Telehealth Services For Addiction Treatment
Addiction Campuses is now providing Telehealth services for patients with substance use disorders. Our new service will allow patients to see a psychologist, therapist, or another treatment professional from the privacy of their own home.
Telehealth Services And Online Addiction Treatment
Telehealth services provide safe, convenient, and high-quality health care to patients in need. At Addiction Campuses, we’ll begin using telehealth services in two ways:
1. Our counselors at Addiction Campuses can video conference with patients from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
2. Our treatment providers will virtually attend to active patients in our own facilities.

Benefits of Telehealth Services For Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Telehealth services exist to provide treatment options for patients in all areas of the country who might otherwise go without care. These services can also make treatment more convenient for patients who cannot come to an in-person session easily, thus increasing the likeliness that they will attend.
In addition, Telehealth services can be used to connect healthcare providers with patients during times when in-person sessions are impractical or prohibited.
Specific to substance abuse treatment, Telehealth can be used to cover many needs, from care management and coordination to psychotherapy sessions. Some specific examples include:
- Rural location— Patients who live in rural areas with few service providers can access better care via Telehealth services.
- Long-term care — Telehealth can be used to provide multiple services on a remote basis, enabling patients to access the care they need without coming in person to the treatment facility.
- Psychoeducation — Telehealth services can be used to provide patients with useful information about recovery and healthy lifestyle choices.
- Medication reminders — Telehealth services can be used to encourage adherence to recommended medication schedules.
- Added patient privacy — For patients who feel more comfortable receiving services privately and anonymously, Telehealth services can dramatically increase the likelihood of attending treatment sessions.
- Provider education — MAT providers who distribute medications can benefit from Telehealth-based education services.
How Do Insurance and Payments for Telehealth Work?
HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) can be used to pay for any of the above programs. Contact us to see if additional insurance coverage may apply.
How Is Telehealth at Addiction Campuses Being Used?
Telehealth services are being implemented to offer added convenience in Addiction Campuses’ residential programs, as well as to provide remote supportive services to those who cannot come to an in-person appointment or attend a group-based treatment.
