About Summit, AZ Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a FDA-approved medication that is used to help treat people in Summit, AZ who are struggling with addiction to heroin, fentanyl, or any other opiate substance. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. This medically assisted treatment (MAT) option is solely available through a doctor licensed to prescribe Subxone in Summit, AZ who have completed addiction requirements to prescribe Suboxone to individuals addicted to opioids and are seeking help. To avoid abuse, Suboxone doctors may demand that patients come and take their dose at their office for the first weeks or months.

Methadone was previously the most frequently used pharmaceutical treatment used for the treatment of opioid addictions, but it could only be prescribed via a methadone clinic. These limitations made it difficult to access MAT for addiction to opioid drugs. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 created the option for individual physicians to be able to apply for a waiver, allowing them to prescribe Suboxone. It is important to[be aware that there are still strict regulations these doctors must follow that limit treatment, including limits to the number of patients they are able to treat for addiction to painkillers and other opiates.
