Evidence-Based Addiction Medicine for Pasadena Residents

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with clinical support to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). MAT is considered the gold standard of addiction treatment because it addresses both the physical and psychological dimensions of dependence.

For opioid use disorder, Icon Medicine prescribes buprenorphine/naloxone — sold as Suboxone — which reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, prevents overdose, and allows patients to stabilize their lives without requiring in-person clinic visits each day. Same-day inductions are available for Pasadena residents.

For alcohol use disorder, naltrexone (oral tablets or monthly Vivitrol injection) blocks the brain's reward response to alcohol, dramatically reducing the urge to drink. It is safe, non-addictive, and can be prescribed via telehealth to anyone in Maryland including those in Pasadena and Anne Arundel County.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse confirms that MAT reduces opioid use, opioid-related overdoses, criminal activity, and transmission of infectious diseases. Pasadena families no longer need to travel to a methadone clinic or wait weeks for an in-person appointment. Icon Medicine brings board-certified MAT directly to your home via secure video visit.

Frequently Asked Questions About MAT in Pasadena, MD

Have questions about telehealth MAT in Pasadena? Here are honest answers from our board-certified team.

No — and that is the core benefit of Icon Medicine's telehealth MAT program. You do not need to drive to a methadone clinic, a hospital outpatient program, or any in-person office to receive buprenorphine (Suboxone) or naltrexone treatment. All appointments are conducted via secure video visit from the privacy of your Pasadena home. After your initial evaluation, your prescription is sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy in Pasadena or anywhere in Anne Arundel County. The only time you may need to leave your home is to pick up your prescription or for any lab work your provider orders.
Yes. Icon Medicine accepts most major insurance plans including Maryland Medicaid (which covers MAT with no prior authorization required under Maryland law), Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Maryland, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Carefirst, and many others. We strongly encourage you to call us at (240) 966-6266 before your first appointment so we can verify your specific benefits and confirm your coverage for buprenorphine prescriptions. Self-pay options are available for patients without insurance, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
Same-day treatment starts are available for Pasadena residents whenever scheduling permits. When you call (240) 966-6266 or book online, let us know you are seeking a same-day MAT induction and we will find the earliest available appointment slot. For buprenorphine (Suboxone) induction, you will typically need to be in mild-to-moderate opioid withdrawal at the time of your video visit (COWS score of 8 or higher is recommended for a comfortable home induction). Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect during the pre-induction window. Many Pasadena patients receive their prescription within hours of their first telehealth appointment.
Icon Medicine serves all of Maryland via telehealth, which means any resident with a Maryland address can receive MAT care. In and around Pasadena, we regularly serve patients from Lake Shore, Gibson Island, Glen Burnie, Severna Park, Arnold, Cape St. Claire, Millersville, and the broader Mountain Road corridor. Because we are 100% telehealth, there are no geographic restrictions within the state. Whether you live near the Chesapeake Bay or further inland in Anne Arundel County, Icon Medicine can connect you with same-day MAT care.
Absolutely. Icon Medicine treats both opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) via telehealth. For AUD, we prescribe naltrexone — available as a daily oral tablet or as Vivitrol, a monthly injectable formulation. Naltrexone works by blocking the reward response in the brain that reinforces drinking, making it significantly easier to reduce or stop alcohol consumption. It is non-addictive and safe for long-term use. Your provider will discuss which formulation is best suited to your situation during your evaluation. Vivitrol injections are coordinated with a local clinical partner in the Pasadena or Anne Arundel area.
Yes — and in many cases, patients find telehealth MAT more effective because it removes the barriers that prevent treatment: long commutes, stigma at walk-in clinics, inflexible appointment times, and the challenge of taking time off work. Multiple peer-reviewed studies published since 2020 have confirmed that telehealth buprenorphine treatment produces outcomes equivalent to in-person care for most patients. The convenience of telehealth actually improves treatment retention — the single most important predictor of long-term recovery. Icon Medicine's board-certified provider is fully capable of managing your MAT safely and effectively via video visit, with the same clinical rigor you would expect from an in-person practice.
