Online opioid addiction treatment from licensed virtual clinicians

If you’re dealing with opioid use disorder (OUD), starting buprenorphine-based medication is one of the most effective ways to manage cravings and withdrawal. But dealing with long waits for appointments and crowded clinics can feel overwhelming.

Ophelia provides online opioid addiction treatment so you get evidence-based care from the comfort of your home. You’ll have access to licensed clinicians, proven medication, and ongoing support to help you start feeling like yourself again. Connect with a clinician specialized in OUD and start treatment within days.

How online opioid addiction treatment works

At Ophelia, care for OUD is designed to fit into your daily life without adding stress. Here’s how the process works.

Step 1
Check your insurance coverage

Our team reviews your insurance to confirm whether your plan covers buprenorphine treatment. We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid. Many people pay less than $10 a month for care through Ophelia.

Step 2
Meet your MAT care team

You schedule an appointment with a licensed clinician who specializes in OUD treatment. Within one to three days, you’re matched with a provider who reviews your medical history, lifestyle, and goals via secure video chat. If medication is appropriate, your provider designs a personalized, evidence-based plan tailored to your needs. Every visit happens from your phone, your couch, or wherever you feel most comfortable.

Step 3
Begin your medication plan + get ongoing support

If buprenorphine is part of your treatment plan, your clinician sends a prescription to your local pharmacy of choice. Your care team stays in touch throughout this process to help prevent delays and make sure you can start medication smoothly. Your dedicated provider checks in regularly, monitors your progress, and adjusts your plan as needed. Help is available seven days a week.

What our patients are saying

I have been a patient with Ophelia for over a year now, and I can say with total confidence that they have been a vital part of my journey.

This place is like no other, humanity, respect, dignity and friendship. I love my monthly meetings. They dont make you feel ashamed or embarrassed for choices made in the past.

Ophelia has been a life saver for me! Very friendly, respectful, and professional. Easy to work with, and great with scheduling. Very highly recommend for your recovery journey.

I’ve been with Ophelia Health for about 2½ years, and they’ve been amazing. Their online Suboxone treatment makes appointments and prescription refills easy, which has helped me stay sober.

I prefer this method over a methadone clinic or going to the streets to get something that could kill me. Highly recommended for people who are willing to get off the street drugs.

Frequently asked questions

What medications are used to treat opioid addiction?

Common medications used to treat OUD are buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. All three are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but only buprenorphine and methadone are associated with significant reductions in opioid-related deaths.

Our clinicians most commonly prescribe buprenorphine/naloxone (brand name Suboxone). Buprenorphine reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms and is associated with overdose reductions of 50% or more, while naloxone helps deter misuse. When taken as part of a comprehensive OUD treatment plan, Suboxone supports long-term maintenance and lowers misuse.

Your care team will help you determine which medicine is covered by your insurance, tolerable to take, and effective at managing your symptoms.

Is telehealth treatment for opioid addiction as effective as in-person?

Yes. Research shows that OUD treatment delivered through secure video visits offers similar or better retention when compared to in-person care.

One review of 135 buprenorphine-treated patients showed comparable retention rates for telehealth and in-person care. Telehealth was also shown to decrease costs by reducing transportation and indirect expenses. Another analysis of Medicaid data found that people who started buprenorphine after a virtual visit were more likely to stay in treatment longer than those who started medication after an in-person appointment.

Can I start treatment the same day I sign up?

Most new patients can meet with an Ophelia clinician within one to three days. Treatment starts after a full clinical evaluation to make sure medication is appropriate and timed correctly.

Is it legal to get opioid addiction treatment online?

Yes, current federal regulations allow qualified providers to prescribe buprenorphine online to individuals with OUD. This approach is supported by leading addiction medicine professional groups, as telehealth visits have been shown to reduce opioid overdose.

Do I ever need to come in person?

No, opioid addiction treatment through Ophelia is 100% virtual. We’re adamant about privacy, and we never require you to visit a physical clinic. Frankly, it’s nobody’s business if you’re receiving treatment.

What insurance is accepted for online opioid treatment?

Ophelia accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial insurance plans. Coverage varies by plan, but many patients pay less than $10 per month for care. Our team confirms your benefits before your first visit.
