We make opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment as simple as possible. In addition to our entire treatment process being virtual, we are currently seeking to work with many insurance companies to provide as many options as possible. To that end, we offer one of the most affordable subscription plans in the industry!
Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) refers to the use of medications to treat substance use disorders, particularly opioid use disorder (OUD). MAT is primarily used for individuals addicted to opioids such as heroin, morphine, fentanyl or prescription pain relievers. The medications commonly used in MAT include buprenorphine, and naltrexone. These medications work by normalizing brain chemistry, blocking the euphoric effects of opioids, relieving physiological cravings, and stabilizing body functions without the negative effects of the abused drug. MAT is directed by a healthcare provider and is often integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that includes counseling and support services. MAT has been shown to significantly reduce opioid use, overdose deaths, criminal activity, and infectious disease transmission among individuals struggling with opioid addiction.

Dr. Luis A. Puchi
Dr. Puchi started Athens Health to bridge the physical, financial, and social gaps that keep patients from seeking help. As a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Puchi has worked on the front lines all over the country, and has seen far too many people die from what is a treatable chronic medical condition.
“I believe in second chances, and not giving up on anyone who truly wants to seek a better life. A life of addiction is a difficult one. The barriers to treatment put up walls around people who are already in their own prison. I am hoping that we can help knock those walls down, and hand our patients the keys to let themselves out.”
