National Addiction Specialists

What National Addiction Specialists does

National Addiction Specialists is a privately held telemedicine clinic specializing in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee. The company delivers care through a 100% telemedicine model using HIPAA-compliant Zoom for video consultations, electronic prescribing to patients' local pharmacies, and at-home drug and pregnancy screening kits, with external lab partnerships (Labcorp, Quest Diagnostics) for confirmatory testing. Its core product is a Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) treatment program structured across three clinical phases: induction, stabilization, and maintenance, complemented by group and individual counseling, mental health services, and withdrawal management.

The business serves individual patients with opioid addiction and other substance use disorders (alcohol, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, Kratom) across Tennessee, Virginia, and Texas. Revenue is generated through a combination of insurance reimbursement across multiple payors (Medicaid/TennCare MCOs including BlueCare, Amerigroup, United Healthcare, and Molina Healthcare; Medicare; Ambetter; and BlueCross BlueShield) and self-pay options, with publicly disclosed pricing of a $225 intake fee, $50 weekly visits during induction and stabilization, $200 monthly maintenance visits, and $140 mental health visits. The company is accredited by CARF International, holds memberships in ASAM, the Tennessee Medical Association, and TNSAM, and receives grant funding from the State of Tennessee, reflecting compliance credentials and government alignment.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Addiction Centers: Large, multi-state addiction treatment operator running both residential and outpatient MAT programs. Overlaps with NAS on Suboxone/MAT services but as a much broader incumbent portfolio player rather than a telemedicine specialist.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Established nonprofit addiction treatment provider offering comprehensive MAT, residential, and outpatient services nationally. Adjacent rather than directly competing in telemedicine MAT, but competes for the same addiction treatment payer dollars and patient referrals.

Direct peers

• Ophelia Health: Telehealth provider of medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, delivering Suboxone via telemedicine with insurance contracting across multiple states. Direct competitor in virtual MAT prescribing and patient onboarding.
• Bicycle Health: National telemedicine Suboxone/buprenorphine provider for opioid use disorder with a virtual-first MAT model, in-network with major commercial and Medicaid payers, and serves patients across dozens of states. Closely comparable product, target patient, and delivery mechanism to National Addiction Specialists.
• Lionrock Recovery: Telehealth outpatient addiction treatment provider offering online Suboxone prescribing and counseling for opioid use disorder. Overlapping telemedicine MAT model with similar payer mix focus.
• Workit Health: Telehealth addiction treatment company offering online Suboxone prescribing alongside counseling for opioid and alcohol use disorder. Comparable virtual MAT model, recurring visit cadence, and focus on Medicaid-covered populations.
• Eleanor Health: Outpatient addiction and mental health treatment provider offering medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder with both virtual and in-person visits. Closely comparable integrated MAT plus counseling model.
• Boulder Care: Telehealth-based addiction treatment provider offering Suboxone/buprenorphine and counseling for opioid use disorder with a multidisciplinary care team model. Comparable telemedicine MAT platform targeting similar patient populations and payers.

Emerging players

• Quit Genius / Pelago Health: Digital substance use treatment platform offering telehealth-based addiction care (including opioid and alcohol use disorder) to employers and health plans. Overlapping MAT and behavioral therapy offering but with a B2B distribution angle distinct from NAS's direct-to-patient model.
• Confidant Health: Virtual addiction medicine practice offering Suboxone prescribing alongside behavioral health, with at-home drug testing and app-based care management. Comparable telemedicine MAT and integrated monitoring approach.
