No. They are not the same, but can be used in tandem when prescribed by a clinician. Narcan can be prescribed with buprenorphine to accelerate the process, and is the quickest, but most intense method. (Add a note saying, “if you are using fentanyl, have a high withdrawal tolerance, or want the process to be done as quickly as possible?)

A Boulder clinician can prescribe you needed medication for you to fill at a local pharmacy or via mail.

The proper dosage for suboxone varies from person to person and their health needs, and should always be set for you by your clinician/doctor. A licensed prescriber will be able to help find the right Suboxone dosing. See if Suboxone is right for you by talking to one of our clinicians today.

Just as other health conditions are made better with medication, some substance use disorders get better with certain safe, evidence-based medications, known as Medications for Addiction Treatment, or MAT. This doesn’t mean that the medication cures the condition, but it does improve the lives of people who take it, similar to medications for thyroid, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other issues. See below for specific medications Boulder can prescribe for opioid and alcohol use disorders.

Kratom withdrawal can feel similar to opioid withdrawal and may include sweating, restlessness, muscle aches, anxiety, diarrhea, runny nose or eyes, tremor, and trouble sleeping.

Yes. If someone meets criteria for opioid addiction, medications used to treat opioid addiction—such as buprenorphine (the active medication in Suboxone)—can be effective for treating kratom dependence and withdrawal.

Suboxone partially activates opioid receptors in the brain that can reduce withdrawal symptoms and relieve cravings caused by kratom. Suboxone helps to provide stability and supports long-term recovery.
