At Texas Clinic, we offer Buprenorphine/Naloxone (commonly known by brand names like Suboxone®) as part of our comprehensive Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program to help individuals recover from Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).
Buprenorphine is an FDA-approved medication for treating Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).
It is a partial opioid agonist, meaning it produces weaker effects than full opioids like heroin or fentanyl.
Naloxone is added to help prevent misuse by blocking the euphoric effects if the medication is injected.
When taken correctly, Buprenorphine/Naloxone helps:
Buprenorphine/Naloxone is typically prescribed as a sublingual film or tablet taken daily.

Buprenorphine binds to opioid receptors in the brain, but only partially activates them.
This allows patients to feel “normal” without experiencing the extreme highs and lows of opioid use.
Key benefits include:
Relief from withdrawal symptoms
Decreased cravings for opioids
Reduced risk of misuse and overdose
Over time, dosing may be adjusted based on individual progress.

Before beginning treatment, patients must be in the early stages of opioid withdrawal (typically 12–24 hours after last opioid use).
Starting Buprenorphine/Naloxone too early can trigger severe withdrawal symptoms.
Treatment is most effective when combined with:
Individual counseling
Group therapy
Supportive recovery services
Our team at Texas Clinic customizes each patient’s plan to meet their specific needs.
