Valley Medical and Wellness provides a variety of effective therapies to help you overcome addiction and restore your independence and quality of life. To help stabilize cravings and withdrawals, our providers prescribe proven medications such as Buprenorphine (Suboxone) that let you taper off without adverse symptoms.
