Select physicians and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners in Elite DNA’s Fort Myers, Naples and Venice offer Suboxone treatment for adults. These providers have undergone additional training and certification in order to offer buprenorphine therapy to patients. Buprenorphine is used in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings for opioids.  In order to hold prescribing privileges for buprenorphine, providers must meet all the stringent requirements to obtain a “Suboxone waiver” from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).  Elite DNA Behavioral Health is pleased to offer MAT as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for OUD.
