Online Suboxone Treatment Across California
Limited access to addiction treatment can make recovery especially difficult.
Telehealth allows many patients to meet with a medical provider from home rather than traveling to a clinic for every appointment.
Be Well Medical Group serves patients throughout California, including:
Los Angeles • Beverly Hills • West Hollywood • Santa Monica • Pasadena • Long Beach • Orange County • San Diego • Sacramento • San Francisco • statewide California
Your eligibility for telehealth treatment depends on your clinical circumstances and applicable prescribing requirements.
How Suboxone Works
Suboxone contains buprenorphine and naloxone and is used to treat opioid use disorder.
Buprenorphine can reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings, helping patients stabilize without experiencing the same cycle of intoxication and withdrawal associated with full opioid agonists.
For many people, this makes it possible to get back to everyday life—working, sleeping, rebuilding relationships, and addressing the other medical and behavioral health issues that may have been pushed aside during active opioid use.
Treatment is individualized. Some people use buprenorphine for a shorter period, while others benefit from longer-term maintenance.
The goal isn’t to rush you off medication.
The goal is to help you stay alive, stable, functional, and moving toward the life you want.
Can I Get Suboxone Through Telehealth in California?
For eligible patients, opioid use disorder can often be evaluated and managed through telehealth.
Your initial visit includes a medical assessment to understand your opioid use, current medications, withdrawal risk, previous treatment experiences, other health conditions, and treatment goals.
When buprenorphine treatment is clinically appropriate and applicable prescribing requirements are met, your provider will develop an individualized treatment plan with you.
Point-of-Care Urine Toxicology Testing
Point-of-care urine toxicology testing is a required part of our Suboxone treatment program. Testing can be completed remotely as part of telehealth care, allowing patients throughout California to receive ongoing clinical monitoring without routinely traveling to our office or a laboratory.
Urine toxicology testing helps us monitor treatment, confirm the presence of prescribed medications when appropriate, identify substances that may affect treatment safety, and make informed decisions about your care.
Testing is not used to punish patients for substance use or relapse. If a result is unexpected, we use that information to have an honest conversation, assess safety, and determine whether your treatment plan needs to change.
Follow-up appointments can generally be completed through secure telehealth. In some circumstances, additional laboratory or confirmatory testing, an in-person evaluation, or a higher level of care may be necessary.
What Happens at Your First Suboxone Appointment?
Your first appointment is about understanding where you are and determining the safest way to move forward.
We’ll discuss:
- Which opioids you’re currently using or have recently used
- How often and how much you’re using
- When you last used opioids
- Previous experiences with Suboxone or buprenorphine
- Withdrawal symptoms
- Overdose history and risk
- Alcohol, benzodiazepine, stimulant, and other substance use
- Current medications and medical conditions
- Mental health symptoms
- Your treatment goals
- Your support system and recovery resources
You can be honest.
Our job is to make treatment safer—not to punish you for what you tell us.
Starting Suboxone Safely
Starting buprenorphine requires appropriate timing and an individualized plan.
Because buprenorphine binds strongly to opioid receptors, taking it too soon after certain opioids can trigger precipitated withdrawal, an abrupt worsening of withdrawal symptoms.
This is particularly important for people using fentanyl because fentanyl can make the timing of buprenorphine initiation less predictable.
Your provider will discuss your recent opioid use, withdrawal symptoms, previous experiences with buprenorphine, and the safest induction approach for your situation.
Do not use a generic online dosing schedule as a substitute for individualized medical instructions.
Already Taking Suboxone? We Can Help With Ongoing Treatment
You don’t necessarily need to be starting treatment for the first time.
Be Well Medical Group also provides ongoing buprenorphine medication management for appropriate patients who are already stable on treatment.
If you’ve moved, lost access to your previous provider, have difficulty reaching a clinic, or need a telehealth option in California, schedule an appointment to discuss continuity of care.
Please have information about your current prescription and previous treatment available when possible.
What If I Relapse While Taking Suboxone?
Tell us.
A return to opioid use does not automatically mean treatment has failed.
It may mean your medication, support system, treatment plan, or level of care needs to change.
We use drug screening and follow-up appointments to improve safety and guide treatment—not as punishment.
