Salisbury, Maryland — the largest city on the Eastern Shore and Wicomico County seat — sits at the heart of the Delmarva Peninsula, roughly 28 miles from Ocean City and a world away from the addiction medicine specialists clustered in Baltimore and Washington. Despite being the region's commercial and healthcare hub, Salisbury residents struggling with opioid or alcohol use disorder still face limited local treatment options and long waits for specialty care. Icon Medicine changes that. Our board-certified MAT telehealth program delivers same-day Suboxone (buprenorphine) and naltrexone treatment directly to Salisbury residents via secure video visit — no commute, no waiting room, no stigma.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the evidence-based gold standard for opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). By combining FDA-approved medications with ongoing clinical support, MAT dramatically improves treatment retention, reduces overdose risk, and builds a foundation for sustainable long-term recovery.
For opioid use disorder, Icon Medicine prescribes buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), which reduces cravings, prevents withdrawal, and cuts overdose risk by more than 50%. Salisbury-area residents on Maryland Medicaid can access same-day Suboxone inductions via telehealth without prior authorization — a critical patient protection that removes the most common insurance barrier for Eastern Shore residents. There is no need to drive hours to Baltimore or cross into Delaware for treatment.
For alcohol use disorder, naltrexone — available as a daily oral tablet or the monthly Vivitrol injection — blocks the rewarding effect of alcohol, making it substantially easier to cut back or stop drinking entirely. We can prescribe naltrexone to any Maryland resident via telehealth, including Salisbury residents throughout Wicomico County and the broader Eastern Shore region.
The Maryland Eastern Shore faces persistent challenges in accessing specialty addiction medicine. Geographic distance from major urban treatment centers, limited local provider availability, and cultural barriers to seeking care have created a significant gap that telehealth is uniquely positioned to address. Icon Medicine is committed to closing that gap for Salisbury and every surrounding community on the peninsula.
Icon Medicine serves Salisbury residents and all of the Maryland Eastern Shore with compassionate, non-judgmental addiction treatment. We treat patients from Salisbury to Ocean City, from Princess Anne to Cambridge — and every community across the Delmarva Peninsula.
