Suboxone Therapy
Suboxone therapy is a form of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) designed to help individuals recover from opioid addiction. It involves the use of Suboxone, a medication that combines buprenorphine and naloxone, to reduce cravings, manage withdrawal symptoms, and prevent relapse.
Journey Medical provides Suboxone Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to support individuals experiencing opioid withdrawal. Suboxone is a carefully regulated medication that helps ease withdrawal symptoms and carries a low risk of misuse. When taken as prescribed, it can be a powerful tool for those working to overcome opioid addiction. If you’re located in or near Portland, TN, we encourage you to contact Journey Medical for more details about our program.
Understanding Suboxone Medication-Assisted Treatment
Suboxone MAT is a trusted and evidence-based approach to treating opioid addiction. It works by easing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings, making recovery more manageable and less overwhelming. The combination of buprenorphine and naloxone in Suboxone helps block the effects of opioids while minimizing the risk of misuse. This treatment is often paired with counseling to address both the physical and emotional aspects of recovery. At Journey Medical, we use Suboxone as part of a comprehensive outpatient program designed to support long-term healing.

Why Counseling + Suboxone = Best Results
Suboxone treats the physical side of addiction, while counseling treats the mental and emotional side. Together, they provide a comprehensive recovery plan that leads to better long-term success.
What Forms Does Suboxone Come In?
Suboxone is available in two primary forms: Film and Tablet.
Both forms contain the same active ingredients (buprenorphine and naloxone) and work the same way, but some patients prefer one over the other based on taste, ease of use, or insurance coverage.
Yes! Generic versions of Suboxone sublingual film and tablet are available. These contain the same active ingredients and work just as effectively but may cost less than the brand-name version.
