Frequently Asked Questions
Does Illinois Medicaid cover suboxone treatment?
Yes. Illinois Medicaid (the Medical Assistance Program) covers buprenorphine treatment without prior authorization. Patients on Illinois Medicaid should not be required to get pre-approval before starting buprenorphine. Coverage includes both in-person and telehealth prescribing.
Where are the main suboxone programs in Chicago?
RUSH University Medical Center and the University of Chicago both have established addiction medicine programs with buprenorphine prescribing. Cook County Health operates several Office-Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) sites across Chicago, including sites on the South and West Side where access to MAT has historically been limited. The Hub-and-Spoke model is also being expanded in Chicago — connecting specialty addiction medicine hubs with primary care prescribers.
Are there suboxone providers on the South Side or West Side of Chicago?
Access to MAT has historically been concentrated in Chicago's North Side and Loop, underserving the South and West Side communities most affected by the opioid crisis. Cook County Health's OBOT expansion and community health center programs have been actively working to address this gap. Telehealth providers can also serve patients in any Chicago neighborhood without requiring travel to a clinic.
Can I get suboxone via telehealth in Chicago?
Yes. Telehealth buprenorphine prescribing is fully available in Illinois. Many Chicago patients use telehealth MAT providers for the convenience of not traveling to a clinic, especially given Chicago traffic. Telehealth providers often have shorter wait times than in-person clinic appointments.
