JOHNATHAN IS THAT TRUE? Wonder why all the suboxone Clinics in our area charges a monthly fee at my clinic it is $175.00 a month and at our Myrtle Beach clinic the fee is $250.00.

Below is what I copied off my clinics website.

There is another clinic crossroads at the bottom of this post I got off their website in my area because I was thinking wow how come my clinic charged and do all the others I went on all the area websites to see and they all charge we are the lowest one one of them was $300.00 per month.
DOES ANYONE ELSE’S CLINIC CHARGE A FEE FOR THE MONTH??????

Crossroads clinic charges around $275 a month, which does not cover the cost of the drug, and they do not take insurance, Stanton said.The pill, which costs around $15 a day, is covered by insurance and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid.Ittel said the treatment costs far less than what some people are paying to get their drugs on the street.
“It will be a nice option for a niche population, but as it is prescribed now, it won’t replace methadone programs,� he said.
