1) Medication-Assisted Treatment -Telehealth Suboxone (Buprenorphine) Treatment for OUD
What Is Suboxone Treatment?
Suboxone — the brand name for the combination of buprenorphine and naloxone — is an FDA-approved medication used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). It reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, stabilizes brain chemistry, and supports long-term recovery. Buprenorphine-only formulations are also prescribed based on clinical need.
At Medivira, prescribing decisions are made by licensed physicians following a thorough evaluation. Treatment plans are individualized, regularly reviewed, and adjusted as your recovery progresses.
Who May Qualify?
Texas residents with opioid use disorder who are medically appropriate for outpatient buprenorphine treatment may qualify for Medivira's telehealth program. A physician evaluation is required before any prescription is initiated.
Medivira maintains defined safety thresholds. Patients requiring a higher level of care are referred to appropriate in-person or residential services, with coordinated transitions.

FAQs about Telehealth at Medivira
Is telehealth treatment for opioid use disorder legal and recognized in Texas?
Yes. Telehealth is a federally recognized modality for substance use disorder treatment. Texas follows federal telemedicine guidelines that allow licensed physicians to evaluate and prescribe buprenorphine-based medications for opioid use disorder via telehealth when it is clinically appropriate. Medivira's services are fully compliant with both federal and Texas state telemedicine regulations
Do I need to visit a clinic in person to start Suboxone treatment through Medivira?
In most cases, your initial evaluation and ongoing treatment can be completed entirely via telehealth from any location within Texas. A physician will conduct a thorough evaluation before any medication is prescribed. If in-person assessment or a higher level of care is clinically warranted, Medivira will coordinate that transition with you directly.
What is the difference between Suboxone and buprenorphine?
Suboxone is a brand-name formulation that combines buprenorphine (a partial opioid agonist) with naloxone (an opioid antagonist added to deter misuse). Buprenorphine is also available in other formulations, including buprenorphine-only products. Both are FDA-approved for the treatment of opioid use disorder. The specific formulation appropriate for you will be determined by your Medivira physician during your evaluation.
Does Medivira accept Texas Medicaid for Suboxone and mental health treatment?
Yes. Medivira accepts Texas Medicaid as well as most major insurance plans. We also offer free initial consultations. If you have questions about your specific coverage, you are welcome to contact us prior to your appointment to confirm your benefits
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Medivira offers same-day appointments seven days a week, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. After-hours support is also available around the clock. Same-day availability is subject to physician capacity at the time of scheduling.
Is my telehealth visit with Medivira private and confidential?
Yes. All Medivira telehealth visits are conducted using HIPAA-compliant technology. Your health information is protected in accordance with federal privacy law. Scheduling is handled discreetly, and your treatment details are not shared without your authorization except as required by law.
Who provides the care at Medivira — are these real physicians?
Yes. All care at Medivira is physician-led. Evaluations, prescribing decisions, and treatment plans are managed by licensed and credentialed medical providers — not anonymous platforms, automated systems, or non-physician staff. Physician oversight is present throughout every stage of your treatment.
Can Medivira treat mental health conditions alongside opioid use disorder?
Yes. Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders are common and are assessed together at Medivira rather than in isolation. If you are experiencing both opioid use disorder and a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms, your physician will account for both in developing your treatment plan.
What happens if I need a higher level of care than telehealth can provide?
Medivira maintains defined clinical safety thresholds. If your physician determines that your needs require in-person evaluation, residential treatment, or another higher level of care, Medivira will coordinate that referral and transition with you directly. Telehealth is not appropriate for every patient or every stage of treatment, and this determination is always made on clinical grounds.
Is Medivira available throughout all of Texas?
Yes. Medivira provides telehealth services to patients located anywhere in Texas. Because care is delivered remotely, patients in rural areas, smaller cities, and underserved communities have access to the same physician-led evaluations and treatment as those in major metropolitan areas.
What technology do I need for a Medivira telehealth appointment?
You need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a working camera and microphone, along with a stable internet connection. Medivira uses HIPAA-compliant telehealth software. Specific instructions for joining your visit will be provided when your appointment is confirmed.
What should I expect at my first Medivira telehealth appointment?
Your first visit is a comprehensive physician-led evaluation. Your physician will review your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. For OUD, this includes a clinical assessment of your opioid use history and any prior treatment. For mental health, it includes a structured evaluation of your symptoms and their impact on daily functioning. No prescription is issued without a completed evaluation. At the end of the visit, your physician will discuss their clinical findings and proposed treatment plan with you.
