Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
MAT Services at Falcon Urgent Care
Medication-assisted treatment uses FDA-approved medications to address the neurological effects of opioid dependence, reducing the physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms that make recovery so difficult without support. At Falcon Urgent Care, our physicians prescribe and manage MAT medications as part of a broader, individualized treatment approach that includes regular monitoring and ongoing physician oversight.
Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone)
Suboxone is one of the most widely used and well-studied medications for opioid use disorder. It combines buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing a significant high, and naloxone, which helps deter misuse. Suboxone is typically taken as a sublingual film or tablet and is prescribed as part of a structured treatment plan. Our physicians will evaluate your situation, discuss whether Suboxone is the right fit for you, and monitor your progress over time to adjust your plan as needed.
Other MAT Medications
Depending on your health history and treatment needs, our physicians may discuss other FDA-approved medication options as part of your individualized care plan. Your provider will walk you through all available options and help you make an informed decision about the approach that is right for you.
Falcon Urgent Care also offers smoking cessation support for patients working to overcome nicotine dependence as part of a broader commitment to addiction care in our community.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?
Medication-assisted treatment is the use of FDA-approved medications, combined with physician support, to treat substance use disorders. For opioid use disorder, MAT medications work by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, stabilizing brain chemistry, and lowering the risk of relapse and overdose. MAT is not a substitute for one addiction with another. It is a clinically proven medical treatment, endorsed by major health organizations including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the American Society of Addiction Medicine, that gives patients a stable foundation from which to pursue lasting recovery.
Who is a candidate for MAT with Suboxone?
Suboxone is typically appropriate for adults who are dependent on opioids and are motivated to pursue treatment. Candidacy is determined during a consultation with one of our physicians, who will review your health history, current medication use, and treatment goals. Suboxone is not appropriate for everyone, and our physicians will discuss all available options to find the approach best suited to your situation. If you are unsure whether MAT is right for you, the best first step is to call our office and schedule a conversation with our team.
What should I expect at my first addiction treatment appointment?
Your first appointment will involve a thorough review of your medical history, current substance use, and treatment goals. Our physician will take time to understand your situation, answer your questions, and explain your treatment options without judgment. If MAT is determined to be appropriate, your physician will discuss the medication, dosing, and monitoring process in detail before you begin. Our goal is to make sure you feel informed, supported, and respected at every step of your care.
Is addiction treatment confidential?
Yes. Your care at Falcon Urgent Care is protected by the same HIPAA privacy standards as any other medical treatment. Addiction treatment records are subject to additional federal confidentiality protections under 42 CFR Part 2, which restricts the disclosure of substance use disorder treatment information even more broadly than standard HIPAA rules. You can discuss your situation with our team with confidence that your privacy will be protected.
