Medicaid Addiction Treatment: Safe, Affordable Recovery for Rural Tennesseans
If you or someone you love is searching for Medicaid addiction treatment in Tennessee, help is available—without leaving your home. Through Recovery Care of Columbia’s virtual Suboxone program, you can receive evidence-based care from a Joint Commission-accredited clinic, even if you live in a remote area and lack transportation.
Why Medicaid Addiction Treatment Is a Lifeline for Rural Communities
Opioid addiction has devastated rural Tennessee—especially in towns like Ripley, Ethridge, Red Boiling Springs, Jackson, and Three Way. Many residents face barriers such as low income, past trauma, mental health issues, and limited access to in-person clinics. But TennCare, Tennessee’s Medicaid program, now covers online Suboxone treatment, making recovery more accessible than ever.
With Medicaid, patients can access:
- Suboxone prescriptions that ease opioid withdrawal and stop cravings
- Virtual appointments from a phone, tablet, or computer
- Access to licensed counselors for individual and group therapy
- Comprehensive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) plans
- Ongoing TeleMAT services for long-term support
What Is TeleMAT and How Does It Work?
TeleMAT (Telemedicine Medication-Assisted Treatment) combines Suboxone therapy with online counseling. This treatment model is ideal for people who:
- Live in remote areas or don’t drive
- Are raising children and can’t leave home
- Work jobs with limited time off
- Need discreet, private treatment to avoid stigma
With Recovery Care of Columbia, patients can start treatment quickly, often the same day they register.

Opioid Addiction Is Deadly—But It’s Treatable
If you’ve been taking opioids like Percocet, fentanyl, methadone, OxyContin, or even Kratom, you’re not alone. Many Tennesseans became addicted after surgery, injuries, or pain management—through no fault of their own.
But the risks are serious:
- Overdose is a leading cause of death among opioid users
- Mixing opioids with other drugs or alcohol increases danger
- Street Suboxone may be unsafe, counterfeit, or ineffective
You deserve safe, legal treatment—and Suboxone works. It virtually eliminates withdrawal and cravings, especially when transitioning from opioids like hydrocodone, heroin, or Tramadol.

Sobriety is easier when you’re not doing it alone.
