Murfreesboro doesn’t sit still. Between MTSU’s growing campus, the Nissan plant in Smyrna, the daily commuter flow up I-24 to Nashville, and one of the fastest-growing populations in the Southeast, Rutherford County runs at full speed. Traditional addiction treatment — driving across town to a clinic, sitting in a waiting room, taking off work for follow-ups — doesn’t fit the way people actually live here.

Recovery Care of Columbia is Tennessee’s first 100% telemedicine Suboxone clinic, treating Murfreesboro-area patients entirely through video appointments. No driving down Old Fort Parkway to a waiting room. No taking PTO from your job at Nissan or Vanderbilt to attend a clinic visit. No skipping classes at MTSU. Just licensed Tennessee Suboxone doctors, a secure mobile app, and same-day care from your phone.

Same-day appointments, statewide. Register before noon Central Monday through Friday and you’ll typically meet your provider the same business day. Evening appointments available Monday and Wednesday until 9:00 PM.

Two Clinics, One Mission

Recovery Care of Columbia and Nashville Addiction Clinic are sister clinics — both Joint Commission accredited, both Tennessee licensed, both delivering the same evidence-based opioid addiction treatment. Many of our Murfreesboro-area patients come to us through either brand, depending on which front door they find first.

  • Nashville Addiction Clinic is the option many Middle Tennessee patients recognize — particularly those who commute toward Nashville for work
  • Recovery Care of Columbia is our statewide brand — Tennessee’s first virtual OBOT-licensed addiction treatment program

Whichever clinic you register with, you get the same providers, same medication, same insurance coverage, and same Joint Commission-accredited care. Many Rutherford County patients pick the brand that resonates and the rest takes care of itself.

Why Murfreesboro Patients Choose Telemedicine Suboxone Treatment

Murfreesboro sits at a unique crossroads. You might work at the Nissan plant in Smyrna on rotating shifts. You might be an MTSU student trying to manage a prescription opioid problem without anyone on campus knowing. You might be a Rutherford County teacher who can’t take off work without questions. Or you might be one of thousands of commuters logging hours on I-24 each week.

Telemedicine Suboxone treatment fits all of those realities:

  • No clinic visits, ever. All care happens through your phone, tablet, or computer using the secure Spruce Health mobile app.
  • Same-day appointments that fit around shift work, class schedules, or commuting hours.
  • Total privacy. No one sees you walking into an addiction clinic on Memorial Boulevard or near the Square.
  • Overnight medication delivery to your door (small pharmacy fee), or pickup at any Murfreesboro-area pharmacy.
  • Evening appointments every Monday and Wednesday until 9:00 PM Central — designed for shift workers and working parents.
  • No I-24 traffic required to start or maintain treatment.

What We Treat

Our Murfreesboro-area patients come to us with dependence on:

Whatever brought you here — a prescription that got out of hand after surgery at TriStar StoneCrest, a dependence that started in college at MTSU, a long-term struggle with heroin or fentanyl, or recent issues with kratom from a corner store — we treat it. No judgment, just medicine that works.

How Same-Day Suboxone Treatment Works at Recovery Care

  1. Register online — choose TennCare, commercial insurance, or self-pay. About 5 minutes.
  2. Our staff verifies your insurance — usually within 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Meet your Suboxone provider by video — using the Spruce Health app on your phone. Plan for about 45 minutes.
  4. Your prescription is sent immediately — to your preferred Murfreesboro-area pharmacy (Walgreens on Memorial, CVS on Old Fort, Kroger on South Church, Walmart on Joe B Jackson — any pharmacy in the area), or delivered overnight to your door.
  5. First dose, same day — most patients feel stable and substantially better within hours of their first dose.

We accept all TennCare Medicaid plans (Amerigroup, BlueCare, Wellpoint Community Care, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan) — typically with $0 out of pocket for covered patients.

We also accept most major commercial insurance, including BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Cigna, Aetna, Anthem, Ambetter, Ascension, Oscar, UMR, and UnitedHealthcare. Many Murfreesboro patients use:

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a same-day Suboxone clinic in Murfreesboro?

Yes. Recovery Care of Columbia provides same-day telemedicine Suboxone appointments to Murfreesboro-area patients Monday through Friday. Register before noon Central and you’ll typically meet your provider the same business day, with your prescription sent to a Murfreesboro-area pharmacy immediately after.

Who can prescribe Suboxone in TN?

Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) can be prescribed by any Tennessee-licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant who has completed the required SAMHSA training and registered with the DEA to prescribe controlled substances. At Recovery Care, our prescribing providers are all Tennessee-licensed and operate under one of the state’s first virtual OBOT (Office-Based Opioid Treatment) medical licenses.

What is the 3-day rule for Suboxone?

The “3-day rule” refers to a federal exception allowing physicians to administer (but not prescribe) up to 3 days of Suboxone for emergency management of opioid withdrawal while a patient arranges ongoing treatment. At Recovery Care, this isn’t usually relevant because we offer same-day appointments — Murfreesboro patients can typically get a full Suboxone prescription on day one rather than emergency dosing.

Where can I get Suboxone prescribed online in Murfreesboro?

Recovery Care of Columbia and our sister clinic Nashville Addiction Clinic both prescribe Suboxone online to Murfreesboro-area patients. Both clinics operate under one of Tennessee’s first fully virtual OBOT medical licenses, are Joint Commission accredited, and accept TennCare and most commercial insurance. Register online, attend a video appointment, and your prescription is sent to your local Murfreesboro pharmacy.

Why is Suboxone so hard to get off of?

Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a long-acting partial opioid agonist, which means stopping it abruptly causes withdrawal symptoms similar to other opioids — though typically milder. The reason most patients have difficulty stopping is that Suboxone is treating an underlying medical condition (opioid use disorder), and stopping treatment too early often leads to relapse. The right approach is a slow, supervised taper over months or years, guided by a provider who knows your full history. At Recovery Care, our providers work with each patient on a personalized taper plan when the time is right — never on an arbitrary timeline.

Does TennCare cover Suboxone treatment in Murfreesboro?

Yes. TennCare Medicaid covers 100% of telemedicine Suboxone treatment at Recovery Care, including medical visits, counseling, and the Suboxone prescription itself. Most Rutherford County TennCare patients pay $0 out of pocket. We accept all four TennCare MCOs: Amerigroup, BlueCare, Wellpoint, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.

Can I get Suboxone delivered in Murfreesboro?

Yes. We offer overnight Suboxone delivery to any Murfreesboro-area address through our pharmacy partner. A small pharmacy fee applies for this service. Many of our Rutherford County patients choose this option for privacy and convenience, especially those in rural parts of the county.

What if I work at Nissan, MTSU, or another major Murfreesboro employer?

Your appointments with Recovery Care are fully confidential and never shared with your employer. Most major Murfreesboro employer insurance plans are accepted (Nissan’s BCBS-T or Cigna plans, MTSU’s state-employee plans, Rutherford County Schools, TriStar StoneCrest/HCA, Saint Thomas Rutherford). Treatment is private — your colleagues will not see you walking into a clinic.
