Confidential, evidence-based addiction treatment

Opioid addiction is a medical condition, and proven treatment is available. At Emerald Caremax Medical Centre in Cambridge, our addiction team provides Suboxone® (buprenorphine/naloxone) therapy to help reduce cravings, prevent withdrawal, and support long-term recovery — so you can regain control of your health and life.

Why Suboxone®? A Safer, First-Line Treatment Option

Suboxone® is recommended as a first-line opioid agonist therapy (OAT) in Canada because it:

• Lowers risk of overdose compared to full opioid agonists
• Controls cravings and withdrawal symptoms
• Helps patients stay engaged in work, school, and family life
• Supports a stable foundation for lasting recovery

Our clinicians follow evidence-based treatment guidelines to ensure safe and individualized care at every step.

Who Can Benefit from Suboxone®?

Our program supports adults 18+ who are:

• Dependent on prescription or unregulated opioids (e.g., fentanyl, oxycodone, hydromorphone)
• Looking for a safer alternative to ongoing opioid use
• Struggling with relapse despite previous treatment attempts
• Seeking a compassionate, non-judgmental clinic environment

➤ We care for patients from Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, and surrounding communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Suboxone® make me feel high?
No. Therapeutic doses stabilize your system rather than create euphoria.

How long will I be on Suboxone®?
Treatment is individualized. Some maintain long-term therapy; others may taper when stable.

Is counselling required?
Medication works best when combined with counselling, peer support, and recovery tools.
