How it works
One visit. No paperwork. No proof required.
A pay-what-you-can bridge visit is available for patients who cannot afford the standard fee right now. Just mention it when you call.
Who this is for
Patients already on buprenorphine who face an urgent gap in their care — including patients whose prescription has run out or who have recently lost access to their previous provider — and who genuinely cannot afford the standard fee right now. Prior buprenorphine treatment is confirmed through the prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP).
What it covers
A visit with the physician. Your prescription is sent to your pharmacy the same day.
What it is not
This is a one-time bridge for urgent need, not an ongoing arrangement. We are a small independent practice and we cannot operate as a free clinic. But we believe that a person who reaches out and asks for help should not be turned away because of money. This option exists for that moment.
Why we offer this
The moment someone asks for help matters.
Opioid use disorder is a health condition. The decision to seek care often comes at a specific moment — a moment that passes if the barriers are too high.
We take that seriously. If that is where you are right now, call us.
Other options if cost is a longer-term barrier
Other paths worth knowing about.
Medicaid
If you have Medicaid coverage, you may qualify for buprenorphine treatment at little or no cost through a Medicaid-accepting provider. The SAMHSA treatment locator at findtreatment.gov can help you find one in your state.

Free, confidential, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 1-800-662-4357 for information about treatment options and referrals in your area regardless of ability to pay.
Prescription discount programs
The cost of buprenorphine at the pharmacy can often be reduced through discount programs. Even if the visit fee is not affordable right now, the medication itself may cost less than you expect. Ask us about this when you call.
