Telehealth Addiction Treatment in Tennessee: A Private, Effective Path to Recovery

Telehealth addiction treatment has transformed how people across Tennessee access care for opioid addiction—especially for those who feel stuck, ashamed, or unable to travel. If you or someone you love is struggling with opioids, virtual treatment can provide real medical support without the barriers of traditional clinics.

Across Tennessee, including communities like Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Clarksville, more people are choosing telemedicine-based addiction care because it works—and because it meets them where they are.

• Statewide access across Tennessee
• Accredited by The Joint Commission

What Is Telehealth Addiction Treatment?

Telehealth addiction treatment allows patients to receive evidence-based care for opioid addiction entirely online. Through secure video appointments, licensed medical providers evaluate symptoms, review history, and prescribe medications like Suboxone when appropriate.

Fast-Online Registration for Same-Day Suboxone Prescriptions

• TennCare Medicaid addiction treatment coverage
• Commercial insurance Suboxone program acceptance
• A payment plan for self-pay telemedicine Suboxone
• A sliding-scale program for eligible patients

You can review insurance and pricing details before scheduling, so there are no surprises. 

If you have TennCare Medicaid insurance, your treatment and medication costs are typically $0. If you have commercial health insurance, we will provide you with a treatment cost estimate before scheduling your first telemedicine appointment. If you don’t have health insurance, we offer biweekly and monthly payment plans.

How Telemedicine Removes Barriers to Treatment

Many people delay treatment because of:

• Transportation challenges
• Work schedules
• Childcare responsibilities
• Fear of stigma
• Lack of nearby clinics

Telehealth eliminates these obstacles, allowing patients to begin treatment from home using a smartphone or computer.

How Suboxone Supports Recovery Through Telehealth

Suboxone is a FDA-approved medication that reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings, helping stabilize patients so they can focus on recovery.

Safe Transitions From Other Opioids

With proper medical guidance, Suboxone can be started when transitioning from:

• Hydrocodone
• Oxycodone
• Percocet or OxyContin
• Morphine or codeine
• Heroin or fentanyl
• Methadone
• Kratom or 7-OH

Telehealth addiction treatment ensures this process is monitored safely and responsibly.

Nashville Addiction Clinic has:

• Over six years serving Tennessee patients
• Treated 1,000+ individuals successfully
