Suboxone is a Schedule III controlled substance, which means pharmacies and providers are subject to specific rules about how it's dispensed. That's appropriate — but it creates real frustration for patients who are doing everything right and still can't get a timely refill.
Common problems patients tell us about:
New York emergency dispensing law: If you have a valid prior prescription, your NYC pharmacy is required to provide up to a 5-day emergency supply of buprenorphine while you arrange a new provider. This gives you time — but act fast. It's a bridge, not a solution.
Choose a same-day slot on our booking page. The whole process takes about 2 minutes. You'll receive a secure video link immediately.
Your appointment is with Dr. Edward Ratush — the same physician every time. He'll review your current dose, any changes in your situation, and confirm your refill. New patients should have their current medication information ready; established patients just need to show up.
Dr. Ratush sends your prescription via EPCS (electronic prescribing for controlled substances) to any licensed NYC pharmacy. You can use your regular pharmacy — CVS, Walgreens, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, or any neighborhood independent.
Most NYC pharmacies fill buprenorphine prescriptions within a few hours. In some cases, same-day pickup is available within an hour. If your pharmacy is out of stock, we can send the prescription to an alternate location.
Buprenorphine-naloxone (the generic form of Suboxone) is widely available in NYC, but specific formulations and brand names can sometimes be out of stock at individual locations. If your pharmacy can't fill it, Dr. Ratush's team can reroute the prescription to another pharmacy that has it. We know which pharmacies in NYC reliably stock buprenorphine and can help you find one quickly.
Both. Existing SuboxoneNYC members get streamlined refill appointments (typically 10–15 minutes with Dr. Ratush). New patients — including patients transferring from another provider — can be seen for a first visit and prescription on the same day they book. We don't require prior records, though they're helpful.
If you need a refill because you've lost access to your previous prescriber, the fastest next step is to start intake now.
