Do you treat patients in Washington DC?
Yes, anywhere in Washington DC. Capitol Hill, Anacostia, Columbia Heights and Georgetown, and all eight wards.

How it works in Washington DC
01. Care that starts in days, not weeks
Book online and you can often be seen the same day. No waitlist, no call-back, no one deciding whether you're ready.
02. A first visit that stays between you and your provider
Meet by video from wherever you are. You'll talk about the medication support you need and what you want treatment to look like, with someone whose job is to help you get there. No travel, no waiting room.
03. Medication, however you want it
If you and your provider agree Suboxone is right for you, have it delivered to your door or pick it up at a pharmacy near you.
04. Support that stays with you
Follow-ups happen the same way, by video, on a schedule you and your provider set.
Care in your corner
Since 2019 we've taken the obstacles out of getting Suboxone. It's the medication treatment guidelines put first, and it's still hard to get. If you've tried before, you already know the list.
- Distance, so visits are by video.
- The pharmacy counter, so medication can come to you.
- Insurance, so the price is flat and doesn't rely on coverage or approvals.
And the care itself: clinical leadership from addiction medicine, so what you're going through is understood rather than guessed at.
In a federal study of Medicare patients who started opioid use disorder care during the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC, CMS and the National Institute on Drug Abuse found telehealth care was linked to a 33 percent lower risk of fatal overdose.
What Suboxone treatment costs in Washington DC
You'll see what your visit costs, and what your medication costs, before you pay for anything.
1. Your medication
From $59 a month, delivered, and never marked up. Or use your own pharmacy.
2. Your visits
Your first visit is $89, and you pay for each visit when you book it. After that it depends on how often you and your provider meet.
- New to Suboxone · $50 a week, or $75 every two weeks
You'll meet more often at the start, while your dose settles.
- Already taking Suboxone · $89 a month
Switching providers? Your first visit starts with what you're on now. Once things are steady, you meet monthly.
Insurance in Washington DC
Visits are cash pay, and you don't need insurance to start. At your own local pharmacy, commercial insurance may cover your medication. A flat visit price doesn't change when a plan changes, a deductible resets or a job ends.
Pharmacies and home delivery in Washington DC
Two ways, and you pick. Our pharmacy ships to your address in Washington DC, or your provider sends the prescription to a pharmacy near you.
If a pharmacy turns you away, tell us. We can send it somewhere else the same day, or switch you to delivery.
Opioid treatment in Washington DC: the numbers
On a single day in 2024, 34 people were receiving buprenorphine at Washington DC's opioid treatment programs. 1,223 were on methadone.
Distance is the obstacle we took out first. A video visit reaches the same medication, wherever you are in Washington DC.
Washington DC rules for prescribing Suboxone by video
Yes, under federal rules. A provider registered with the DEA can prescribe buprenorphine after a video visit, with no in-person appointment first. That has been the rule since the pandemic and it was extended again at the end of 2025.
Under the DEA's telemedicine rule for Suboxone (21 CFR 1306.51), providers must check Washington DC's prescription monitoring database before prescribing. We do it for every patient, before every prescription.
If you need something we can't give you
We only do one thing: Suboxone by video. If you need a different kind of help today, these are the places to start. We don't run any of them and we don't take anything for sending you.

Questions people ask
Can I get Suboxone online in Washington DC?
Yes. You meet a licensed nurse practitioner or doctor by video, from wherever you are in Washington DC, and Suboxone is FDA-approved for opioid use disorder.
How soon can I see a provider in Washington DC?
Often the same day. You pick an open time yourself and join the video call from your phone, tablet or laptop.
How much does Suboxone treatment cost in Washington DC?
Your first visit is $89. After that, how often you meet follows a set schedule, and your provider may adjust it to fit your care. See the full schedule on our pricing page. Delivered medication starts at $59 a month, or you can use your own pharmacy.
Do I need insurance to start?
You don't need insurance to access care here. Most of our patients pay cash, so insurance never holds you back from getting started. If you have commercial insurance, you can choose to use it for medication at your local pharmacy.
Can I use my own pharmacy?
Yes. You can send your prescription to a pharmacy near you, and if you have commercial insurance, you can choose to use it there. Or have it delivered to your door, from $59 a month.
Do I have to do counseling or go to groups?
No. We keep the focus on your medication, because staying on it makes a real difference. Researchers who followed nearly 9,000 people on buprenorphine found that those who stayed on it longer went to the emergency room less often after they stopped, according to the American Journal of Psychiatry . So we make it easy to keep going. If you want therapy or groups too, we'll point you to them.
Do I have to join a membership to be part of this program?
No. You don't sign up for anything beyond your visits. No membership, no subscription, and no required therapy or groups. If you want that kind of support, we'll point you to it. If you don't, your care keeps going.
Is it hard to find Suboxone treatment in DC?
It can be. In a 2024 federal survey, only 8 of DC's 29 addiction treatment centers offered buprenorphine with naloxone, the medicine in Suboxone. A video visit doesn't depend on which of those centers is near you.
