Opioid Dependence

Dr. Lopez-Leon is qualified by SAMHSA to treat patients who are dependent on opioids with buprenorphine.

We offer treatment for adolescent and adult patients with buprenorphine, one of the most effective treatments available, and the only one approved by the FDA to be used to treat patients in a doctor’s office.

Some of the benefits of treatment with buprenorphine include:

It Works-                          

Buprenorphine suppresses withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings.

Reduces Risks-

No more worries about being arrested by reducing or eliminitating  illicit opioid use. Reduces the risk of introducing into your body other unknown substances used to “cut down” illicit opioids. Reduces risk of sharing needles and contracting infectious diseases such as HIV and Viral Hepatitis.

Private-                            

In-office treatment provides you the comfort of privacy.

Confidence-                   

In-office treatment may reduce stigma and embarrassment.

Confidential -                

We are acutely aware of importance of confidentiality. We make every effort to ensure anonymity and confidentiality.

Take Control -               

Buprenorphine treatment reduces vulnerabilities to triggers and prevents relapses.

Freedom -                       

Buprenorphine gives you the opportunity to have a “normal life” again, by eliminating daily trips to healthcare clinics for maintenance treatments. You can experience once again the convenience of uninterrupted work hours and  stop feeling that you are “tied down” to a city being unable to make business or leisure travel, or missing family events.
