Get Your Recovery Delivered to Your Door

Recovery delivered to anyone in Tennessee using online Suboxone Treatment programs accepting TennCare

Recovery Care of Columbia provides a complete virtual opioid addiction treatment program for eligible adults throughout Tennessee. Patients attend medical appointments and counseling through telemedicine while receiving ongoing treatment monitoring and recovery support.

Get recovery delivered to your door today using our trusted, state-licensed Suboxone doctors. A Google search does not always provide the results we’re looking for. A Suboxone doctor is typically a physician at a clinic licensed to provide Suboxone telemedicine treatment to patients in their local state, such as Tennessee. (Learn more about Suboxone at FDA.gov)

A Complete Online Suboxone Treatment Program

Recovery Care of Columbia provides more than an online appointment with a medical provider. Our virtual Suboxone program combines medical treatment, counseling, monitoring, and ongoing recovery support for eligible adults throughout Tennessee.

Treatment is provided through secure telemedicine, allowing patients to attend their medical and counseling appointments from home without traveling to a traditional walk-in clinic. After the initial evaluation, patients continue working with the RCC treatment team through scheduled follow-up visits.

The goal is ongoing treatment of opioid use disorder—not simply obtaining a prescription. Each patient’s treatment plan is based on their clinical needs and may include medication management, individual or group counseling, drug screening, progress monitoring, and continuing follow-up care.

What Is Included in RCC’s Program?

RCC’s online treatment program brings the major components of outpatient opioid addiction treatment together in one virtual program. The exact frequency and services required depend on the patient’s clinical needs, insurance requirements, treatment progress, and individualized care plan.

Medical Evaluation and Follow-Up

Patients meet with a licensed Tennessee medical provider who evaluates opioid-use history, current symptoms, medications, relevant medical history, previous treatment, and other factors needed to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Medical care continues after the first appointment. Follow-up visits allow the provider to evaluate progress, discuss concerns, monitor treatment, and make clinically appropriate adjustments when necessary.

Counseling

Counseling is part of RCC’s continuing recovery program. Patients work with addiction-treatment counselors through telemedicine, allowing counseling to remain integrated with their medical treatment without requiring travel to a clinic.

Depending on the patient’s treatment plan and program requirements, counseling may include individual or group sessions.

Drug Screening and Monitoring

Drug screening and treatment monitoring help the clinical team evaluate treatment progress, medication adherence, substance use, and patient safety. Testing and monitoring requirements can vary according to the patient’s treatment phase, clinical circumstances, and insurance or program requirements.

Individualized Treatment-Plan Monitoring

Recovery is not identical for every patient. RCC monitors each patient’s progress over time rather than applying the same schedule or treatment plan to everyone.

The treatment team can consider factors such as stability, attendance, counseling participation, screening results, symptoms, medication response, and other clinical information when determining ongoing care needs.

Medication Management When Appropriate

Buprenorphine-containing medications such as Suboxone may be used as part of treatment for opioid use disorder when a licensed provider determines they are clinically appropriate.

Medication selection, dose, timing, and changes to treatment are clinical decisions made between the patient and medical provider. Receiving an evaluation does not guarantee a particular medication or prescription.

Continuing Recovery Support

Treatment continues beyond the first prescription or appointment. RCC’s virtual model allows patients to remain connected with their medical providers, counselors, and treatment team as they work toward greater stability and long-term recovery.

How Telemedicine Appointments Work

RCC’s treatment program is delivered through secure telemedicine for eligible adults who are physically located in Tennessee. Patients can complete routine treatment appointments remotely rather than traveling to an RCC walk-in clinic.

Step 1 — Register for Treatment

Begin by completing RCC’s confidential registration process. You’ll provide the information the team needs to determine the appropriate next steps, including insurance or payment information when applicable.

Step 2 — Complete Intake Requirements

Before the medical evaluation, RCC will guide you through the required intake process and explain any documentation, screening, counseling, or other requirements that apply to your treatment.

