New Albany is the Union County seat and the birthplace of William Faulkner. It is also one of dozens of north Mississippi communities where a person looking for medication-assisted treatment has to leave their own town to get it. Life Balance, PLLC sees patients from New Albany and across Union County for Suboxone and the psychiatric care that usually sits underneath the substance use.
We are roughly 40 minutes from New Albany. Same-week appointments are usually available. The same provider sees you every visit — the continuity is the medicine.
One — the medicine
Suboxone for New Albany patients.
Casey Hester, PMHNP-BC, is board-certified in psychiatric mental health and prescribes buprenorphine-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder.
Suboxone (buprenorphine / naloxone).
A daily film or tablet that stops withdrawal and cravings without producing the high. Within an hour of the first correctly-timed dose, the sweating, restlessness, and cold panic of being dope sick turn off. You feel like a person again.
42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality.
Substance use treatment records are protected by a federal rule stricter than standard HIPAA. Employers, family members, and law enforcement cannot access your records without your written consent. This matters in a small town. We take it seriously.

Three — why it works
One provider. Every visit.
The reason most New Albany patients keep making the drive is simple. The person who induces you on Suboxone on day one is the same person you see on day three hundred. No revolving door of strangers. No retelling the worst year of your life to a different face every visit.
Recovery is not a prescription. It's a relationship, a dose, a check-in, a hard conversation, another dose, a reset. The medication does the chemistry. The continuity does the rest.
Four — we also treat
Suboxone is the door. The rest of the work is what keeps you here.
Most of our addiction patients also have something underneath — anxiety, depression, unaddressed trauma, undiagnosed ADHD or bipolar. We treat all of it in the same visit, with the same provider. No separate referral. No second copay.
New Albany, MS · FAQ
Suboxone questions from New Albany
