Entering an addiction treatment program can be overwhelming. We’d like to ease some of your concerns and tell you a little more about Alabama Suboxone Clinics. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers. If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
How much does your Suboxone program cost?
We take many insurance plans, but not all plans. We also accept Alabama Medicaid. The front desk can let you know if we take yours. You can also look at our insurance page for additional information. If you are paying cash, each visit is $175 paid up front.
Can I transfer to Alabama Suboxone Clinics from another clinic?
If you are already on Suboxone and transferring to us, you will typically have an initial visit with a follow-up two weeks later. After that you will have monthly visits as long as you are fully compliant with the program.
What if I was on Suboxone before and I’d like to begin treatment again?
If you are re-starting Suboxone, you will typically have an initial visit with a follow-up visit one week later. After that, you will have monthly visits as long as you are fully compliant with the program.
What happens if I can’t make it to my appointment?
We will schedule your next visit at the end of every visit with us. You are allowed to reschedule as long as you do so at least 2 weekdays before your appointment. Note that you must reschedule your appointment such that it is no more than 30 days from your last appointment.
Do you refill medication if I can’t make my appointment?
