What to Expect at Your Online Suboxone Clinic Appointment

At Marcellus Wellness & Addiction, your journey toward recovery begins with compassionate, confidential care—even from your first online Suboxone appointment. Using our secure video telehealth platform, you’ll connect with a licensed healthcare provider who is dedicated to your well-being and privacy.

Our provider will start by introducing themselves and walking you through the telehealth process. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable and fully informed about your privacy rights and the consent process at Marcellus Wellness & Addiction.

You’ll be asked about your medical history, substance use history, current symptoms, and any previous treatment you’ve received for opioid use disorder. To provide you with the best possible care, your provider may inquire about the types of opioids you’ve used, how often you use them, for how long, and any withdrawal symptoms you’ve experienced. We’ll also talk about your motivation for seeking treatment now, so we can tailor your care to your unique needs.

Your overall health is important to us. That’s why we’ll review any mental health concerns, current medications, and underlying medical conditions. This helps ensure that Suboxone treatment is both safe and effective for you. As part of the process, you may be asked to provide identification and, occasionally, to show the inside of your mouth or arms to help assess for signs of recent substance use or withdrawal.

At Marcellus Wellness & Addiction, your initial virtual Suboxone visit typically lasts between 45 minutes to one hour. During this comprehensive appointment, our experienced healthcare provider will take the time to understand your unique needs by reviewing your medical history, discussing your substance use patterns, and evaluating any co-occurring mental health concerns. We’ll also explain how Suboxone treatment works, review potential side effects, and answer any questions you may have.

The length of your telehealth visit may vary based on your individual situation, but we recommend setting aside about an hour to ensure there’s sufficient time for a thorough assessment and to help you feel confident in your personalized treatment plan moving forward. At Marcellus Wellness & Addiction, our goal is to support you every step of the way on your journey to recovery.

During the first Suboxone appointment at Marcellus Wellness & Addiction, the provider will gather essential information to assess your medical history and determine your suitability for Suboxone treatment. Expect the provider to ask about your substance use history, including what substances you’ve used, how long you’ve been using them, the frequency and amount of use, and any previous treatment attempts. They will inquire about your current symptoms, including withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and how your addiction has impacted your daily life.

The provider will also ask about your medical history, such as any chronic illnesses, surgeries, or current medications. It’s important to mention any past mental health diagnoses (e.g., depression or anxiety) as these can affect treatment decisions. They may also ask about your family history of addiction or mental health conditions. Your physical health will be assessed through a routine examination, and the provider will likely conduct some blood tests to check liver function and overall health.

Additionally, they will discuss your goals for treatment, including any personal or professional support systems, such as family or counseling. This helps Marcellus Wellness & Addiction tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your needs and ensures you receive the most appropriate care for your recovery.

At Marcellus Wellness & Addiction, we want your online Suboxone appointment to be as smooth and productive as possible. A little preparation can help you get the most out of your time with your provider:

●Set Up Your Space: Ensure you have a reliable internet connection and a private, quiet place where you can speak openly and comfortably with your Marcellus Wellness & Addiction provider.

●Gather Important Information: Please have a list of your current medications, any past treatments for opioid use disorder, known allergies, and note any recent changes to your health.

●Insurance and Identification: Have your insurance card and a valid photo ID ready. This helps us verify your information and process your appointment efficiently.

●Previous Medical Records: If you have records of past opioid prescriptions or previous treatment notes, bring them to your appointment or have them accessible. Feel free to ask our office in advance if you’re unsure about which documents may be needed.

●Prepare Your Questions: Write down any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with our provider. This ensures you get the answers and support you need during your visit.

●Substance Use History: Be prepared to talk honestly about your substance use history, including the types of substances used, how often you’ve used them, and any withdrawal symptoms you’ve experienced. This information helps your provider at Marcellus Wellness & Addiction design the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.

If you have any questions about your upcoming appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact Marcellus Wellness & Addiction. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
