Baltimore, MD: Maryland's Epicenter of the Opioid Crisis

Baltimore City has the highest opioid overdose death rate in Maryland — and consistently ranks among the highest of any major U.S. city. The fentanyl crisis has made access to buprenorphine treatment more urgent than ever: every day without treatment is a day of elevated overdose risk.

Icon Medicine delivers FDA-approved MAT directly to Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents via secure telehealth. Same-day buprenorphine (Suboxone) and naltrexone are available without a trip to a clinic, without a waiting list, and without stigma. Whether you're in Fells Point, Hampden, Dundalk, or Towson, you can start treatment today from home.

Our board-certified provider is DEA-licensed and experienced in treating opioid use disorder, kratom dependence, and co-occurring conditions — with 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality protections for every patient.

OUD Medications Available to Baltimore Patients

Icon Medicine prescribes FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder. Your provider will recommend the most clinically appropriate option based on your history, goals, and health profile.

Buprenorphine (Suboxone)

Daily sublingual film or tablet. Reduces cravings and withdrawal, blocks opioid effects. The most widely prescribed OUD medication via telehealth.

Daily sublingual

Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone)

Combination film containing both buprenorphine and naloxone. Naloxone deters misuse while buprenorphine manages OUD. Standard first-line treatment.

Combination film

Naltrexone (Oral)

Daily pill for OUD maintenance after full detox. Blocks opioid receptors, eliminating euphoria. Best for patients who have completed withdrawal.

Daily pill

Vivitrol (Injectable)

Monthly extended-release naltrexone injection for OUD maintenance. One shot per month eliminates daily adherence concerns after full detox.

Monthly injection

Start MAT from Baltimore in 4 Steps

No waiting lists, no drive to a clinic, no stigma. Every step of your OUD treatment — from first evaluation to ongoing management — happens via secure telehealth from your Baltimore home or office.

1
Same-Day Available

Book Your Telehealth Appointment from Baltimore

Schedule online or call (240) 966-4266. Same-day slots are available for Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents. Tell our scheduler you need OUD/MAT treatment — we'll match you with a same-day slot. No referral required, no waiting list.

2
Comprehensive Evaluation

OUD Evaluation via Secure Video

Your initial visit includes a full OUD assessment: substance use history, withdrawal status, co-occurring conditions, and medication options. If buprenorphine is appropriate, your first prescription can be sent the same day. Your provider can guide you through home induction or micro-induction if you are still using opioids.

3
Prescription Sent

Buprenorphine Sent to Your Baltimore Pharmacy

Your prescription is sent electronically to your preferred Baltimore pharmacy — Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Giant, Safeway, or any local independent in Baltimore City or County. Most patients pick up same day. Maryland Medicaid covers buprenorphine for OUD without prior authorization.

4
Ongoing Care

Monthly Follow-Ups via Telehealth from Home

Ongoing MAT includes monthly telehealth visits to monitor progress, adjust dosing, address cravings, and coordinate additional support (counseling, peer recovery, IOP). Your provider is available between visits — not just at monthly appointments.

Why Baltimore Residents Choose Icon Medicine for MAT

Baltimore's opioid crisis demands immediate access to treatment. Icon Medicine's telehealth model removes every barrier — no driving, no waiting rooms, no judgment — so Baltimore residents can start MAT the same day they reach out.

Same-Day Slots for Baltimore

Same-day telehealth appointments available for Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents. Call (240) 966-4266 or book online — many Baltimore patients start buprenorphine within hours of their first contact.

Suboxone Same-Day

Buprenorphine (Suboxone) prescribed same-day when clinically appropriate. Your provider can guide standard induction or micro-induction for patients still using fentanyl or other opioids — no need to be in severe withdrawal first.

42 CFR Part 2 Confidential

Your OUD treatment records are protected under federal law (42 CFR Part 2). Employers, family members, and insurers cannot access your records without written consent. Critical for Baltimore's professional and government community.

Maryland Medicaid — No PA Required

Maryland Medicaid (JAI, Maryland Physician's Care, Priority Partners, United Healthcare Community Plan) covers buprenorphine for OUD without prior authorization for Baltimore patients. Most commercial insurance also accepted.

100% Telehealth from Baltimore

Frequently Asked Questions About MAT in Baltimore, MD

Baltimore residents asking about medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder — answered by our clinical team.

Yes. Icon Medicine offers same-day telehealth appointments for Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents. If clinically appropriate after your initial OUD evaluation, a buprenorphine (Suboxone) prescription can be sent electronically to your preferred Baltimore pharmacy the same day as your visit — no office visit, no waiting list.
Both are evidence-based OUD treatments, but they work differently. Methadone is a full opioid agonist dispensed daily at federally licensed opioid treatment programs — you must visit a clinic in person. Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a partial agonist that can be prescribed via telehealth to a Baltimore pharmacy, giving you far more flexibility. Icon Medicine prescribes buprenorphine/Suboxone via telehealth; for patients who need methadone, we can help with referrals to Baltimore-area OTPs.
Yes. Maryland Medicaid — including all major MCOs (JAI Medical Center, Maryland Physician's Care, Priority Partners, and United Healthcare Community Plan) — covers buprenorphine for OUD without prior authorization for Baltimore City and County residents. Vivitrol (injectable naltrexone) coverage is also typically available when clinically appropriate. Your Icon Medicine team will verify your coverage before treatment begins.
Yes. All substance use disorder treatment records at Icon Medicine are protected under 42 CFR Part 2 — a federal law providing stronger privacy protections than standard HIPAA. Your employer, family members, law enforcement, and insurance company cannot access your OUD treatment records without your written consent. This is especially important for Baltimore's professional, government, and healthcare workforce.
Icon Medicine serves all of Baltimore City and Baltimore County via telehealth — including Fells Point, Federal Hill, Mount Vernon, Inner Harbor, Canton, Locust Point, Pigtown, Remington, Hampden, Charles Village, Waverly, Dundalk, Essex, Catonsville, Pikesville, Towson, Randallstown, Woodlawn, and all surrounding communities. No travel required — access care from anywhere with a phone or internet connection.
Yes. Many Baltimore patients have co-occurring conditions — OUD alongside kratom use disorder (KUD) or alcohol use disorder (AUD). Icon Medicine can address these at the same visit. Buprenorphine is effective for both opioid and kratom dependence; naltrexone can address both OUD (after full detox) and AUD. Your provider will create a coordinated treatment plan. Learn more about buprenorphine for kratom dependence.
Buprenorphine micro-induction (also called low-dose induction or ABSI) allows patients to start buprenorphine while still using other opioids — avoiding the need to be in full withdrawal. This is especially useful for patients on long-acting opioids like methadone or fentanyl. Icon Medicine providers are experienced with micro-induction protocols and can guide Baltimore patients through the process via telehealth.
Prescriptions are sent electronically to any Baltimore pharmacy — Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Giant, Safeway, and most local independent pharmacies across Baltimore City and Baltimore County. Call ahead to confirm buprenorphine stock, as availability can vary by location. No travel to our Hyattsville office is ever required.
