Suboxone Treatment

Arbour Counseling Services – Allston is offering an outpatient Suboxone treatment program called “Supportive Recovery Services.” Suboxone treatment can help avoid many of the physical symptoms of opioid withdrawal. The aim of the program is to combine medical Suboxone for opioid dependency with individual counseling and group counseling. Participants must have a co-occurring psychiatric and addictions disorders.

The treatment is highly structured and conducted under the supervision of a certified physician. Prior to treatment, clients must undergo an intake screening which would include a full psychosocial assessment and a comprehensive substance abuse history. If a patient is appropriate for the program, they will sign a detailed treatment contract that clearly spells out the elements and expectations of their treatment.

Once patients are taking Suboxone and have been stable for a time, Suboxone will be gradually tapered off in a structured environment. Treatment is expected to last between 12-18 months.
