You Don't Have to Hit Rock Bottom to Get Help
Maybe it started with a prescription after a surgery. Maybe it started somewhere else. However
it started, if opioids have taken more space in your life than you ever planned, you're not weak
and you're not alone. Substance use disorder is a medical condition, and it responds to medical
treatment.
At Telepsych 4 You, our psychiatric nurse practitioners now offer medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone, paired with the mental health care we're known for. You can meet with us in person at our Los Lunas Location or privately from home through telehealth, whichever feels safest for you.
What Is Substance Use Disorder?
Substance use disorder (SUD) happens when repeated use of a substance changes how the
brain handles reward, stress, and self-control. Over time, the brain starts treating the substance
like a survival need. That's why "just stop" doesn't work, and why willpower alone usually isn't
enough.
Signs can include:
● Needing more to feel the same effect
● Feeling sick, anxious, or achy when you go without (withdrawal)
● Trying to cut back and not being able to
● Using despite problems at work, at home, or with your health
● Spending a lot of time thinking about, getting, or recovering from using
SUD often travels with anxiety, depression, trauma, or trouble sleeping. Treating both at once
gives you a much better shot at lasting recovery, and that's exactly what we do.

What is Suboxone?
Suboxone is an FDA-approved medication for opioid use disorder. It combines two ingredients:
Buprenorphine eases withdrawal symptoms and cravings so your body and brain can stabilize. It works on the same receptors as other opioids, but only partially, and its effect levels off, which lowers the risk of misuse and overdose.
Naloxone is added to discourage misuse of the medication itself.
The result: you can stop chasing relief and start getting your life back. Work, family, sleep, focus. Suboxone gives you the steadiness to work on the rest.
Suboxone Treatment Q & A
How It Works
Step 1: Reach out. Book online or call us. No lecture, no judgment. Just a conversation.
Step 2: Get evaluated. You'll meet with a provider, in person or by telehealth, to talk about your history, your health, and your goals. We'll also do a quick drug screening. It isn't a test you pass or fail. It helps us choose a safe starting dose and avoid dangerous medication interactions.
Step 3: Start your plan. If Suboxone is right for you, your provider will guide you through starting it safely and comfortably.
Step 4: Keep going. Regular check-ins, medication management, and mental health support for as long as you need them.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is my treatment really confidential?
Yes. Substance use treatment records have additional federal privacy protections beyond standard medical privacy laws. We don't share your information with your employer, family, or anyone else without your written consent, except in rare situations the law requires, which your provider can walk you through.
2. Why do I need a drug test?
It's about safety, not judgment. A drug screen shows your provider what's currently in your system so they can pick a safe starting dose and avoid harmful interactions. Positive results won't get you turned away. They just help us care for you better.
3. Can I do everything through telehealth?
Many patients can. Depending on your situation, your provider may recommend an in-person visit at our Los Lunas office for your evaluation or drug screening. We'll find the setup that keeps you safe and fits your life.
4. Isn't Suboxone just trading one drug for another?
No. Addiction is defined by compulsive use that harms your life. Suboxone, taken as prescribed, does the opposite. It stabilizes your brain chemistry, reduces cravings, and lets you function. It's like insulin for diabetes: a medication that manages a medical condition. Patients on medication-assisted treatment have much better recovery outcomes and lower overdose risk than people who go without.
5. Does insurance cover Suboxone treatment?
We accept most insurance plans, and many plans, including Medicaid, cover treatment for opioid use disorder. Call us at 505-550-1011 and our team will help you check your coverage before your first visit.