Step 3 — Attend Your Online Medical Evaluation

Meet with a licensed Tennessee provider through a secure video appointment. The provider reviews your opioid-use history, symptoms, medications, medical history, previous treatment, and other relevant clinical information.

Step 4 — Receive an Individualized Treatment Plan

Your provider determines the appropriate treatment plan based on your evaluation. If medication is clinically appropriate, the provider will discuss medication selection, timing, dosing, safety, and follow-up requirements with you.

Step 5 — Continue Treatment Online

After the initial appointment, treatment continues through scheduled medical follow-ups, counseling, monitoring, drug screening when required, and ongoing communication with the RCC treatment team.

Step 6 — Adjust Care as Your Needs Change

Your treatment plan can change as your recovery progresses. Follow-up frequency, counseling, monitoring, and other aspects of care are based on clinical needs and applicable program or insurance requirements.

Medication, Counseling and Monitoring

Effective opioid-use-disorder treatment involves more than addressing withdrawal symptoms. RCC combines clinician-directed medication treatment when appropriate with counseling and ongoing monitoring to support recovery over time.

Medication can help address opioid withdrawal and cravings for appropriate patients, while counseling gives patients an opportunity to work on the behavioral, emotional, and practical issues that can affect recovery. Monitoring helps the treatment team understand how the patient is progressing and identify concerns that may require additional attention.

These components work together as part of an individualized treatment plan.

Medication Treatment

When clinically appropriate, a provider may prescribe an FDA-approved medication for opioid use disorder. Medication decisions are individualized and are continually evaluated during follow-up care.

Counseling

Counseling provides continuing behavioral-health support alongside medical treatment. Patients can discuss recovery challenges, relapse risks, relationships, stress, work, family responsibilities, and other issues that may affect treatment and long-term stability.

Monitoring

Monitoring may include follow-up medical assessments, drug screening, medication monitoring, counseling participation, and review of treatment progress. The purpose is to support safe, effective care and identify when a treatment plan may need to change.

Important clinical note

Patients should not change their medication dose, stop treatment, or alter how they take prescribed medication without discussing it with their medical provider.

Insurance Plans Accepted

RCC accepts participating TennCare Medicaid and commercial insurance plans for virtual opioid addiction treatment. Coverage, eligibility, benefits, authorization requirements, and patient responsibility can vary by plan and are verified before treatment.

Patients without usable insurance can also access self-pay treatment, and sliding-scale pricing may be available for eligible patients.

TennCare Medicaid

RCC works with participating TennCare Medicaid plans, including BlueCare, Wellpoint, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and Amerigroup Community Care where currently applicable. Eligibility and benefits are verified before treatment.

Commercial Insurance

RCC accepts many commercial insurance plans. Because benefits and network participation can vary between plans and products from the same insurer, RCC verifies the patient’s individual coverage before treatment.

Insurance accepted for online Suboxone treatment

Self-Pay

Patients without insurance or patients who choose not to use insurance may use RCC’s self-pay program. Current self-pay options include $210 every two weeks or $370 every four weeks. Medication and pharmacy charges are separate unless otherwise confirmed.

Self-pay Suboxone treatment options

Sliding Scale

Reduced treatment pricing may be available for qualifying patients through RCC’s sliding-scale program. Eligibility requirements apply.

Urgent online Suboxone treatment is available in Nashville, Columbia, Memphis, Jackson, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and anywhere in Tennessee.

How to Start Treatment

Starting RCC’s online Suboxone program begins with registration—not a trip to a clinic. Eligible Tennessee adults can begin the process from home.

Is RCC Just an Online Suboxone Prescription Service?

No. Recovery Care of Columbia provides an ongoing virtual opioid addiction treatment program. Medication may be one component of treatment when clinically appropriate, but RCC also provides continuing medical follow-up, counseling, monitoring, drug screening when required, and recovery support.

