Prescription painkillers can provide real relief when used appropriately, but dependence can develop quickly and unexpectedly. What starts as managing pain after surgery, an injury, or a medical condition can sometimes spiral into a cycle that feels impossible to control. At FirePit Health, we understand how overwhelming this experience can be—both for individuals living with addiction and for families watching a loved one struggle.
Our fully virtual Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program is designed to make recovery more accessible and less intimidating. You can connect with a licensed clinician—typically within 24 hours—without leaving your home. With no waiting rooms, travel, or stigma, you can begin treatment privately and with compassion.
Starting treatment doesn’t have to be complicated. We’ve structured our program to be simple, supportive, and effective.
Book a secure and confidential video appointment—usually within 24 hours. This first step allows you to meet directly with a clinician in a private, judgment-free setting.
After understanding your history and needs, your clinician may prescribe FDA-approved medications such as Suboxone® (buprenorphine/naloxone) or Naltrexone. These medications are proven to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term stability.
Your recovery continues with ongoing telehealth visits, regular check-ins, individual therapy, and optional group counselling. By combining medical treatment with behavioral support, we help you stay accountable, motivated, and on track toward long-term recovery.
Painkiller addiction changes brain chemistry in ways that make it extremely difficult to stop without medical support. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and cravings can feel overwhelming. MAT uses safe, evidence-based medications to stabilize brain function, reduce cravings, and prevent relapse.
Medications like Suboxone are especially effective because they provide relief from withdrawal symptoms without producing the euphoric effects of opioids. When combined with therapy and lifestyle support, MAT significantly increases the likelihood of sustained recovery. To see how MAT is used across other conditions, you can explore our online MAT treatment page for a broader overview of this evidence-based approach.
Some people worry that MAT simply replaces one substance with another, but this isn’t the case. These medications are carefully prescribed and monitored to restore balance, reduce harm, and create the stability needed to rebuild your life.
Not always. If you are medically stable and not experiencing life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, you can often begin online painkiller addiction treatment safely and privately from home. Our clinicians carefully assess each patient’s situation and will let you know if a higher level of care is necessary. If detox or inpatient rehab is recommended, we’ll connect you with trusted resources to ensure you receive the right level of support.
For those dealing with broader opioid dependence, our online opioid addiction treatment program also provides virtual pathways tailored to individuals misusing prescription opioids, heroin, or fentanyl.
We know that deciding to start treatment is a big step, and it’s important to feel supported from the very beginning. At FirePit Health, we’ve designed our approach to remove barriers and provide compassionate, evidence-based care that fits your life.

Yes—online MAT combined with therapy is proven to be just as effective as in-person care. Virtual treatment removes barriers such as transportation, time off work, and stigma, making it easier for people to start and continue with care. Many patients actually find online programs more sustainable, since they can be integrated into daily routines without disruption.
No—you don’t have to be fully abstinent to begin treatment. Your clinician will guide you through a safe plan that may involve tapering use or starting medication at the right time to prevent withdrawal complications. This flexibility allows patients to begin recovery without the fear of going through unsupported withdrawal.
For many people, yes—virtual outpatient care provides all the support they need. Through regular check-ins, medication management, and therapy, patients often achieve stable, long-term recovery online. If additional support is ever needed, our team will help connect you to detox or inpatient services so you’re never left without options.
