Hagerstown, Maryland — the seat of Washington County in western Maryland — sits at the intersection of I-70 and I-81, a region that has borne a disproportionate burden of the opioid epidemic. With limited local addiction medicine providers, significant economic challenges, and tens of thousands of Washington County residents at risk, accessible MAT has never been more urgently needed. Icon Medicine delivers same-day Suboxone (buprenorphine) and naltrexone treatment directly to Hagerstown residents via secure video visit — no travel required, no waiting weeks for an appointment, no stigma.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the evidence-based gold standard for opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). MAT combines FDA-approved medications with clinical support to dramatically improve outcomes — dramatically outperforming abstinence-only approaches in retention, overdose prevention, and long-term recovery.
For opioid use disorder, Icon Medicine prescribes buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), which reduces cravings, prevents withdrawal, and cuts overdose mortality by more than 50%. Hagerstown-area patients on Maryland Medicaid can access same-day Suboxone without prior authorization — eliminating the most common administrative barrier to starting treatment. There is no need to drive to Baltimore or navigate a crowded hospital outpatient program.
For alcohol use disorder, naltrexone — as a daily oral tablet or the once-monthly Vivitrol injection — is FDA-approved to reduce alcohol cravings and the rewarding effect of drinking. Icon Medicine can prescribe naltrexone to any Maryland resident via telehealth, including every community in Washington County.
The I-70/I-81 corridor through Hagerstown has seen some of the most severe opioid overdose rates in western Maryland. Economic dislocation, manufacturing decline, and geographic distance from Baltimore-area treatment centers have made traditional in-person MAT inaccessible for many Washington County residents. Telehealth directly eliminates the access barrier — and Icon Medicine's same-day model means Hagerstown patients can begin treatment immediately, on the day they decide to seek help.
Icon Medicine serves Hagerstown residents and all of Washington County with compassionate, stigma-free addiction treatment. We treat patients across the city, from Halfway to Williamsport to Boonsboro.