The objective is not simply to obtain a prescription. The objective is to provide continuing treatment that helps patients achieve and maintain greater stability in recovery.

Look for TennCare’s BeSMART Certification

In the state of Tennessee, only aTennCare BeSMART-certified clinic can staff Suboxone doctors who provide online treatment. Yes, thanks to COVID 19 there are or were times when any doctor could provide telemedicine Suboxone treatment, but this was only in case of emergency. To find a truly Suboxone doctor online who can provide 100% telemedicine treatment in the state of Tennessee means their facility must be BeSMART-certified by TennCare Medicaid or TennCare Medicare health insurance.

What is TennCare BeSMART?

BeSMART is an accreditation program that only a select few clinics have undergone in Tennessee that allows them to provide additional benefits and services for their patients. More than just the ability to provide online Suboxone treatment, TennCare’s BeSMART affiliation means the clinic and its Suboxone doctors have passed a stringent quality test, undergo separate audits annually from the State of Tennessee, Amerigroup (Wellpoint), BlueCare (Blue Cross Blue Shield), and UnitedHealthcare. 

It also means they are providing Suboxone treatment at a higher level of quality and service than other clinics in the state of Tennessee. 

TennCare BeSMART Telemedicine Suboxone Benefits for Patients

Recovery Care’s online Suboxone doctors and their patients receive many additional benefits and priorities that can make the difference between decent and fantastic addiction recovery. Here are a few examples of these unique benefits:

  • No prior authorization needed for TennCare Suboxone medications.
  • Priority (express) processing of prior authorizations for Blue Cross Blue Shield and UnitedHealthcare commercial insurance holders.
  • Suboxone medications can be delivered by the pharmacy to your door (typically in one day).

Recovery Delivered and TennCare Medicaid Accepted

TennCare’s spectacular coverage for opioid addiction treatment means that their Medicaid patients receive all of their virtual Suboxone treatment visits and medications at $0 cost. That means you can get recovery delivered using your smartphone, tablet, or PC and pay nothing for your addiction treatment.

That alone can be a savings of over $600 per month when considering the cost for Suboxone treatment without insurance is usually $350 per month or more. Generic versions of Suboxone tablet and film prices change frequently, ranging from $99 to over $200 per month for a patient taking a maintenance dose of 16 mg per day.

The Original (Expensive) Suboxone Sublingual Films

As a cost-saving reference, generic Suboxone tablets and films are far more affordable than the original Suboxone films whose prices have remained mostly unchanged since 2013. For example, a patient taking a typical daily maintenance dose of 16 mg who purchases 56 of the original Suboxone sublingual films can expect to pay $466 or more per month.

The NON-TennCare BeSMART Suboxone Clinic Experience

Imagine it’s your first visit at a clinic without the TennCare BeSmart certification. You’re in withdrawal (or nearing withdrawal) and are in dire need of either Suboxone or your drug of choice. Without getting one of them soon, the terrible discomfort of opioid withdrawal will surely set-in. 

You’ve finished your first appointment with your Suboxone doctor (and hopefully a therapist as well) are now in a hurry to get started on Suboxone medication. The only hang-up is, you’re having to wait for TennCare to approve your prior authorization. It then means waiting another 24-hours before being approved. That means another day of extreme discomfort as a result of opioid withdrawals, making it easy to make the very worst decision: returning to your drug of choice.

The BeSMART Suboxone Clinic Experience

Now, imagine it’s your first visit at a Recovery Care, BeSmart certified clinic. You’re in withdrawal (or close to it) and are in dire need of Suboxone medication to avoid painful opioid withdrawals. You complete your appointment with your Suboxone doctor online, you visit with a licensed therapist, and are ready to get started on Suboxone. Your BeSMART-certified clinic promptly filed your TennCare insurance prior authorization at the beginning of your appointment and your Suboxone medication is approved and ready for pickup at your local pharmacy. 

