Addiction Medicine
Confidential, judgment-free treatment for substance use disorders and behavioral addictions
Addiction Medicine is the specialty focused on confidential, judgment-free treatment for substance use disorders and behavioral addictions. OpenDoc keeps the common visit types visible so patients can compare the care path before they book. Transparent pricing on this page currently ranges from $25 to $1,200 across 12 common visit types. Addiction Medicine specialists provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral counseling, and ongoing recovery management for substance use disorders. Over 20 million Americans meet criteria for a substance use disorder, yet fewer than 10% receive treatment. OpenDoc connects patients directly to board-certified addiction medicine physicians with transparent cash pricing starting at $150 — no insurance authorization delays, no waiting lists, and complete confidentiality.

Cash-pay context
Why pricing transparency matters here
Many patients choose cash-pay for addiction treatment to maintain complete confidentiality — insurance claims create records that can surface in background checks, life insurance applications, and employer databases. Cash-pay also eliminates prior authorization delays that can be dangerous during active substance use crises.

Why subspecialty matters
Why OpenDoc separates these care paths instead of collapsing them
Focused training matters
Specialties often branch into narrower care paths. Seeing them clearly helps patients choose providers with training that actually matches the problem.
Prices match the care path
A sports medicine visit, a spine evaluation, and a tumor consult are not the same visit. OpenDoc keeps pricing attached to the path, not just the umbrella specialty.
Less guesswork before booking
Patients should understand the likely route before they see provider cards. That lowers false starts and makes the next step into provider search feel clearer.
Better provider fit
This page keeps specialty, subspecialty, common visit types, and price context aligned so users can move into provider selection with more confidence.
