Suboxone for Opioid Use Disorder: How Telehealth Care in NC & Maryland Supports Recovery
Opioid addiction remains one of the most urgent health challenges of our time. For many individuals and families, the road to recovery begins with safe, effective medical treatment and ongoing support. At Oasis Wellness & Behavioral Center, we provide Suboxone treatment—a proven medication-assisted therapy—through secure telehealth services across North Carolina and Maryland, as well as in-person at our Raleigh-Durham outpatient center.
In this article, we’ll explore how Suboxone works, why telehealth can make treatment more accessible, and how our team supports every step of the recovery journey.
Understanding Suboxone and Medication-Assisted Treatment
Suboxone is the brand name for a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, two medications that work together to help individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD).
Buprenorphine eases withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings without producing the intense euphoria that opioids create.
Naloxone discourages misuse by blocking the effects of opioids if someone tries to misuse the medication.
This approach is known as Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Numerous studies show that MAT significantly reduces the risk of relapse and overdose, while improving overall quality of life.
Suboxone is FDA-approved and considered a gold standard of care for OUD. It’s not a quick fix, but a long-term support that, when paired with counseling and behavioral health services, can help individuals rebuild stability, health, and hope.
Why Telehealth Matters in Opioid Recovery
Seeking treatment for opioid use disorder can be challenging. Many people face barriers such as transportation issues, work or childcare responsibilities, or concerns about privacy and stigma. Telehealth helps remove those barriers by making care more accessible, convenient, and discreet.
Benefits of Telehealth for Suboxone Treatment
Flexible scheduling: Attend appointments from home, work, or a private space that fits your life.
Wider reach: Access specialized care even if you live in a rural area of North Carolina or Maryland where providers are limited.
Consistency: Maintain treatment even during illness, travel, or weather-related disruptions.
Confidentiality: Meet with your provider in a secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual environment.
Telehealth isn’t just a stopgap—it’s an essential part of modern healthcare. At Oasis Wellness, we’ve built telehealth into our services to ensure that patients can begin and continue recovery without unnecessary hurdles.
Suboxone Telehealth in North Carolina and Maryland
Oasis Wellness & Behavioral Center is licensed to provide Suboxone treatment in both North Carolina and Maryland, offering care wherever you are in either state.

What to Expect: Our Step-by-Step Process
Recovery is a journey, and our process is designed to be clear, compassionate, and tailored to your needs.
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Your care begins with a detailed telehealth evaluation. We’ll review your health history, substance use background, and goals for recovery. This helps us determine whether Suboxone is right for you and design a safe treatment plan.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
If Suboxone is appropriate, we’ll create a custom dosing schedule, adjusting it to control cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Our providers stay in close communication, ensuring your plan remains effective as you progress.
3. Ongoing Support and Counseling
We believe in whole-person care. Our team can connect you with therapy, support groups, and behavioral health services—either within Oasis Wellness or through trusted partners—so you have the resources to address emotional and social aspects of recovery.
4. Regular Check-ins
Through secure telehealth visits, we monitor your progress, adjust dosages, and provide guidance for long-term success.
Is Suboxone Right for You?
Suboxone can be life-changing, but it isn’t for everyone. Ideal candidates typically:
Are dependent on short-acting opioids like prescription painkillers, heroin, or fentanyl
Are ready to reduce or stop opioid use
Can commit to regular telehealth or in-person follow-ups
If you’re unsure, scheduling an initial consultation can help you understand your options. We’ll answer all questions—judgment-free.
Addressing Concerns About Suboxone Treatment
It’s natural to have questions or concerns about medication-assisted treatment. Some common topics include:
“Am I just replacing one addiction with another?”
No. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, meaning it stabilizes brain chemistry without creating a high when taken as prescribed.“What about side effects?”
Most patients experience only mild effects, such as headache or nausea, which usually resolve quickly. Your provider will discuss any concerns and monitor you closely.“Is it private?”
Yes. Our telehealth platform is HIPAA-compliant and designed for confidentiality.
Telehealth vs. In-Person: Choosing What Works for You
Many of our patients start with telehealth because of convenience. Some choose a hybrid approach—telehealth for most visits and occasional in-person check-ins at our Research Triangle Park (RTP) location.
No matter which format you choose, the quality of care is the same. You’ll have direct access to licensed providers and a support team dedicated to your long-term health.
