Board certified in Family Medicine. Same-day appointments often available.
Dr. Scott Jaffe provides confidential, doctor-led addiction treatment for residents of Lehigh Acres, FL, just a short drive from his Bonita Springs office. Patients from across Lee County come to Dr. Jaffe for private, physician-managed care for opioid dependence, alcohol use disorder, and substance abuse recovery, alongside treatment for the anxiety and ADHD that often accompany addiction. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or supporting a family member through recovery, Dr. Jaffe offers same-week appointments and a fully private treatment environment.
A small private practice means you work directly with the doctor, not a rotating staff. Every treatment plan is built around your specific situation, your medical history, and your recovery goals. There are no group programs, no shared waiting rooms with dozens of other patients, and no rushed appointments. Lehigh Acres patients consistently choose this practice for the privacy, the continuity of care, and the relief of working with one trusted physician throughout their recovery.
Confidential Addiction Treatment for Lehigh Acres Residents
Addiction is one of the most personal challenges a family can face, and the decision to seek treatment is often shaped by concerns about privacy. Will my employer find out? Will my neighbors know? Will my recovery be visible to my community? For Lehigh Acres residents, those concerns are valid and worth taking seriously.
Dr. Jaffe’s practice is built around confidentiality. The office is in Bonita Springs, outside of the immediate Lehigh Acres community, which means you are unlikely to encounter neighbors, coworkers, or extended family in the waiting room. Treatment records are HIPAA-protected. Medication-assisted treatment, when appropriate, is managed entirely within the practice without referral to a public clinic. The result is a recovery process that stays between you, your physician, and the people you choose to share it with.
Addiction Services Available for Lehigh Acres Patients
Dr. Jaffe treats the full spectrum of substance use disorders, with particular focus on the conditions most commonly affecting Southwest Florida patients.
Opioid Treatment and Suboxone Therapy
Opioid dependence (whether from prescription pain medication, heroin, or fentanyl exposure) is treated with evidence-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Dr. Jaffe prescribes Suboxone and other buprenorphine based medications that reduce cravings, prevent withdrawal, and stabilize patients during early recovery. The induction process is managed in-office with close physician supervision, and ongoing maintenance appointments are scheduled around your work and family commitments.
Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment
Alcohol addiction treatment is outpatient care: medication options such as naltrexone or acamprosate when appropriate, and ongoing physician-led recovery support. Anyone who is physically dependent on alcohol and at risk of withdrawal needs supervised medical detox first, which this office does not provide. Dr. Jaffe can help you plan the step that comes after.. Many Lehigh Acres patients first seek help after a health scare, a DUI, or a family intervention. Dr. Jaffe meets each patient where they are without judgment and builds a treatment plan that fits the patient’s life.
General Substance Abuse Treatment
Treatment for stimulant use disorder, benzodiazepine dependence, and polysubstance abuse follows the same physician-led, confidential model. Each plan is individualized.
Anxiety and Addiction Dual Diagnosis
A significant portion of patients with addiction also struggle with underlying anxiety, panic disorders, or PTSD. Dr. Jaffe treats both conditions concurrently, rather than referring you to a separate provider.
ADHD and Addiction Dual Diagnosis
Adult ADHD is frequently undiagnosed in patients who developed substance use issues as a way to manage focus, restlessness, or executive dysfunction. Dr. Jaffe provides comprehensive adult ADHD evaluation and, when appropriate, integrates ADHD treatment into the broader recovery plan.
Opioid Addiction Treatment for Lehigh Acres: Buprenorphine, Suboxone and What to Expect
Most Lehigh Acres patients who contact the office about opioids are dealing with dependence on prescription pain medication, heroin or fentanyl, and many have already tried to stop on their own. Dr. Jaffe treats opioid dependence with buprenorphine based medication, including Suboxone and Subutex, combined with ongoing care from the same physician at every visit. Starting the medication is managed in the office with physician supervision. There are no daily dosing lines and no group program. Your prescription is sent to whichever pharmacy is closest to your home in Lehigh Acres, and once you are established, follow up visits are spaced out, with telehealth available when appropriate.

Dr. Jaffe has additional training in addiction medicine and is board certified in Family Medicine. If you are physically dependent and worried about withdrawal, call the office first so he can advise you on the safest way to begin.
