A New Beginning... A New Outlook... A New You... OWNERSHIP AND ORGANIZATION President & Founder   Dr. Michael Slater Kaplan, M.D., Ph.D. As both a Board Certified Physician specializing in Drug Detoxification, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Services, Board Certified in Medical Acupuncture and as an established Medical Researcher and Medical Director, Dr. Kaplan provides leadership and direction to the staff of The Subox-Detox Center. Dr. Kaplan is also Detox Certified by physician(s) authorized to prescribe Buprenorphine by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for buprenorphine, an office-based medical treatment for addiction to prescription pain relievers and other opiate drugs. He is a Medical Review Officer (Certification Council (MROCC)’s Examination) and Member of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). About The Subox-Detox Center The Subox-Detox Center offers a variety of high quality services to assist you in your mission to reclaim your individuality. Your dependence and obsession to seek out non-prescription opioids has controlled your thoughts at the expense of more natural body processes. This overwhelming urge to take street drugs is a form of self medication to treat yourself medically. Perhaps the underlying disorder that began this self treatment was depression, anxiety or lack of self confidence but now the opioids have created a new drive based on addiction. And new brain pathways that serve only to fill the void that withdrawal creates and avoid those unpleasant new feelings due to the this cycle of addiction. Our Services may include Acupuncture, Massage, Biofeedback, Mood Medications and SUBOXONE. The restructuring of your brain is a complex process that needs time, treatment and the proper environment. Dr. Kaplan's medical background and ground breaking research on ion brain regeneration will help combine these methodologies to tailor an outpatient program specifically suited for you. While Methadone must be administered at a government approved clinic and generally requires patients to return daily to get their doses, SUBOXONE can be prescribed by a doctor in the office and does not require the patient to return daily. Once the maintenance dose is determined, a doctor can prescribe a patient SUBOXONE for an extended period. This drug is better tolerated by patients, gives them more freedom, and makes them feel "normal but not high. Description of Our Location The Subox-Detox Center is located in the heart of downtown historic Catonsville, Maryland. We're in the midst of Baltimore and Washington D.C.'s thriving commerce, but not far from quaint historic Ellicott City.
