Addiction Treatment in Bonita Springs

Board certified in Family Medicine. Same-day appointments often available.

If drugs or alcohol have taken more ground in your life than you ever intended, you are not alone, and you have more options than you may think. Dr. Scott Jaffe provides confidential, office based addiction treatment in Bonita Springs, serving patients throughout Southwest Florida. Care is private, unhurried and provided by the same physician at every visit.

Most people who need help never call anyone. They picture a crowded clinic, a thirty day facility, or a waiting room where they might see someone they know, and they decide it is easier to keep managing on their own. Treatment here does not look like any of that.

A Private Alternative to Clinics and Rehab Facilities

This is a private medical practice, not a treatment center. There are no lines, no group check-ins and no institutional feel. You are seen in a regular medical office, at a scheduled time, by a physician who knows your history because he is the one who took it.

For many people, that matters for a practical reason: you do not have to leave your job, your family or your home to get well. Residential rehab is the right choice for some situations, and if that is what your circumstances call for, Dr. Jaffe will tell you so honestly. But many people with a substance problem do not need to check into a facility. They need consistent medical care, effective medication and a doctor who follows through. That is what this practice provides.

Your treatment is handled like any other medical care. Records are private, scheduling is discreet, and nothing about a visit here announces why you came.

What We Treat

Dr. Jaffe treats the full range of substance use disorders seen in outpatient practice:

Opioid addiction

Prescription painkillers such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, as well as heroin and fentanyl. Treatment is built around Suboxone and related buprenorphine medications, which relieve withdrawal and craving so you can function normally. Learn more on our opioid treatment page or our Suboxone treatment pages for Bonita Springs and Fort Myers.

Alcohol use disorder

If drinking has stopped being something you choose and started being something you manage, medication and physician support can help. Our alcohol treatment page explains the approach, the medications and what a first appointment covers.

Prescription drug dependence

Dependence on prescription medication can develop quietly, even when every pill was prescribed. Treatment is discreet, medically supervised and built around a safe, gradual plan rather than abrupt stopping.

Kratom addiction

Kratom dependence is real, increasingly common and often dismissed because the substance is legal. Dr. Jaffe treats it with the same medical seriousness as any opioid. See the kratom addiction treatment page.

One safety note that applies to all of the above: stopping some substances suddenly can be dangerous, and alcohol withdrawal in particular can be a medical emergency for someone who is physically dependent. Do not simply stop on your own. Call first, and we will help you plan a safe way forward.

How Medication Assisted Treatment Works

Medication assisted treatment, or MAT, pairs prescription medication with ongoing physician care. The medication does a specific job: it quiets withdrawal and craving so that your body is not fighting you while you do the real work of recovery. Depending on the substance, that may mean Suboxone or another buprenorphine medication for opioids, or naltrexone, Vivitrol or other options for alcohol.

An honest word about what medication does and does not do. It does not cure addiction on its own, and any practice that promises otherwise is not being straight with you. What it does is remove the physical noise that makes early recovery so hard to sustain, and it works best with regular follow up from a doctor who adjusts the plan as your life changes. That follow up is the heart of how this practice works: the same physician, visit after visit, for as long as it takes.

What Happens at Your First Appointment

The unknown is what keeps most people from calling, so here is exactly what to expect. Your first visit is a private conversation with Dr. Jaffe. He will ask about what you are using, for how long, what you have tried before, and your overall health. Nothing you say will surprise him, and none of it is met with judgment.

You will leave that appointment with a clear plan: which medication, if any, makes sense for you, how follow up visits will work, and what to do if something goes wrong at two in the morning. In many cases, treatment can begin at that first visit. Same-day appointments are often available, because when someone is finally ready to ask for help, a three week wait is how the moment gets lost.

Care From a Physician Who Knows You

Your care is provided by Dr. Scott Jaffe, board certified in Family Medicine and in practice since 1992. He has additional training in addiction medicine and is a member of the Collier County Medical Society. At every visit you see the same physician, in the same office, who knows your history and your goals. Addiction is a medical condition, and it deserves the same continuity of care as any other.

Payment, Insurance and Prescription Costs

We accept debit and credit cards, both in our office and over the phone. Our office does not bill insurance companies directly, but 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. The medication for your treatment is usually covered by insurance if you have coverage. Without insurance, the monthly prescription typically costs roughly $40 to $50. You are free to fill your prescription at whichever pharmacy you prefer. If cost is a concern, please call and ask. We would rather answer the question than have it keep someone from getting treatment.

FAQs About Addiction Treatment

Is my treatment confidential?

Yes. You are treated in a private medical office, your records are handled like any other medical record, and scheduling is discreet. Nobody sits in a group, and nobody in the waiting room knows why anyone else is there.

Do I have to go away to rehab?

No. Treatment here is outpatient and office based, which means you keep living your life, working your job and sleeping in your own bed while you get well. If your situation genuinely calls for a higher level of care, Dr. Jaffe will say so and help you find it.

Do you prescribe Suboxone?

Yes. Suboxone and related buprenorphine medications are a core part of opioid treatment at this practice. See our Suboxone treatment pages for how it works and what the first visit covers.

Can I keep working during treatment?

Yes, and most patients do. Appointments are scheduled like any other doctor visit, and telehealth follow ups can often save you the drive entirely.

Do you take insurance, and what does treatment cost?

We accept debit and credit cards, in the office and over the phone. We do not bill insurance directly, but we provide the completed paperwork you need to submit for reimbursement, and we handle prior authorizations when your plan requires one. The medication is usually covered by insurance. Without coverage, the monthly prescription typically costs roughly $40 to $50.
