Online Opioid Use Disorder Treatment with Suboxone

Opioid use disorder is a serious medical condition, and trying to stop on your own can feel overwhelming. Cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and changes in mood, sleep, and functioning can make recovery feel out of reach. You are not alone, and effective, evidence‑based treatment options are available.

Get Well Concierge offers clinician‑directed, medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder using Suboxone and related medications, when clinically appropriate. Suboxone can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings so that you can focus on the psychological, social, and behavioral work of recovery. Treatment is delivered through secure telehealth visits with licensed clinicians who follow all applicable federal and state regulations for buprenorphine prescribing.

What is Suboxone?

Suboxone is an FDA‑approved prescription medication used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for opioid use disorder. It contains two active ingredients, buprenorphine and naloxone. Together, they help lessen withdrawal symptoms and cravings while lowering the risk of misuse compared to full‑agonist opioids. Suboxone is usually taken once daily and is combined with counseling, support, and other recovery services.

Other buprenorphine‑containing products may also be used to treat opioid use disorder, including:

  • Bunavail (buprenorphine and naloxone) buccal film

  • Zubsolv (buprenorphine and naloxone) sublingual tablets

  • Other FDA‑approved buprenorphine products for opioid dependency

Your clinician will determine which medication, dosing, and schedule are most appropriate for you based on your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals.

How does Suboxone work?

Suboxone has pharmacologic properties that make it useful in treating opioid use disorder:

  • It can reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

  • It helps diminish the effects of physical dependence on opioids.

  • It can improve safety compared with untreated opioid use, especially when used as part of a structured MAT program.

Suboxone combines two medications that work together:

Buprenorphine

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist. It activates opioid receptors but produces a “ceiling effect,” meaning that beyond a certain dose, its effects do not continue to increase. This helps lower the risk of misuse and overdose compared to full‑agonist opioids. Its long duration of action means many patients can take it once a day.

Naloxone

Naloxone is an opioid antagonist. On its own, it is used to reverse opioid overdose. In Suboxone, naloxone is combined with buprenorphine to help discourage misuse. If Suboxone is taken as prescribed (under the tongue or inside the cheek), naloxone has minimal effect. If someone attempts to misuse it by injecting it, naloxone may block the desired opioid “high.”

Can you receive Suboxone treatment through telehealth?

In many cases, yes—Suboxone treatment for opioid use disorder can be initiated and managed via telehealth, subject to current federal and state rules and clinical judgment. DEA and SAMHSA rules now allow certain buprenorphine prescribing via audio‑video telemedicine encounters when specific requirements are met.

At Get Well Concierge, you begin with a secure telehealth visit with a licensed clinician. During this evaluation, your provider will:

  • Review your history of opioid use and prior treatment.

  • Assess your current symptoms, risks, and support system.

  • Decide whether buprenorphine‑based treatment is appropriate and safe for you.

If Suboxone or a similar medication is prescribed, your clinician will discuss how to take it, how to recognize side effects, and how follow‑up care will work. Medication‑assisted treatment is always combined with counseling, support, and relapse‑prevention planning whenever possible.
