Suboxone at Work and in Custody: Busting the Myths & Choosing the Right Virtual MAT Partner
What is MAT?
Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)doesn’t clock out at 5 p.m. And it doesn’t go away when someone is arrested. It’s a chronic, relapsing condition that requires continuity of care whether someone is behind bars, clocked in at work, or trying to stay sober at home.
That’s why more jails, employers, and behavioral health clinics are turning to virtual Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) with Suboxone to meet patients where they are and provide medically sound, stigma-free care that actually works.
But myths and misinformation still get in the way of progress. You’ve probably heard:
- Can someone on Suboxone still do their job safely?
- Is MAT even allowed in jail?
- Which telemedicine provider can actually do this right at scale
Let’s break it all down and show you how DevotedDOC is setting the standard.
Myth: Suboxone Impairs Performance
Truth: It Stabilizes It
Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) isn’t a sedative or a performance blocker. When taken as prescribed, it restores function by reducing cravings, preventing withdrawal, and helping people return to normal life.
According to SAMHSA, Suboxone patients are
- More alert and present than patients in withdrawal
- More consistent at work and less likely to relapse
- More likely to stay in treatment and succeed long term
Suboxone works like insulin does for diabetesit helps regulate a chronic condition so people can function.” SAMHSA MAT Toolkit
Why Virtual MAT Is a Game-Changer for Institutions
Traditionally, offering MAT meant scheduling offsite visits, hiring in-house providers, or skipping care altogether. That’s expensive, high-liability, and often not realistic.
Telemedicine changes everything.
With> DevotedDOC’s same-day access to licensed Suboxone doctors, facilities can:
- Deliver on-site treatment with zero transport
- Support real recovery with low overhead
- Keep care HIPAA-compliant, scalable, and fast
We’re already partnering with:
- County jails across Florida and Georgia
- Employers with safety-sensitive positions
- Behavioral health teams needing overflow or structured Suboxone support
DevotedDOC vs “The Other Guys”
Let’s face it there are dozens of telehealth platforms that “offer Suboxone.” But most are designed for individual patients, not complex institutional workflows. You won’t see them collaborating with correctional EMRs, supporting Kratom detox, or offering microdosing options.
DevotedDOC is different. We were built for this.
Here’s how we stack up:
| Feature | DevotedDOC | Most Telehealth Providers |
|---|---|---|
| Addiction Focus | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Sometimes |
| Employer & Jail Support | ✅ B2B Ready | ❌ Not Built for It |
| Custom Protocols | ✅ Microdosing, Kratom, Tianeptine | ❌ One-size-fits-all |
| Transparent Pricing | ✅ $74.99 w/ free follow-up | ❓ Varies |
| EMR-Ready Docs | ✅ Yes | ❌ Rare |
| Same-Day Visits | ✅ Always | ✅ Sometimes |
| Built for Compliance | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
