Our outpatient addiction medicine clinic in Albuquerque, NM provides evidence-based treatment for addiction to opioids like fentanyl, heroin, and oxycodone, and stimulants like methamphetamine and cocaine. We also provide medication-assisted treatment for alcohol withdrawal and relapse prevention.
Ideal Option providers in Albuquerque may prescribe a variety of medications, including Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade® or Brixadi® (buprenorphine), Vivitrol® (naltrexone), disulfiram, acamprosate, gabapentin, bupropion, and many others. We can also help methadone patients transition safely to buprenorphine, but we do not dispense or prescribe methadone.
As specialists in addiction medicine since 2012, Ideal Option treats all patients with empathy, care and respect – never judgment. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, and offer payment plans for those who need it. Best of all, most new patients can start treatment at our Albuquerque clinic within 1-3 days.

Meet the Team
Sara Fissel, PA-C, MPH
Addiction Medicine Provider
"Previous to joining Ideal Option, I worked to expand access to buprenorphine treatment in a hospital setting because I know addiction medicine saves lives. There is a huge need in our community right now, and I'm grateful to join a team that believes in harm reduction practices and sees our patients as whole people and not just a chronic disease."
