Addressing the opioid epidemic in Amherst
The opioid epidemic in Amherst, NY has had a devastating impact on the community. Like many other areas in the United States, Amherst has seen a significant increase in opioid addiction and overdose cases in recent years. The accessibility and availability of prescription painkillers, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, have contributed to the rise in addiction rates. Additionally, the influx of illicit opioids, such as heroin and fentanyl, has further exacerbated the crisis. The opioid epidemic has not only affected individuals struggling with addiction but has also strained healthcare systems, law enforcement agencies, and social services in Amherst. Ophelia is addressing this crisis by offering accessible and evidence-based treatment options to individuals in Amherst who are seeking help and support in their recovery journey.

At the moment, Ophelia clinicians primarily prescribe Suboxone or the generic buprenorphine + naloxone combination. We can also prescribe medication for symptoms related to withdrawal during induction, such as nausea or trouble sleeping, and medication for depressive, anxiety, and insomnia disorders.

Suboxone is a combination medication of Buprenorphine and Naloxone. It’s a partial opioid that binds to the same receptors in the brain as traditional opioids and reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms but does not produce the same “high” at a therapeutic dosage, so you can feel physically healthy and remain clear-headed all day. Learn more about Suboxone here.
We accept many major insurance plans, including Medicaid. Most patients pay less than $10 a month for care, which includes all clinician visits via video calls, Suboxone management, and ongoing support from the dedicated care team. Cash pay also available.
