Addiction Medicine

Recovery is about more than overcoming addiction—it’s about reclaiming your health, rebuilding your confidence, and creating a better future. At A Better You, we understand that every person’s journey is different. That’s why we provide compassionate, physician-led addiction treatment in a supportive, judgment-free environment where you’ll be treated with dignity, respect, and personalized care.

We offer evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder using buprenorphine (Suboxone®) as well as long-acting injectable medications, including Sublocade® and Brixadi®. These extended-release injections provide a convenient alternative to daily medication, helping eligible patients reduce cravings, maintain stability, and focus on long-term recovery.

Because mental health plays an important role in recovery, we also offer GeneSight® pharmacogenomic testing when appropriate. This simple cheek-swab test helps identify how your body may respond to certain psychiatric medications, allowing for more personalized treatment and reducing the trial-and-error approach to medication management.

Conditions we treat

Our providers offer comprehensive care for individuals struggling with:

  • Opioid Use Disorder
  • Fentanyl Dependence
  • Alcohol Use Disorder
  • Methamphetamine Use Disorder
  • Prescription Medication Dependence
  • Benzodiazepine Dependence
  • 7-OH
  • Kratom
  • Methadone

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. We work closely with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses both substance use and the underlying physical and mental health conditions that often accompany addiction. Our goal is to provide the medical care, guidance, and support you need to achieve lasting recovery and a healthier future.
