The key phrase of “Online Suboxone Doctors” is one of the most searched phrases for telehealth opioid addiction treatment on the internet. As this may be a popular key phrase search, the phrase itself has a generic and less than appealing view by those that work in the field. For companies that need to have an online presence must use the key phrases on their website that people most commonly search.
But what exactly are online Suboxone doctors? There are both simple and complex answers to this question. And as with any field there are varying levels of qualifications and quality of those that the industry phrases relate to. Any medical provider that can call themselves a Telehealth Doctor for prescribing Buprenorphine (Suboxone or Subutex) for the Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) treatment. The medical provider must meet a minimal qualification of having a currently active medical physician license, either a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) and have an active DEA license to prescribe Controlled Substances. That is the bare minimum requirement, but a quality provider will have more than just the bare minimum requirements.
Online Suboxone Doctors and Suboxone Clinics Qualifications
Ideally the prescribing physician for telehealth opioid addiction treatment would also have at least some level of active Board Certification. This is not a requirement to prescribe, but often a requirement to be able to accept insurance payments. This is important as it allows those patients to utilize their highly useful medical insurance coverage. Even better is when that physician is Board Certified in Addiction Medicine, or at least has some extensive training in addiction. Another useful qualification, which again is often a requirement by insurance companies, is the physician has either hospital admitting privileges or an admitting arrangement with a hospitalist group. This allows that physician to directly and easily admit a patient to a hospital in the event of an emergency. With base level MOUD treatment, often hospital admitting is not of worry. These are the professional requirements that are best for a Doctor to prescribe Suboxone online.
Outside of educational requirements of doctors that treat opioid addiction with Suboxone or Subutex via online telehealth, there are other qualifications people may want to look for. The Founder of Recover Clarity believes that individuals who have had some aspect of their life affected by addiction often provide a higher level of care to patients. The reason is simple, whether a medical provider or someone working the front desk, having personally dealt with addiction gives them a better understanding of what the patients are going through. Even if they have never been addicted to any substance personally, they are more empathetic than someone that has no personal knowledge of the grasp of addiction. Other qualifications of a quality medical provider are then all personal to the patient, such as finding someone that focuses more on holistic practices when possible or is patient centered, like that of all the staff at Recover Clarity. Some people may prefer someone of certain religious preferences, grew up in certain regions, among many other possible personal aspects the patient finds close to them. These personal beliefs are important in building a quality patient-provider relationship.
What Are Some Other Qualities to Look For?
Even with the absolute best trained online Suboxone doctors and Nurse Practitioners, the policies of the telehealth opioid addiction treatment facility are important. Because someone is highly qualified and truly empathetic and provides amazing care, the policies of the company they work for may hinder their ability to treat a patient. Or other company policies or shortcomings may cause a poor or even stressful treatment experience for the patient.
Telehealth Suboxone treatment facilities that are all about profit are likely to have company policies which are not meant to help patients as much as they could. A major one would be the scheduling system of the facility, such as that if getting rescheduled when an emergency comes up being difficult. This can leave a patient without their Buprenorphine (Suboxone or Subutex) and place them in a state of withdrawal that can lead to a relapse, which relapses while being in treatment have an increased chance of being fatal. Recover Clarity has an innovative and effective Patient Centered Scheduling system that is designed to assist patients in the event of a missed appointment and keep them on track with their recovery.
There are some large online Suboxone treatment facilities that are so large, patients never speak with the same medical provider more than once. This removes any of the provider-patient relationship that should be created between a patient and their medical provider, whether they are a Medical Doctor or Nurse Practitioner. Another problem with the large discount online Suboxone treatment facilities also often just place patients in a queue for the next medical provider to contact. Often this leaves patients spending a vast amount of time waiting for an appointment to happen, at times some have reported being on hold for hours waiting. Smaller clinics, like that of Recover Clarity, value patients’ time and can schedule appointments that will happen at their scheduled time. A quality opioid treatment facility should place the safety of the patients and ensuring they stay in treatment as their number one priority.
