Ophelia is your best treatment option for opioid dependence

At the moment, Ophelia clinicians primarily prescribe Suboxone or the generic buprenorphine / naloxone. We can also prescribe medication for symptoms related to withdrawal during induction, such as nausea or trouble sleeping. We do not currently prescribe ongoing medication for anxiety or depression.

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.

There are very few side effects with Suboxone. If you experience any side effects, you can let your doctor know and we’ll change your treatment plan. We can always switch you to a different type of medication or change the dose. The most common side effects of daily tablets include (in order of most to least common): headaches, opioid withdrawal syndrome, pain, increased sweating, low blood pressure, and vomiting. The most common side effects seen in film formulations include: tongue pain, decreased sensation and redness in the mouth, headache, nausea, vomiting, excessive sweating, constipation, signs and symptoms of opioid withdrawal, sleeping difficulties, pain, and swelling of the extremities.

Yes - we work with a growing set of insurance plans, including AmeriHealth Caritas, Keystone First Health Plan, Fidelis, Empire BCBS, Highmark BCBS, Humana, Anthem CT, Geisinger Health Plan, and United Mine Workers Association. You may have a copay, coinsurance, deductible, or other financial responsibility as required by your insurance, which our care team will communicate to you during treatment.

If you don't have insurance or we aren't in-network with your plan, we have a transparent and easy out-of-pocket pricing plan: $195 per month. This covers all of your visits each month. Read more about Ophelia's pricing and what's included here.
