Can You Get Prescribed Suboxone Online? | Nashville Addiction Clinic

Can you get prescribed Suboxone online? Yes — and for many people in Tennessee, that’s no longer a distant hope. At Nashville Addiction Clinic, we’re pioneering TeleMAT (telemedicine medication-assisted treatment) to make safe, effective addiction treatment accessible — even if you don’t have reliable transportation, Medicaid (TennCare), or the means to drive to a clinic every day.

Opioid use disorder is a serious medical condition. Overdose risk, death, and long-term health consequences make rapid access to treatment imperative. In this article, we’ll explain exactly how you can get prescribed Suboxone online, what the process looks like, who’s eligible, and why our clinic in Tennessee is uniquely positioned to help you or someone you care about start recovery from home.

What Does It Mean to “Get Prescribed Suboxone Online”?

When people ask, “Can you get prescribed Suboxone online?”, they’re asking: can a licensed provider evaluate me remotely, prescribe buprenorphine (the active ingredient in Suboxone), and have it delivered or sent to a local pharmacy without ever stepping foot in a brick-and-mortar clinic?

The answer is: Yes — under current federal and state regulations, and that’s exactly what TeleMAT is built for. Our clinic is Tennessee’s first virtual addiction clinic with a telemedicine license, allowing us to treat patients entirely online. You never have to drive to a clinic, and in most cases, your first prescription is sent the same day.

How Is It Legal to Prescribe Suboxone Online?

Legal and Regulatory Background

Under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA 2000), physicians may prescribe buprenorphine (a Schedule III medication) to treat opioid use disorder. (Wikipedia)
In 2025, DEA and HHS issued a final rule expanding access to buprenorphine via telemedicine — allowing providers to initiate up to a six-month prescription via telehealth (audio/video or even audio-only) without requiring an in-person visit (subject to conditions). (samhsa.gov)
Because of procedural delays, the effective date of that rule is postponed until December 31, 2025. However, the telemedicine flexibilities from COVID waivers remain in effect through that date, allowing providers to continue prescribing via telemedicine without requiring in-person visits. (capc.org)
SAMHSA supports telehealth prescribing of buprenorphine under these expanded rules. (samhsa.gov)
The rule requires providers to check Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) data and verify identity before prescribing controlled substances. (American Medical Association)

In short: Yes, it is lawful today (through the telemedicine flexibilities) for clinicians to evaluate you online and prescribe Suboxone, as long as all legal and clinical safeguards are followed. That’s precisely how Nashville Addiction Clinic operates.

Why Choose Online Suboxone Treatment in Tennessee?

Here’s why many people—especially in Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis, and Clarksville—are turning to virtual care:

No need for transportation or long drives
Immediate access — Suboxone can often be prescribed on the same day
Convenience — treatment fits into your life (work, children, family)
Privacy & discretion — no waiting rooms or stigma
Access in under-served areas — people in rural or transit-poor regions get care
Cost-effective — especially for TennCare Medicaid or insured patients

At Nashville Addiction Clinic, we’ve treated over 1,000 Tennesseans with telemedicine for opioid addiction. We are proud to be Tennessee’s first virtual addiction clinic licensed for online addiction treatment. Our team has held this model for nearly six years, building a stable, evidence-based system.

“You never have to come to a clinic once you’re in treatment with us — all care happens virtually.”

What Is the Online Suboxone Process (TeleMAT Model)?

Here’s a typical path for how someone transitions from active opioid use to safe Suboxone treatment entirely online:

Register / schedule your first appointment
- If you have commercial insurance
- If you have TennCare Medicaid
- If you prefer self-pay or don’t have insurance
- (You can also check Insurance and Pricing for more details.)
Secure video appointment
- You meet via telemedicine with a licensed prescriber and a master’s-level counselor.
- We review your medical history, opioid use, and withdrawal risk.
Same-day Suboxone prescription & induction
- If clinically appropriate, we write your Suboxone (buprenorphine + naloxone) prescription immediately and send it to a local pharmacy or arrange overnight delivery to your door.
- You begin induction, transitioning from hydrocodone, heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, or other opioids under medical supervision.
Ongoing virtual follow-up & counseling
- Regular telehealth check-ins with clinician and counselor
- Psychological support from counselors with master’s degrees
- Behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, and life skills
Long-term care & monitoring
- After stabilization, we help you taper, maintain, or adjust treatment
- We coordinate with local resources if needed

Because of this approach, patients never need to set foot in a clinic location after their first appointment. We also offer a sliding-scale program for those with financial constraints. Apply via our [Sliding-Scale Program] page.

FAQs — Can You Get Prescribed Suboxone Online?

Q1: Is it safe to start Suboxone online without a clinic visit?

Yes, when done through a reputable, licensed TeleMAT program. Clinicians must follow federal rules (DATA 2000, DEA, SAMHSA) and verify your history, monitor withdrawal, review PDMP data, and maintain close follow-up. The telemedicine flexibilities in place make it legally safe to start treatment remotely. (telehealth.hhs.gov)

Q2: How fast can I get Suboxone after the first appointment?

In many cases, same day. Our clinicians will assess you during your video call and, if eligible, send the prescription to your local pharmacy or arrange overnight delivery.

Q3: Will I ever need to come in person?

No, you will never need to come to a clinic after your first virtual appointment. Our model is fully remote. Some federal rules require in-person evaluation after six months under new regulations, but existing telemedicine flexibilities extend through December 31, 2025. (capc.org)

Q4: Can people on TennCare Medicaid or commercial insurance use TeleMAT?

Absolutely. We accept TennCare and commercial plans. You can register specifically via our [TennCare Suboxone Telemedicine appointments] or [Commercial Insurance Suboxone Telemedicine appointments]. Insurance details are outlined on our [Insurance and Pricing] page.

Q5: What if I can’t afford treatment?

We offer a sliding-scale program for qualifying individuals. Learn more and apply here: [Sliding-Scale Program].

Q6: What if I purchased Suboxone illegally before?

That’s understandable given desperation — but continuing without medical supervision is risky. When you transition under TeleMAT at Nashville Addiction Clinic, we support you with safe dosing, monitoring, and counseling to avoid misuse or withdrawal complications.

Q7: Does Suboxone eliminate cravings and withdrawal completely?

In many patients, yes — Suboxone (buprenorphine + naloxone) is designed to suppress cravings and ease withdrawal, making it far easier to engage in recovery and therapy. The FDA label cautions that abrupt discontinuation may precipitate withdrawal. (accessdata.fda.gov)

Q8: Is overdose still a risk?

Yes, particularly if misused or combined with other depressants. But being on buprenorphine significantly lowers the risk of overdose and death compared to continued heroin or illicit opioid use. That’s why rapid access to treatment matters. (Federal Register)
