TennCare Suboxone Telemedicine: Recovery from Anywhere in Tennessee
If you’re searching for TennCare Suboxone telemedicine options in Tennessee, you’ve already taken a powerful first step toward recovery. At Recovery Care of Columbia, we make opioid addiction treatment simple, private, and affordable for TennCare Medicaid patients who need help but can’t always travel to a clinic. You can start your recovery today—from home, work, or anywhere you have an internet connection.
What Is TennCare Suboxone Telemedicine?
TennCare Suboxone telemedicine allows people covered by Tennessee Medicaid (TennCare) to meet with licensed Suboxone doctors online instead of visiting a clinic in person. During these secure virtual appointments, patients meet with compassionate clinicians, receive Suboxone prescriptions, and access ongoing counseling—all from their phone, tablet, or computer.
Suboxone, approved by the FDA, combines buprenorphine and naloxone to help eliminate opioid withdrawal and cravings safely. This approach has helped millions of people rebuild their lives, avoid relapse, and prevent overdose. According to the DEA and SAMHSA, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is one of the most effective ways to reduce opioid-related deaths and long-term addiction.
Why Recovery Care of Columbia Is Tennessee’s Leader in Telemedicine Addiction Treatment
Recovery Care of Columbia was the first addiction treatment clinic in Tennessee to receive a virtual medical license—allowing us to treat patients completely through telemedicine. Over the past six years, we’ve helped more than 1,000 Tennesseans overcome opioid addiction.

What Is TeleMAT?
Recovery Care of Columbia created the acronym TeleMAT, short for Telemedicine Medication-Assisted Treatment. It’s now a widely used term for addiction treatment delivered 100% through secure video or phone appointments.
TeleMAT combines:
-
Medication: Suboxone for stabilization and withdrawal control
-
Counseling: Therapy sessions with master’s-level counselors
-
Accountability: Regular follow-ups and supportive care
-
Accessibility: No waiting rooms, no travel, and no stigma
Our TennCare Suboxone telemedicine model makes recovery accessible to adults aged 18 to 65 across every county in Tennessee.
The Real Cost of Active Addiction
Addiction costs more than money—it takes away jobs, relationships, and health. On average, people addicted to opioids may spend $50 to $200 per day just to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Over time, that can mean thousands of dollars lost every month.
In contrast, TennCare covers Suboxone telemedicine treatment, making recovery not just safer but also financially sustainable. Treatment is truly cheaper—and far less painful—than active addiction.

A Note About Kratom/7-Hydroxymitragynine Addiction
Kratom/7-OH/7-hydroxymitragynine addiction is now being treated by Suboxone thanks to its highly-addictive properties. Though it’s unregulated and is being sold at gas stations and convenience stores, there are examples of 7-hydroxymitragynine being up to 50-times stronger than heroin. Kratom labeling often lacks mention of a particular strength or dosage, leaving users unsure of which strain and/or strength they are consuming.
