FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about buprenorphine
Straightforward answers on visits, withdrawal support, switching providers and getting started.
Can doctors prescribe buprenorphine online legally?
Yes, current federal regulations allow qualified providers to prescribe buprenorphine online to new or established patients with opioid use disorder. buprenorphine telehealth visits ensure patients can access the treatment they need without in-person appointments. This allowance has been shown to reduce opioid overdose. It’s also supported by leading addiction medicine professional groups.
Do I have to attend in-person visits at any point?
No, Ophelia’s online buprenorphine treatment is 100% virtual. Every appointment, from your initial evaluation to your ongoing follow-ups, takes place over secure video. You will not need to visit a physical clinic at any stage of the treatment process.
Can I switch to online buprenorphine treatment if I've been treated at a clinic before?
Yes, many Ophelia patients transition from in-person clinics to virtual treatment. Your care team will review your treatment history and work to continue your plan without interruption.
What if I've tried buprenorphine before and relapsed?
Relapse can happen when dealing with OUD. Our clinicians won’t judge or disqualify you from treatment due to past setbacks. If you’ve taken buprenorphine before, your provider will review your medical history, adjust your plan accordingly, and continue managing your care with your past experience in mind.
What happens if I experience withdrawal symptoms while on buprenorphine?
Our providers are prepared for this possibility. Ophelia clinicians can prescribe comfort medications alongside buprenorphine to ease withdrawal symptoms like nausea or trouble sleeping during the early stages of treatment. If you’re struggling between appointments, don’t wait to reach out. Contact your care team directly through the platform for timely support.
Are there different forms of buprenorphine?
Yes, there are several different forms of buprenorphine. Formulations that reduce opioid cravings and help ease withdrawal include Sublocade® (an extended-release injection), Subutex® (a sublingual tablet), and Probuphine® (a subdermal implant).
Are there any options for combination buprenorphine?
Yes, two combination formulations were developed to help prevent the misuse of buprenorphine for opioid dependence. These include Suboxone® (a sublingual tablet or film) and Zubsolv® (a sublingual tablet).
Both medications combine buprenorphine with naloxone, a drug that blocks the euphoric effects of opioids and counteracts withdrawal symptoms. While Suboxone and Zubsolv deliver the same ingredients in the same ratio, Zubsolv is more bioavailable. That means it’s absorbed more efficiently, offering a slightly higher potency at the same dosage.
Remember: your clinician will work with you to choose a medication based on your medical history, lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
Reduce opioid cravings + manage withdrawal with Buprenorphine
Medication is one of the most effective tools available to treat OUD. Buprenorphine reduces cravings and eases withdrawal symptoms so you can begin feeling like yourself again. Start treatment that works, knowing you have a team that stays with you every step of the way.
