About Gadsden, AL Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a pharmaceutical substance that is used to help treat people in Gadsden, AL who are struggling with addiction to opiates, whether pharmaceutical, illicitly-made, natural, or synthetic opiates. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. This medication assisted treatment (MAT) option is uniquely accessible through Suboxone doctors in Gadsden, AL who are specially qualified to prescribe Suboxone to patients addicted to opioids and are seeking help. To avoid abuse, Suboxone doctors may ask that patients come and take their dose at their office for the first weeks or months.

Before the year 2000, Methadone was the most common drug used for opioid addiction management, however, it could only be distributed by a clinic licensed for methadone treatment. This limited access to MAT for opiate addiction. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 opened the door for individual doctors to be able to apply for a waiver, opening the door for individual practitioners to prescribe Suboxone. However, there are still strict regulations these doctors must follow that limit treatment. This includes how many patients they are able to treat for addiction to painkillers and other opiates.
