If you’re struggling with opioid addiction and searching for a solution, Suboxone via telehealth from Recovery Care of Columbia can be the lifeline you’ve been looking for. Designed specifically for people living in rural Tennessee, this virtual treatment option offers discreet, compassionate, and effective care without requiring you to leave your home.

Why Suboxone via Telehealth Works So Well

Opioid addiction is a complex, chronic illness—not a personal failure. Whether your addiction started with a prescription for pain after surgery, an injury, or you grew up around drug use, you’re not alone—and help is closer than you think.

Suboxone is a proven medication that:

Reduces opioid withdrawal symptoms
Minimizes cravings
Supports long-term recovery when paired with counseling

Telehealth makes accessing Suboxone safe, easy, and fast—especially if you:

Don’t have reliable transportation
Live far from a treatment clinic
Are raising children or working multiple jobs
Have TennCare, private insurance, or are considering self-pay

Recovery Care of Columbia is accredited by The Joint Commission, meaning you’ll receive high-quality, evidence-based addiction care from licensed professionals who understand what you’re going through.

Who Can Benefit From Virtual Suboxone Treatment?

You can. If any of the following statements sound familiar, it’s time to consider Suboxone via telehealth:

“I’m afraid of going into withdrawal.”
“I’m tired of chasing pills or buying Suboxone on the street.”
“I want to stop using for my kids.”
“I’ve tried to quit before, but the cravings are too strong.”
“I know I need help, but I can’t go to in-person rehab.”

You may be a parent, someone with a criminal record, or someone hiding their addiction from family or coworkers. Suboxone treatment is private, nonjudgmental, and available from your phone.

Recovery Care of Columbia serves men and women aged 18–60 from all walks of life, especially in smaller towns and rural counties around Tennessee—including cities like Bulls Gap, Church Hill, Gallatin, Erin, Gainesboro, and Waverly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Suboxone, and how does it work?

Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. It binds to the same brain receptors as opioids but without the high—reducing withdrawal and cravings.

Is Suboxone treatment confidential?

Yes. Virtual Suboxone care is 100% private. You can join appointments from your home, and your information is protected by law.

How long does it take to feel better?

Many patients feel relief within hours after beginning Suboxone—especially when transitioning from short-acting opioids like heroin, hydrocodone, or fentanyl.

“I took Suboxone for the first time while eating lunch. I was nearly in full withdrawal and could barely eat. Twenty minutes into my lunch I noticed my appetite started coming back, my legs stopped shaking, and the hair on my arms was no longer standing up. I felt a relief I hadn’t felt in over thirteen years. By the end of my lunch, I felt like a brand new person. I couldn’t believe how great I felt. That happened on January 9, 2014, and I’ve been clean ever since. I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t found Suboxone. Suboxone saved my life. Therapy changed my life.”
– – Drew Bourke, Co-Owner/President of Recovery Care of Columbia

Do I have to go to a clinic?

Never. Everything—from medical evaluation to counseling—is handled virtually through your phone, tablet, or computer.

What if I’ve tried Suboxone before and it didn’t work?

Success often depends on the dosage and support system. Our TeleMAT program includes therapy, support groups, and compassionate providers who stay with you every step of the way. Your provider will evaluate your dosage based on many factors, including:

Your current drug of choice (short-acting vs. long-acting)
Amount and frequency of current and past usage
Time since your last use
Withdrawal severity using the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale – COWS

Understanding the Dangers of Opioid Addiction

The opioid epidemic continues to devastate Tennessee. According to the CDC, opioid overdoses remain a leading cause of accidental death. Many people don’t survive their next dose—especially if using fentanyl-laced drugs purchased on the street. Fentanyl-laced drugs (heroin, fake/pressed pills) can be fatal when containing 2mg of fentanyl or more. Buying these drugs on the street is literally gambling with your life.

According to DEA.gov, 5 out of every 10 fake/pressed pills contain a lethal dose of fentanyl. Fake/pressed pills can look nearly identical to their pharmaceutical counterparts. Fake/pressed pills containing fentanyl are being that look identical to OxyCodone, OxyContin, Tylox, Percodan, Valium, Xanax, Restoril, Ativan, Klonopin, Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine, Focalin, Metadate, Methylin, Ritalin, and many others.

If you or someone you love is living in addiction, it’s not too late. Suboxone via telehealth can be the first step toward a safer, healthier life.
