What a program adds
Structure can help — or create barriers.
Some treatment settings require group sessions, rotating providers, mandatory counseling, and compliance requirements before prescribing medication.
For some patients, that structure is helpful. For others, it becomes the reason they do not get treatment at all.
What this practice does
Medical care, directly.
Here, the visit is a clinical encounter. We talk through your situation, your history, and what is realistic right now.
If buprenorphine is appropriate, it is started and adjusted based on how you respond.
There is no required counseling. No group sessions. No compliance ladder before medication is available.
Some patients choose to pursue counseling separately. Others do not. That is a decision you make — not a condition of your care.
In practice
In practice.
The first visit is a clinical evaluation — your history, your current situation, what you have tried before.
If buprenorphine is appropriate, it is started that day.
Care builds from there.
Most patients are seen monthly once stable. Earlier in treatment, visits may be more frequent.
There is no program to complete before care begins.