If something isn’t working, we want to know so we can figure out what needs to change.
Suboxone Treatment and Mental Health Care
Opioid use disorder often overlaps with anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, ADHD symptoms, alcohol use, and other behavioral health concerns.
Treating only one part of the picture may not be enough.
As a medical practice providing both addiction treatment and mental health care, Be Well Medical Group can evaluate many co-occurring concerns and coordinate with therapists, psychiatrists, addiction specialists, or higher levels of care when needed.
Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention
Recovery doesn’t look exactly the same for everyone.
Our approach incorporates harm reduction because keeping people alive and engaged in healthcare matters.
We encourage patients with opioid exposure to have naloxone (Narcan) available and make sure people close to them know how to use it.
Combining opioids or buprenorphine with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other sedating medications can increase safety risks. Tell us what you’re taking—even if it wasn’t prescribed.
You won’t get a lecture.
We need accurate information to help keep you safe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Suboxone Treatment in California
Can I get Suboxone online in California?
Eligible patients may be able to receive evaluation, buprenorphine treatment, and ongoing medication management through telehealth. Your provider will determine whether telehealth treatment is appropriate based on your clinical circumstances and current prescribing requirements.
Do you offer Suboxone treatment in Los Angeles?
Yes. Be Well Medical Group provides Suboxone treatment for eligible patients in Los Angeles as well as statewide telehealth care throughout California
Do you accept California MediCal for Suboxone treatment?
No. Be Well Medical Group does not currently accept Medi-Cal for Suboxone treatment in California. Private-pay options are available, and we participate with select commercial behavioral health plans for eligible services.
Can I start Suboxone at my first appointment?
Possibly. Your provider first needs to evaluate your opioid use, withdrawal status, medical history, medications, and other safety factors. When and how buprenorphine should be started depends on the individual situation.
What if I use fentanyl?
Fentanyl use does not prevent you from seeking treatment. However, starting buprenorphine after fentanyl can require additional planning because of the risk of precipitated withdrawal. Your provider will discuss an appropriate initiation strategy with you.
What if I use kratom / 7OH?
Tell us. Kratom use does not automatically prevent you from receiving treatment.
Some people use kratom to manage pain, opioid withdrawal, cravings, or to reduce their use of other opioids. However, regular kratom use can lead to physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and difficulty stopping.
If you are using kratom regularly and want to stop, we can evaluate your symptoms, pattern of use, other medications or substances, and treatment goals. In some cases, buprenorphine may be considered as part of treatment for clinically significant kratom-related opioid dependence, but this requires an individualized medical evaluation.
Do not stop kratom or start Suboxone based solely on instructions you find online. The timing and treatment approach should be determined with your provider to reduce the risk of worsening withdrawal or other complications.
Be honest with us about how much kratom you’re using and how often. Our goal is to help you find a safe, realistic path forward—not judge how you got here.
Do I have to go through detox before starting Suboxone?
Not everyone requires inpatient detoxification before beginning buprenorphine treatment. The appropriate setting depends on the substances you’re using, withdrawal risk, medical and psychiatric conditions, and other individual factors.
To start Suboxone, you do need to be in at least moderate withdrawal so the medication will help you feel better rather than feeling worse.
What if I’m already prescribed Suboxone?
We can evaluate appropriate patients for ongoing buprenorphine medication management. Bring information about your current prescription and previous treatment when available.
Will I need drug testing?
Drug testing is used as part of treatment to help guide medication decisions and improve safety. We use monitoring as a clinical tool rather than a punishment.
How often are appointments?
Follow-up frequency depends on where you are in treatment and your individual needs. Patients who are newly starting or adjusting treatment may need closer follow-up than patients who have been stable for a longer period.
Once a person is stable on treatment, we typically follow up once monthly.
Do I need to be completely abstinent to receive care?
Talk to us honestly about what you’re using. Treatment decisions are based on safety and clinical circumstances rather than expecting every patient to have a perfect recovery trajectory.
Is Suboxone treatment confidential?
Yes. Substance-use treatment is healthcare, and we take patient privacy seriously. Telehealth can also make it easier to receive care without routinely traveling to a dedicated addiction treatment clinic.
