A member asked:

When i schedul an appt to see a suboxone specialist when will i receive my first treatment of suboxone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soon: After an agreement is made to provide treatment a decision is made as to when to discontinue opiates/opioids. The first dose of Suboxone is given after the signs and symptoms of withdrawal begin. If given too soon Suboxone could make withdrawal worse.

Dr Allan and 2 doctors agreed