Why Lehigh Acres Patients Choose Dr. Scott Jaffe
Lehigh Acres residents have access to a range of behavioral health providers across the Fort Myers metro area. The reasons patients consistently choose Dr. Jaffe’s Bonita Springs practice include:
- Direct physician access: You see Dr. Jaffe at every appointment, not a rotating roster of staff. Phone calls and messages reach the doctor directly.
- Confidential setting: A private, single-physician practice rather than a large clinic or hospital system, with no public waiting room exposure.
- Same-week appointments: New patient appointments are typically available within 5 to 7 business days, often sooner for urgent situations.
- Comprehensive care under one roof: Addiction, anxiety, ADHD, and dual-diagnosis treatment are all managed by the same physician, eliminating the coordination problems that come with separate providers.
- Payment and insurance: Visits are paid by debit or credit card. The office does not bill insurance companies directly, but you receive the completed paperwork to submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Patients who prefer to keep treatment off their insurance record can choose not to submit it.
- No group sessions: Treatment is one-on-one, in-office, with the physician. There are no mandatory group meetings.
- Convenient location: The Bonita Springs office is a straightforward 30 to 40 minute drive from most of Lehigh Acres, with easy parking and discreet entry.
Convenient Drive From Lehigh Acres to Bonita Springs
The Dr. Scott Jaffe office is located in Bonita Springs, just south of the Naples line. From Lehigh Acres, most patients reach the office in 30 to 40 minutes depending on the time of day, taking either I-75 south or US-41 (Tamiami Trail) south via Fort Myers.
This out-of-community location is intentional for the patients who want privacy. Many Lehigh Acres patients say the drive itself is part of what makes the treatment process work: a quiet hour away from the familiar surroundings of home and work, followed by a confidential physician appointment, followed by the drive back.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation, typically 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Jaffe reviews your medical history, current substance use, mental health background, family history, and recovery goals. There is no rush, and there are no questions you have to answer that you are not ready to answer.
By the end of the first visit, you will have a clear treatment plan, a prescription if medication-assisted treatment is part of the plan, a follow-up schedule, and direct contact information for the doctor. Most Lehigh Acres patients are surprised by how different this feels from a hospital intake or a referral clinic. The pace is unhurried, the tone is respectful, and the next steps are clear.
Frequently Asked Questions About Addiction Treatment in Lehigh Acres
Do you treat Lehigh Acres patients even though your office is in Bonita Springs?
Yes. Lehigh Acres patients are a regular and valued part of the practice. The 30 to 40 minute drive is short by Southwest Florida standards and is often a benefit rather than a drawback, since the out-of-community location supports the privacy many patients want.
Is Suboxone treatment available for Lehigh Acres patients?
Yes. Dr. Jaffe prescribes Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) for opioid dependence treatment. Induction is managed in-office, and ongoing maintenance prescriptions can be sent to a pharmacy near your home in Lehigh Acres or anywhere else convenient.
Will my treatment be confidential?
Yes. The practice operates under HIPAA confidentiality standards. Treatment records are not shared with employers, family members, or anyone else without your written permission. For patients who prefer to keep treatment entirely off their insurance record, the office offers self-pay pricing that does not generate insurance claims.
How quickly can I be seen?
New patient appointments are typically available within 5 to 7 business days. For situations involving active withdrawal, opioid overdose risk, or other urgent circumstances, the office can often see patients sooner. Call the office directly to discuss timing.
Do you accept insurance?
Our office does not bill insurance companies directly. After your visit we provide the completed paperwork you need to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, and we handle prior authorizations when your plan requires one. Office visits are paid by debit or credit card. If cost is a concern, call and ask. We would rather answer the question than have it keep someone from getting treatment.
Do you treat anxiety and ADHD alongside addiction?
Yes. Many addiction patients have underlying anxiety, depression, or ADHD that contributed to or worsens substance use. Dr. Jaffe treats these conditions concurrently rather than referring out, which improves outcomes and simplifies care.
What happens if I have a setback during treatment?
Setbacks are part of recovery for many patients and are not treated as failures. If you experience a relapse or struggle to stay on plan, call the office. Dr. Jaffe will adjust your treatment plan, increase appointment frequency if needed, and continue working with you toward recovery. The relationship is long-term, not transactional.
Do family members participate in treatment?
Family involvement is welcomed when the patient wants it. Family members can attend appointments with the patient’s permission, and Dr. Jaffe is happy to provide guidance to family members on how to support a loved one in recovery. For patients who prefer to keep treatment private, no family contact is required.
