Opioid Treatment Services

Someone Cares Inc. of Atlanta provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) through a grant from the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), serving individuals in Cobb, DeKalb, and Fulton Counties. Our MAT program utilizes Suboxone (buprenorphine) to effectively treat opioid use disorders.

Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2002, medications like Suboxone—when combined with counseling and behavioral therapies—offer a comprehensive, whole-person approach to opioid addiction treatment. Research shows that when taken as prescribed, buprenorphine is both safe and effective.

Unlike methadone, which must be administered in highly structured clinic settings, buprenorphine can be prescribed or dispensed in a physician’s office. This flexibility significantly expands access to treatment, making it easier for individuals to receive the care they need.
