Cedar Recovery

What Cedar Recovery does

Cedar Recovery is a multi-site outpatient addiction treatment provider headquartered in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, operating 14 clinic locations across Middle, East, and West Tennessee plus Bristol, Virginia, including two licensed Opioid Treatment Program (methadone) clinics. Founded in 2015 by Joe Bond in response to the local opioid epidemic, the company delivers Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) and methadone, combined with behavioral therapy, mental-health services, recovery support, and aftercare. Its clinical portfolio is led by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Stephen Loyd and additionally includes a specialized treatment program for pregnant women with substance use disorder.

The company's distribution architecture extends well beyond physical clinics. A Mobile Suboxone Clinic reaches five rural Tennessee counties (Franklin, Hickman, Giles, Lawrence, Marshall), and a wholly-owned telehealth platform, Studio Health, delivers 100% online treatment across Tennessee and Virginia. Cedar Recovery also operates CedarRx, an in-house pharmacy providing on-site pickup at the Lebanon, TN clinic and direct home delivery of addiction and mental health medications exclusively to Cedar Recovery patients, addressing stigma and access barriers associated with external pharmacies.

Cedar Recovery makes money primarily through insurance reimbursement from TennCare, Medicare, BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, Ambetter, and Cigna, complemented by self-pay options and grant funding from the State of Tennessee Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services that can cover 100% of treatment costs for eligible uninsured patients. The company carries CARF International accreditation and LegitScript certification as quality and compliance credentials. Patient services are direct-to-consumer with no referral required, and a centralized 1-800 intake line, website scheduling, and SEO-optimized content marketing drive patient acquisition across its service area. Cedar Recovery executed one disclosed acquisition (Occupational Health Services in Knoxville, December 2021), launched telehealth (2022) and CedarRx, and is led by an executive team that includes Founder/CEO Joe Bond, CMO Dr. Stephen Loyd, CFO Chad Dillard, CCO Trent Hughes, and CSO Paul Trivette.

Core offering

Cedar Recovery delivers outpatient Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and behavioral therapy for opioid and alcohol use disorders through a network of physical clinics, a mobile Suboxone unit, in-house pharmacy services, and a telehealth platform. The portfolio combines FDA-approved medications (Suboxone/buprenorphine-naloxone and methadone) with individual/group therapy, intensive outpatient programming, mental health services, and recovery support case management for individuals and pregnant women across Tennessee and Virginia.

Product overview

Cedar Recovery operates a multi-site outpatient addiction treatment network across Tennessee and Virginia offering a coordinated portfolio of evidence-based services. At its core, the company provides Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) through two primary medication pathways: Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) via office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) and methadone via Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs). These are delivered through 14 physical clinic locations and a Mobile Suboxone Clinic serving rural counties. Adjacent services include an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Mental Health Services with medication management and CBT/DBT therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Recovery Support (case management for housing, food, employment), and Addiction Treatment During Pregnancy. CedarRx, the company's in-house pharmacy, provides on-site medication pickup and home delivery exclusively for Cedar Recovery patients. Studio Health extends the portfolio via 100% telehealth for patients outside geographic reach of the physical clinics.
