What Ideal Option Pllc does

Ideal Option PLLC is a private outpatient healthcare services company founded in 2012 by two emergency-room physicians to deliver office-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders, including addiction to opioids, alcohol, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. The company operates a network of more than 80 Joint Commission–accredited outpatient clinics across nine U.S. states, staffed by over 250 addiction medicine providers and clinical personnel, and has helped more than 100,000 patients since inception. Its clinical model uses FDA-approved medications — Suboxone, Sublocade, Brixadi, and Vivitrol — delivered through a low-barrier outpatient platform that emphasizes same-day or 24-hour access, walk-in availability, no wait lists, no penalties for relapse, and acceptance of all insurance including Medicaid and Medicare. The company complements clinic-based MAT with an in-house laboratory (processing roughly 600 specimens per day at scale, with capacity up to ~2,000 per day at the King County flagship in Renton, Washington), Remote Check-In and Patient Portal digital tools, and Peer Navigation Programs deployed with municipal partners.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivery reimbursed primarily through third-party payors (Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance) with self-pay as a fallback. Distribution relies on direct-to-consumer demand (phone, website, walk-ins, self-referral) supplemented by referral channels built with law enforcement agencies (Eugene PD, Lane County, Marion County Sheriff), city and county governments (Cities of Eugene, Albuquerque, Great Falls), EMS providers, and community nonprofits (CHANCE Recovery, Opportunity Council). These partnerships increasingly extend Ideal Option's role beyond clinical MAT into jail deflection, in-jail injectable medication programs, and alternative first-response crisis services. Geographic expansion has accelerated across the Pacific Northwest, Mountain West, Southwest, and Midwest, with capital partially subsidized by public sources such as American Rescue Plan Act funding. The company is led by CEO Tim Kilgallon and CMO Dr. Brian Dawson and remains privately held with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional ownership.
