Tele-Medicine and Covid 19

With the COVID-19 disrupting so many peoples lives including our healthcare system, the opioid epidemic continues to silently rage.  That is why now, more than ever, those with substance use disorder are at an even higher risk to their health. To combat that, Addiction Navigators, embraced the technology of tele-medicine for our patients. This online support provides continuous Suboxone treatment.  Even as we get back to “normal” tele-med appointments will continue to make it easier to get help for your addiction and pain management. Rest assured, our doctors are working to make your medication assisted treatment is successful through our online platform. Tele-Medicine allows you to get the care you need from the privacy and safety of your own home – no mask needed.

Using this technology, recovery continues to be more effective and convenient than ever.

“Families and even patients themselves are misinformed about what works and what doesn’t…Few know that the only treatment proven to cut the death rate by half or more—and the one that reduces the risk of relapse the most—is not a bed in a rehab facility, but long-term outpatient treatment with either methadone or buprenorphine.

How does it work?

The adoption of Tele-Medicine – also known as tele-med had made access to your doctor easier than ever. Through the use of a smart phone, ipad, ZOOM, Facetime or desktop computer, you can have a private consultation with your doctor just as you normally would if you made an office visit. Through our tele-medicine platform you can now do this from anywhere and any time! From your backyard or on your lunch break, your pain management or addiction recovery treatment can continue.  This is especially great for people who have limited or no transportation or have a physical challenge.
