and bring medication, insurance, and pharmacy information.

2. Meet your provider

Review opioid use, withdrawal symptoms, medical history, mental health, medication safety, and recovery goals without judgment.

3. Start a treatment plan

If eligible, medication can be planned with education, pharmacy coordination, follow-up timing, and safety guidance.

4. Keep support in place

Follow-up visits review cravings, side effects, dose stability, testing, relapse risk, counseling, and longer-term recovery needs.

Why choose Nao Medical instead

Nao Medical vs online-only care

Nao offers telehealth when appropriate plus local NYC and Long Island access when testing, in-person review, or follow-up is needed.

Nao Medical vs emergency rooms

Emergency rooms are essential for crisis care, but ongoing medication treatment usually needs repeat follow-up and outpatient planning.

Nao Medical vs traditional rehab

Residential rehab can be right for some patients, while office-based medication care can fit people who need treatment around work, family, or school.

Nao Medical vs methadone clinics

Methadone is effective but is usually dispensed through opioid treatment programs. Nao focuses on office-based buprenorphine and naltrexone pathways.

Insurance and pricing

Insurance

Nao Medical accepts many major insurance plans for addiction medicine and behavioral-health visits, including Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare, United Healthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many commercial plans. Coverage can vary by visit type, medication, pharmacy benefit, lab testing, counseling, and prior authorization.

Medicaid

Many Medicaid plans can be reviewed for addiction medicine visits, medication coverage, and testing needs.

Self-pay

For Suboxone-based care, current self-pay pricing can include $350 for an initial visit including urine drug screening, $200 for follow-up visits including urine drug screening, and $100 for a short bridge visit when clinically appropriate.

No surprise plan

Visit, screening, medication, pharmacy, and follow-up costs are reviewed before the next step whenever possible.

Family support matters

Family members often look for help before the patient is ready to talk. Support can include encouraging a private medical visit, avoiding shame, keeping naloxone available, helping with transportation, asking about insurance, and recognizing when emergency care is needed.

Recovery is not a race. Medication treatment can help create enough stability for counseling, sleep, work, family life, and mental-health care to become more manageable.

Suboxone treatment FAQs

Suboxone is a buprenorphine-naloxone medication used to treat opioid-use disorder. Buprenorphine helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while naloxone is included to discourage misuse.
Buprenorphine-naloxone medications are FDA-approved for opioid-use disorder. A provider still needs to decide whether the medication is appropriate for the patient.
Care usually starts with assessment, withdrawal timing review, medication education, prescription planning when eligible, follow-up visits, and ongoing relapse-prevention support.
Possibly. Same-day evaluation may be available, but medication timing depends on recent opioid use, withdrawal symptoms, fentanyl exposure, safety, and clinical review.
Some care may happen through telehealth when clinically and legally appropriate. In-person care may still be needed for testing, vital signs, injections, or complex symptoms.
Timing varies. It is usually started when withdrawal timing is appropriate so the medication can reduce symptoms without causing precipitated withdrawal.
When taken as prescribed for opioid-use disorder, Suboxone is intended to reduce withdrawal and cravings, not create intoxication. Any unusual sedation or impairment should be reported immediately.
Buprenorphine can cause physical dependence, but medically supervised treatment for opioid-use disorder is different from uncontrolled opioid use. The goal is stability, reduced overdose risk, and recovery support.
Medication treatment under medical supervision is generally much safer than uncontrolled opioid use, especially when paired with follow-up and overdose-risk planning.
Recent fentanyl use can make medication timing more nuanced. The provider reviews timing, withdrawal symptoms, prior buprenorphine experience, and safety before planning a start.
Fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone, OxyContin, hydrocodone, Vicodin, Percocet, codeine, and other opioids can be involved in opioid-use disorder.
No. Those are opioid pain medications and can be part of the problem. They are not opioid-use-disorder treatment medications.
Buprenorphine is an FDA-approved medication for opioid-use disorder. It can reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings when used under medical supervision.
Suboxone is one buprenorphine-naloxone product. Buprenorphine treatment can also refer more broadly to buprenorphine-based care.
Sublocade is a monthly injectable buprenorphine option for eligible patients who are already stabilized on buprenorphine treatment.
VIVITROL is extended-release injectable naltrexone. For opioid relapse prevention, opioid-free planning is required before starting.
That depends on the medication. VIVITROL requires opioid-free planning. Buprenorphine depends on timing and withdrawal symptoms. Severe withdrawal may need a higher level of care.
Some clinicians can prescribe buprenorphine when they are appropriately licensed and the visit is clinically appropriate. The visit still requires assessment and follow-up planning.
Many Medicaid plans cover addiction medicine visits and medications, but coverage details vary by plan, medication, pharmacy benefit, testing, and authorization requirements.
Cost depends on insurance and visit type. For Suboxone-based care, current self-pay pricing can include $350 for an initial visit including urine drug screening, $200 for follow-up visits including urine drug screening, and $100 for a short bridge visit when clinically appropriate. Medication copays and pharmacy rules are separate and depend on the plan.
Nao Medical handles addiction medicine visits with privacy and respect. Insurance, records, and communication preferences can be discussed before treatment moves forward.
Many patients continue working during treatment. Any sedation, impairment, job safety requirement, driving concern, or medication side effect should be reviewed with the provider.
The provider reviews opioid use history, withdrawal timing, medical history, medications, mental health, overdose risk, pregnancy questions when relevant, and treatment goals.
Testing may be part of care when clinically useful for safety, medication monitoring, or documentation. The team explains what is needed and why.
Treatment duration is individualized. Some patients need shorter stabilization, while others benefit from longer maintenance and gradual changes over time.
Yes, if clinically appropriate. A relapse should trigger a safety review, not shame. The plan may adjust medication timing, follow-up, counseling, or overdose prevention.
Family members can help with support, safety planning, transportation, and encouragement, but the patient's privacy and consent still matter.
Yes. Medication often works best with counseling, relapse-prevention planning, mental-health care, and follow-up.
Pregnancy requires individualized addiction and obstetric care. Do not start, stop, or change medication without a clinician who understands both pregnancy and opioid-use disorder.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for overdose, severe withdrawal, chest pain, seizure, confusion, loss of consciousness, severe intoxication, suicidal thoughts, or any situation that feels medically unsafe.
