MAT Telehealth in Annapolis, MD — Same-Day Suboxone & Addiction Treatment

Annapolis, Maryland's historic state capital, is a vibrant waterfront city where residents from all walks of life — from Navy personnel and state employees to families in West Annapolis and Eastport — face the real challenges of opioid and alcohol use disorders. Despite Annapolis's resources, finding accessible, stigma-free addiction treatment can be difficult. Icon Medicine bridges that gap with board-certified MAT telehealth, delivering same-day Suboxone (buprenorphine) and naltrexone treatment directly to Annapolis residents via secure video visit — no commute required.

Evidence-Based Addiction Medicine for Annapolis Residents

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the gold standard approach to treating opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), combining FDA-approved medications with ongoing clinical support. Unlike approaches that demand total abstinence from day one, MAT meets patients where they are and builds a foundation for sustainable, long-term recovery.

For opioid use disorder, Icon Medicine prescribes buprenorphine/naloxone — sold under the brand name Suboxone — which reduces cravings, prevents withdrawal, and dramatically lowers the risk of overdose. For Annapolis residents, same-day inductions are available via telehealth. There is no need to drive to a daily methadone clinic or wait weeks for an in-person appointment with a specialist.

For alcohol use disorder, naltrexone — available as a daily oral tablet or as the monthly Vivitrol injection — blocks the brain's opioid receptors, removing the rewarding effect of alcohol and making it substantially easier to reduce or stop drinking altogether. Icon Medicine can prescribe naltrexone to any Maryland resident via telehealth, including Annapolis residents in West Annapolis, Eastport, and throughout Anne Arundel County.

Annapolis is home to the United States Naval Academy, state government offices, and a diverse working population — all communities where addiction can strike and where the stigma of seeking help in public can be a real deterrent. Telehealth MAT from Icon Medicine removes that barrier entirely.

You do not need to travel to Hyattsville or any distant clinic — your treatment comes through your neighborhood pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions About MAT in Annapolis, MD

Have questions about telehealth MAT in Annapolis? Here are detailed, honest answers from our board-certified clinical team.

Yes — completely. Icon Medicine's MAT program is 100% telehealth, which means every appointment from your initial evaluation through ongoing monthly follow-ups is conducted via secure video call. Annapolis residents never need to visit a methadone clinic, a hospital outpatient program, or any in-person office. You connect with your board-certified provider from your home in West Annapolis, your apartment in Eastport, your boat, or wherever you feel safe and private. After your video visit, your prescription is sent electronically to your preferred Annapolis-area pharmacy. The only potential in-person step is picking up your medication — everything else is telehealth.
Yes. Icon Medicine accepts most major insurance plans serving the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County area, including Maryland Medicaid (all managed care plans), Medicare, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield of Maryland, Aetna Better Health of Maryland, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem, and TRICARE for active-duty military and veterans. Under Maryland law, Medicaid covers MAT including buprenorphine prescriptions without requiring prior authorization, making it easier than ever for Medicaid-enrolled Annapolis residents to access same-day Suboxone treatment. We recommend calling (240) 966-6266 before your first visit so we can verify your specific plan and confirm your pharmacy benefits.
Same-day Suboxone inductions are available for Annapolis residents when scheduling permits. Call (240) 966-6266 or book online and let us know you are seeking a same-day start — we will prioritize finding you the earliest available appointment. For a standard home buprenorphine induction, your provider will ask you to be in mild-to-moderate opioid withdrawal at the time of your video visit (a COWS score of 8 or higher is typically recommended to ensure a safe, comfortable induction without precipitating withdrawal). Your provider will walk you through the exact protocol during your booking call. Many Annapolis patients receive their prescription within a few hours of their first telehealth appointment and are able to pick it up at their local pharmacy the same day.
Yes. Icon Medicine provides MAT telehealth to all Maryland residents, including active-duty Navy personnel, Naval Academy staff and midshipmen, veterans, and their family members in the Annapolis area. We understand that military personnel face unique pressures and concerns about seeking addiction treatment — including concerns about career impact and command notification. It is important to know that civilian healthcare providers like Icon Medicine are bound by HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 privacy protections and cannot share your treatment information with your command, the military, or the VA without your explicit written consent. For patients covered by TRICARE, we will verify your specific plan benefits before your first visit. We are also happy to coordinate with VA resources if that is your preference.
Because Icon Medicine is a 100% telehealth practice licensed throughout the state of Maryland, we serve every neighborhood in Annapolis and all of Anne Arundel County without restriction. This includes West Annapolis, Eastport, Parole, Bay Ridge, Annapolis Neck, Hillsmere Shores, Riva, Cape St. Claire, Arnold, Severna Park, Edgewater, and every community in between. We also serve patients in the greater Annapolis metropolitan area including Crofton, Gambrills, Davidsonville, and Millersville. If you have a Maryland address and an internet connection or smartphone, you can access Icon Medicine's same-day MAT telehealth services from wherever you are.
Yes. Icon Medicine offers both formulations of naltrexone for alcohol use disorder to Annapolis residents: the daily 50mg oral tablet and the monthly Vivitrol (extended-release naltrexone) injection. Both are FDA-approved and effective for reducing alcohol cravings and the rewarding effect of drinking. The oral tablet is filled at any retail pharmacy in Annapolis. Vivitrol injections are coordinated with a licensed clinical partner in the Annapolis or Anne Arundel area — your Icon Medicine provider will arrange this for you and provide detailed instructions. Neither formulation requires in-person visits to our Hyattsville office — your prescription is managed entirely via telehealth, with the injection administered locally near you. Most insurance plans, including Maryland Medicaid, cover Vivitrol with prior authorization that we will handle on your behalf.

Insurance Accepted for MAT in Annapolis, MD

Icon Medicine believes that cost should never prevent someone from accessing addiction treatment. We accept most major insurance plans and proactively work to maximize your coverage. Under Maryland law, Medicaid covers MAT — including buprenorphine prescriptions — without requiring prior authorization, a critical protection that removes a key barrier for many Annapolis patients.

For TRICARE-enrolled active-duty Navy personnel and veterans in the Annapolis area, we will verify your specific TRICARE plan benefits before your first visit. Self-pay options with straightforward, transparent pricing are available for patients without insurance.
