How Can You Get Suboxone | Nashville Addiction Clinic TeleMAT

“How can you get Suboxone?” is a question many Tennesseans suffering from opioid addiction quietly search in the dead of night. At Nashville Addiction Clinic, we understand that the path to recovery often feels hopeless, but Suboxone via telemedicine can be a turning point. In this article, we’ll explain real, accessible answers—no judgment, just a clear path forward—with a focus on people aged 18 to 65 in Tennessee.

What Is Suboxone & Why It Matters

Suboxone (a formulation of buprenorphine + naloxone) is one of the FDA-approved medications used for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) of opioid use disorder. It helps:

Suppress opioid cravings
Prevent or blunt withdrawal symptoms
Offer a safer alternative to illicit opioid use

Because opioid addiction carries a high risk of overdose or death, using an evidence-based medication like Suboxone is not just helpful — it can save lives.

The keys to long-term recovery typically include Suboxone + counseling + clinical support, rather than medication alone.

How Can You Get Suboxone in Tennessee — Step by Step

1. Qualify & prepare for your first telehealth appointment

To begin, you’ll schedule a virtual addiction treatment appointment with our TeleMAT program. We treat men and women aged 18 to 65 across Tennessee — whether in Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Clarksville, or Cookeville. Since many patients lack reliable transportation, telemedicine removes the barrier of driving to a clinic.

We verify your insurance (TennCare or commercial) or self-pay options during registration. See our pages for:

You’ll also see our insurance and pricing options: View insurance and pricing.

2. Virtual intake & clinical evaluation

In your first telemedicine Suboxone session, our board-certified clinicians and master’s-level counselors conduct a full evaluation: medical history, recent opioid use (hydrocodone, morphine, heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, kratom, etc.), mental health screening, and check for risk factors for overdose.

Because we are the first clinic in Tennessee to receive a virtual medical license for addiction telemedicine, you’ll never need to come to a physical clinic. Our six years of stability and reputation — having treated over 1,000 people across Tennessee — means you’re in experienced hands.

We consistently earn over 250 five-star Google reviews. Read our reviews.

3. Same-day prescription & pharmacy delivery

Once approved, Suboxone medications are typically prescribed the same day as your first appointment. You can:

Have the prescription sent to your local pharmacy, or
Opt for overnight delivery directly to your home

You won’t have to drive or endure long waits.

4. Induction & monitoring remotely

We guide you through Suboxone initiation (also called induction) virtually. Our team explains exactly when to begin (once partial withdrawal begins) to minimize discomfort. Because Suboxone has a ceiling effect and safer profile than full agonists, the risk of serious respiratory depression is lower when used correctly.

You will have regular virtual check-ins, counseling sessions, and dose adjustments via telemedicine. We combine telemedicine Suboxone with behavioral therapy (increasing the chance of lasting recovery).

5. Maintenance, tapering, and long-term support

After induction, treatment continues through online Suboxone therapy plus counseling. Many patients remain stable indefinitely; some gradually taper under supervision. Regardless, you will always have support from clinicians who understand addiction, mental health, and life challenges.

Legal & Regulatory Landscape: TeleMAT & Buprenorphine Rules

Understanding the legal side is important.

Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, the federal requirement for a separate “X-waiver” to prescribe buprenorphine (as one of the main components of Suboxone) was removed. (Default)
DEA and HHS issued a final telemedicine rule that permanently makes many COVID-era flexibilities for prescribing buprenorphine available, including remote prescribing of Suboxone via telemedicine to treat opioid use disorder. (samhsa.gov)
The final rule allows a six-month initial prescription of buprenorphine via telehealth, after reviewing the state PDMP (Prescription Drug Monitoring Program). (aasm.org)
However, the effective dates of parts of the rule have been delayed, and many current telehealth flexibilities remain in place through December 31, 2025. (American Hospital Association)
SAMHSA supports prescribing buprenorphine via telehealth as long as prescriptions comply with federal, state, and local regulations. (samhsa.gov)

These updated regulations make telemedicine Suboxone treatment safer, more accessible, and fully legal.

Common myths & truths

Myth	Reality
“You’ll just be trading one addiction for another.”	Suboxone is a partial agonist and much safer, with a ceiling effect.
“You’ll have to come into the clinic.”	Not at Nashville Addiction Clinic — it’s all virtual.
“You can’t get Suboxone if you used fentanyl or methadone.”	We handle transitions from fentanyl, methadone, kratom, etc., using careful protocols.
“Only rich people can afford it.”	We accept TennCare, commercial insurance, self-pay, and offer sliding-scale.
“It’s not legal to start Suboxone online.”	Updated DEA/HHS rules now permit telemedicine Suboxone treatment for opioid use disorder. (hklaw.com)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can you get Suboxone if you live in rural Tennessee (e.g. in Clarksville)?

You can get Suboxone through telemedicine Suboxone—no travel required, virtual visits handled online via mobile or computer.

Is Virtual Suboxone treatment safe?

Yes. It follows federal regulations (PDMP checks, monitoring) and is backed by clinical research. Many providers now offer buprenorphine telehealth with good outcomes.

Will I have to pay upfront?

We accept TennCare, commercial insurance, or self-pay. We also offer a sliding-scale. You’ll know your cost before treatment begins. See pricing.

What if I bought Suboxone illegally before?

You’re not alone. But street Suboxone comes with risks (impurities, wrong dose, legal risk). Our medical Suboxone treatment via telemedicine is safe, legal, and monitored.

How fast can I start?

Often same day. Once your evaluation clears, prescription can be sent to your pharmacy or delivered overnight.

Will I go through withdrawal starting Suboxone?

We instruct you to begin Suboxone when you experience early withdrawal (mild symptoms) — this precipitated withdrawal risk is minimized with proper timing, making induction smooth.

What if I used methadone or fentanyl?

We offer transition protocols for nearly all opioids — methadone, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, kratom, and more.

Do I have to come in-person later?

Under current DEA/HHS telemedicine rules, you may be prescribed for up to six months virtually. After that, an in-person visit or specific telehealth exceptions may apply. (aasm.org)
