How Suboxone Works

Suboxone contains two active ingredients: buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that activates opioid receptors enough to prevent withdrawal and reduce cravings without producing a high, and naloxone, an opioid antagonist that discourages misuse. This combination makes Suboxone one of the safest and most effective medications for opioid use disorder.

Suboxone can be prescribed in an office-based setting by certified providers, meaning patients don't need to visit a specialized clinic daily. Most patients take Suboxone as a daily sublingual film or tablet, though dosing schedules may be adjusted as treatment progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?

MAT combines FDA-approved medications — such as Suboxone (buprenorphine), methadone, or Vivitrol (naltrexone) — with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat opioid use disorder and alcohol dependence. It is considered the standard of care by major medical organizations.

Does insurance cover MAT in Massachusetts?

Most health insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, cover medication-assisted treatment. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires insurance companies to cover addiction treatment at the same level as other medical conditions. Our team can verify your benefits before your first appointment.

Do I need to detox before starting MAT?

It depends on the medication. Suboxone requires patients to be in mild to moderate withdrawal before induction. Methadone can be started at any time. Vivitrol requires full detox from opioids (typically 7-14 days) before the first injection. Our intake team will guide you through the process.
