This practice is NOT shady. I have been a client with them for about 3+ years and never had a problem. Yes, its true, its not against the law to give refills on buprenorphine Rx. However, 99% of clinics that prescribe this medicine do NOT give refills and for good reason. Prescribing bupe is very tightly regulated and monitored. The idea behind monthly visits is to keep close tabs on the patient and make sure they are adhering to the treatment plan. Also, for insurance purposes, monthly drug testing and/or counseling may be required. Most of the people complaining about the monthly visits are probably people who cant get their life straight. Is it not cheaper to spend 250 for dr appt and say 300 for medicine per month, for a total of 550, than to use drugs and destroy your life? Its a small price to pay and im willing to pay it. I have seen each doctor that works here on numerous occasions and they are all nice and caring. The office staff also is very good. You also will not have to sit and wait for hours, like most clinics. Great place to go for addiction help. Good luck!!
