EK Clinic strives to provide addiction recovery assistance to those living with depression, and opioid and alcohol substance use disorders, using evidence-based methods and FDA-approved medications, such as Suboxone® and other buprenorphine products.
Our confidential and convenient addiction recovery outpatient programs allow individuals with families and other responsibilities to access care and treatment for their addiction while maintaining their personal lives. We believe everyone who lives with addiction deserves a compassionate and dedicated support team to help them get their lives back on track.
Office-Based Opioid Treatment Programs – also called OBOTs – are a type of outpatient addiction recovery treatment designed for people living with opioid use disorder (OUD).

Accessibility
OBOT can increase access to treatment for people who may not be able to attend a clinic daily, potentially reducing the stigma associated with seeking help for addiction.
Comprehensive Care
While OBOT focuses on medication and individual counseling, it’s important to remember that MAT, in general, aims to address the addiction recovery through a holistic approach.
Medications
Both MAT and OBOT may utilize medications (like Suboxone or Ketamine), which help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and prevent relapse.
In essence, OBOT is a way to bring MAT services to patients in a more accessible and convenient way, often within a primary care setting, while still offering comprehensive care.
Studies show that in comparison to treatment without medication, people with OUD who participate in OBOT programs utilizing Suboxone® show improvements in:
