About Suboxone and buprenorphine
Buprenorphine is an FDA-approved medicine for opioid use disorder. It's a partial opioid agonist: it eases withdrawal and cravings, with a ceiling on its opioid effect. Suboxone is buprenorphine with naloxone, a film that dissolves under the tongue; the naloxone is there to discourage injecting it. Buprenorphine also comes as tablets and as a long-acting injection. Since the MAT Act of 2023, any clinician whose DEA registration covers Schedule III drugs can prescribe it for opioid use disorder where state law allows, so it isn't limited to clinics.

Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: most Texas Medicaid members are in a managed care health plan (STAR, STAR+PLUS, STAR Kids or STAR Health), and the program has to be in that plan's network.
