Problem
Individuals with opioid use disorder often face long wait times, limited clinic availability, and fragmented support services, which delay access to medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) such as Suboxone. Stigma and complex insurance or Medicaid navigation further reduce treatment uptake, especially for patients in rural or underserved areas.
Solution
Groups delivers rapid, clinically supervised Suboxone initiation through a hybrid model that combines in‑person visits with HIPAA‑compliant telehealth sessions, allowing patients to start treatment within days. A single weekly hour of structured group therapy and peer support is built into the care pathway, reinforcing adherence and relapse prevention. The platform integrates real‑time insurance eligibility checks and Medicaid redetermination assistance, minimizing financial barriers. A dedicated mobile app provides medication reminders, appointment scheduling, and curated recovery resources, keeping patients engaged between visits. 24/7 access to recovery specialists ensures continuous clinical oversight and crisis support. All clinical data are stored in a secure, cloud‑based repository with FHIR‑compatible APIs for seamless EHR integration, enabling coordinated care across providers.
Target Audience
The primary customers are adults diagnosed with opioid use disorder who require medication‑assisted treatment and prefer flexible in‑person or virtual care, particularly those covered by Medicaid or private insurance and residing in regions with limited specialty clinics.
