What we treat
Specialized support for substance use disorders and related concerns.
Alcohol use disorder
Evidence-based options to support reduced use or sobriety goals, with ongoing follow-up and accountability.
Opioid use disorder
Assessment, treatment planning, follow-up care, and recovery maintenance—built around consistency and clear expectations.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
For opioid use disorder, MAT can reduce cravings, lower overdose risk, and support long-term recovery—when clinically appropriate. Treatment is personalized and paired with structured follow-up.
Not sure if what you’re experiencing “counts” as a substance use disorder? We can help you sort that out in a calm, nonjudgmental visit.
Our care model
Direct, relationship-based addiction care built around your recovery.
Criterion Medical uses a Direct Patient Care (DPC) membership model. Instead of billing insurance, you pay a transparent monthly fee for highly accessible, personalized care. This allows us to spend more time with you, coordinate your treatment thoughtfully, and protect your privacy.
We combine medication-assisted treatment, counseling coordination, and practical support to help you move toward a stable, meaningful life in recovery.
Membership includes:
- Comprehensive intake and stabilization plan
- Regular follow-up visits (virtual and/or in-person)
- Secure messaging and care coordination
- Medication management and monitoring
You can use your insurance separately for lab work, therapy, or other services outside of Criterion Medical.
What to expect
A calm, structured path into care.
Confidential consult
We review your history, current use, goals, and safety. You’ll leave with a clear next-step plan.
Stabilization & medication
If appropriate, we start medications and monitoring, coordinate labs, and connect you with therapy resources.
Ongoing membership care
Regular check-ins, medication adjustments, and relapse prevention work as your recovery evolves.
Membership pricing
Transparent fees. No surprise bills.
Medications, labs, and outside therapy are billed separately. You may be able to use HSA/FSA funds for some of those services.

Questions, answered
Common questions about Criterion Medical and our care.
Do you take insurance?
No. Criterion Medical operates as a Direct Patient Care practice. We charge a transparent membership fee and do not bill insurance. Some patients use HSA/FSA funds or out-of-network benefits for related services such as lab work or therapy obtained outside the practice.
When will you open?
Opening Spring 2026. Join our waiting list for the most up to date information.
Do I have to be ready to quit completely?
No. Many patients start care unsure of their exact goals. We’ll talk openly about what feels realistic for you right now—reducing, pausing, or stopping—and adjust over time as things change.
Do you offer virtual visits?
Yes. We offer secure virtual visits for patients located within our licensed states, along with in-person options when appropriate. We’ll help you choose the right mix based on your needs and safety.
How quickly can I be seen?
Most new patients are scheduled for an initial consult within 1–2 weeks, and often sooner. If you’re unsure whether you need urgent in-person care, we can help you decide on the safest option.
Is my visit confidential?
Yes. Criterion Medical operates under 42 CFR Part 2 regulation which protects the confidentiality of substance use disorder patient.