You start your Suboxone treatment same-day as your first appointment and begin a new way of life that is free from substance abuse. In short, a BeSMART-certified clinic is the only choice for people who want to receive the fastest service, and the highest level of patient service and quality.

Choose Your Suboxone Doctor Online Carefully

Only a Tennessee-licensed, TennCare BeSMART-certified Suboxone doctor online can provide the many benefits listed above that make your opioid addiction recovery the best it can be. You’ll have the confidence of knowing that both your online Suboxone clinic and their prescribers are delivering the highest level of patient care.

Get Your Suboxone Medication Delivered, Too

Recovery Care works with a special pharmacy in Tennessee that can deliver your Suboxone medications to your door. This eliminates the need to drive to the pharmacy, which for some is a stressful experience. Overnight delivery is available to most parts of Tennessee, including Smyrna, Byrdstown, Celina, Viola, Huntland, Livingston, and Lafayette. A delivery fee is imposed by the pharmacy, not the clinic.

A Message from One of the Owners at Recovery Care Clinics of Tennessee

“All Recovery Care Clinics of Tennessee are BeSMART-certified. That’s the only way me and my partner Jon were willing to provide addiction treatment. We knew that thanks to COVID 19 there may possibly be the possibility of telemedicine addiction treatment using Suboxone coming in the future.

Thankfully, we were BeSMART-certified long before TennCare and the associated state laws in Tennessee allowed for online addiction treatment, making it easy for us to transition our clinics quickly to begin providing online addiction treatment. We offer this to all of our new patients, and have transitioned most of our existing population to Suboxone telemedicine, saving them time, money, and unneeded hassles. 

We know from personal experience that providing convenient online addiction treatment paired with excellent service to our patients translates into great recovery.

To make sure we keep this promise to our addiction patients, we undergo five audits at each clinic every year, as well as meet with the BeSMART executive team regularly. Why do we care about offering BeSMART benefits to our patients? Because we are in recovery, too!

Jon and I clearly remember our Suboxone clinic experiences as patients. We hated every visit. The concept of recovery delivered to your home was not even possible at the time.

We remember having to leave work, spending up to three hours in a waiting room, the many hassles we’d endure at our pharmacies, having to wait a whole day for our prior authorizations to get approved, and having to pay cash (over $400) for our prescriptions to avoid opioid withdrawal.

Worst of all, we remember feeling like cattle, being given a number and told to wait our turn, feeling “dirty” when we went to our Suboxone clinic appointments, and feeling judged.

We also remember being treated rudely by many staff members at the clinics we visited. Though Jon and I didn’t know each other at the time, we both wished we had more choices for our opioid addiction treatment. Online Suboxone treatment wasn’t even an idea before COVID 19. Had it been an option for either Jon or I, we would have jumped at the opportunity.

“I love thinking about our patients being at home or at work during their appointments, knowing they are safe, knowing that if there’s a delay, they at least have the option to watch TV, empty their dishwasher, play with their children, or something else that’s productive, instead of waiting in one of our waiting rooms, which are very clean and comfortable by the way. Best of all, I love knowing that every patient is treated with kindness and respect by our friendly-amazing staff. 

Perhaps our only regret is having spent so much money on our clinic furniture and decorations since hardly anyone sees it anymore!

In short, we’re here because of our experience as Suboxone patients. Our bad clinic experiences are what led to our opening Recovery Care Clinics of Tennessee with the plans and expectations that we could deliver better, faster, kinder, more-respectful care to all of our patients, no matter what.

If someone relapses, we lift them up instead of putting them down. When they have a bad day, we try our best to make it better. Many times, our patient’s do the very same thing for us, and we appreciate it. We recognize everyone has a choice as to where they get their recovery.

We feel it is an honor to be trusted with someone’s recovery. Our patient’s are precious to us. We want every patient to have the best experience possible, knowing we can always improve. Our aim to deliver exceptional patient care is why we’re here.”
