TeleMAT Tennessee: A Virtual Lifeline for Opioid Addiction Recovery

On September 1, 2025

Opioid addiction has devastated countless families across Tennessee, but with TeleMAT Tennessee, recovery has never been more accessible. Nashville Addiction Clinic has pioneered a groundbreaking telemedicine approach that helps people overcome opioid dependence without ever stepping foot in a clinic.

Whether you live in Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga, Jackson, Murfreesboro, or Clarksville, our program brings professional, compassionate care directly to your mobile device.

What Is TeleMAT Tennessee?

TeleMAT Tennessee is short for telemedicine medication-assisted treatment. Nashville Addiction Clinic actually coined the acronym TeleMAT over six years ago, and today it’s widely used across the addiction treatment field.

We were the first clinic in Tennessee licensed to provide Suboxone treatment entirely through telemedicine. That means patients:

Never need to drive to a clinic
Can attend appointments from the privacy of their home
Receive Suboxone prescriptions electronically
Gain access to licensed counselors with master’s degrees
Get support from a staff who understands addiction personally—because our clinic owners are in recovery too

Why Opioid Addiction Treatment Matters Now

Opioid addiction is more than a personal struggle—it’s a public health crisis. The DEA reports that fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and is now the leading cause of overdose deaths in America. Every day of delay puts lives at risk.

Opioids like hydrocodone, morphine, methadone, oxycodone, heroin, and fentanyl can cause devastating withdrawals and even death from overdose. Many Tennesseans have turned to the streets, buying Suboxone illegally just to avoid sickness. But there is a safer way.
