About Bobby Buonauro Clinic Inc

Bobby Buonauro Clinic is an outpatient opioid treatment program in Evanston, Illinois, serving people across the Chicago area who are struggling with dependence on heroin and prescription opioids such as OxyContin, Dilaudid, and hydrocodone. They view addiction as a medical condition shaped by personal, social, economic, and cultural pressures rather than a moral failing. Their harm-reduction philosophy counts any positive step as progress and lets each person decide what change looks like for them. They offer treatment on demand, with an emphasis on protecting each patient’s dignity and self-respect.

Their core services are methadone maintenance, a methadone detoxification program, and buprenorphine (Suboxone) treatment, each paired with counseling and education that address the behavioral side of addiction. The detox program provides daily methadone dosing and counseling support for up to 180 days, gradually lowering the dose with the goal of becoming free of opioids. Maintenance treatment is often long-term; many patients stay on methadone for a year or more, and some continue indefinitely before tapering under the clinic’s supervision. They also guide patients on safety concerns such as mixing methadone with alcohol or benzodiazepines, secure storage at home, and the benefits of treatment during pregnancy.
