AOC accepts cash, personal checks, credit cards and money orders for payment. Insurance is not accepted for AOC’s treatment program, however, most insurance plans will cover the cost of prescribed medication. AOC’s program is developed to allow you to keep your job and maintain your day-to-day life which is why we do not accept insurance, unlike most traditional (insurance) rehabs which require up to 4 visits per week we only need to see you once per month.

Medications prescribed as part of AOC’s treatment program contain buprenorphine/naloxon and are commonly known as Suboxone®, Zubsolv® and Bunavail®. When taken daily, buprenorphine helps to eliminate the cravings and withdrawal symptoms that keep people addicted.

The length of the treatment program varies by patient and requires strict compliance by the patient. Our physicians and counselors will work together with the patient to develop an individualized treatment program based on the patient’s needs.

Our team of physicians prescribe medications containing buprenorphine/naloxone. When taken daily, buprenorphine helps to eliminate the cravings and withdrawal symptoms that keep people addicted. Our physicians assess patients to determine the appropriate medication based on their needs, and then closely monitor patients and determine if medication adjustments are needed. The commonly known brand names of medication that we may prescribe include Suboxone®, Zubsolv® and Bunavail®. Subutex® is only prescribed for pregnant patients. By ending cravings and withdrawal symptoms, patients can learn over time to deal with problems and life issues without having to resort to using substances that delay them from facing these challenges.

Yes. The state of Ohio requires all opioid addiction treatment programs to provide patient counseling services. Additionally, research has shown that a combination of behavioral counseling and medication management for opioid addiction helps patients achieve better long-term outcomes.

The reasoning behind the use of buprenorphine treatment programs is to suppress the debilitating symptoms of withdrawal. This enables the patient to better engage in therapy and counseling, which will provide them with the tools they need to implement positive lifestyle changes.

Using medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction is much like using medications for other chronic illnesses like diabetes or heart disease. The goal is to help you remain healthy and engaged in our comprehensive treatment process. Medication can be an important tool that allows you to manage both the short and long-term effects of opioid dependency. Our team at AOC will work with you regarding the appropriateness of tapering your doses until the need for medication is no longer required.
