Office-based buprenorphine care may also be available through primary-care and addiction-medicine practices. Search FindTreatment.gov by ZIP code for additional providers.

MAT Treatment Options in Delaware by Medication
Methadone clinics in Delaware
The CMS file lists 15 Delaware OTP locations in 10 towns, including three in Dover and two each in Wilmington, Newark and Georgetown. Methadone for OUD is provided through certified OTPs. At the start, clinic visits can be frequent, and the care team determines the dosing and take-home schedule. Read the methadone treatment guide and learn what an OTP does.
Buprenorphine and Suboxone doctors in Delaware
Buprenorphine treatment in Delaware may be available through qualified office-based clinicians as well as addiction treatment programs. The three DSAMH Treatment Access Centers can help residents identify options and referrals. Telehealth may be possible under applicable federal and state rules; a clinician decides whether it fits a patient’s needs. Learn about Suboxone and buprenorphine.
Long-acting buprenorphine: Sublocade and Brixadi
Long-acting injectable buprenorphine can reduce the number of times medication must be taken, but it still requires a prescribing and administration plan. Delaware residents can ask treatment programs and buprenorphine providers whether injectable options are offered, how initiation works, and whether their insurance covers the product. Learn about Sublocade and ask about Brixadi availability.
Naltrexone and Vivitrol in Delaware
Extended-release injectable naltrexone is another medication option for opioid use disorder. It is started only after an appropriate opioid-free period because giving it too soon can trigger withdrawal. DSAMH referral services can help Delaware residents compare medication-based treatment settings. Read about naltrexone and Vivitrol.
| Medication | Where available in Delaware | Visits at start | Delaware Medicaid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Methadone | Certified OTP | Often frequent clinic visits | Covered |
| Buprenorphine / Suboxone | OTP or qualified prescriber | Depends on care plan | Covered |
| Sublocade / Brixadi | Qualified clinician or treatment facility | Product-specific visits | Ask about product coverage |
| Naltrexone / Vivitrol | Qualified clinician or treatment facility | Assessment, then scheduled injections | Covered |
Methadone (OTP) Rules in Delaware
Delaware methadone OTPs operate under federal SAMHSA/DEA requirements, including 42 CFR Part 8, and state oversight through DSAMH. The CMS directory identifies locations in New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties, but individual clinics set their intake process and schedules.
Intake, dosing and take-home medication
Ask your chosen Delaware OTP about first-visit paperwork, identification, medication history, transportation and when dosing might begin. Federal 2024 OTP rules allow greater clinical flexibility for take-home doses; each care team still evaluates safety and applicable state requirements.
Guest dosing and transfers
If you need a temporary dose away from your usual clinic or plan to move between a Delaware OTP and another program, discuss guest dosing or transfer arrangements with both clinics before travel. Do not assume a receiving program can accommodate an unscheduled visit.
Paying for MAT in Delaware
Delaware Medicaid: Diamond State Health Plan
Delaware expanded Medicaid on January 1, 2014, according to KFF. Delaware Medicaid, administered by the Division of Medicaid & Medical Assistance (DMMA), covers medication for opioid use disorder under the federal Medicaid MOUD coverage requirement. Ask DMMA or your health plan about network status, medication-specific authorization and visit costs.
See the Delaware Medicaid program website.
Medicare
Medicare Part B has a specific OTP benefit for eligible beneficiaries. Office-based prescribed medicines may have coverage under other parts of Medicare depending on how they are provided and plan terms; review benefits before choosing a Delaware clinic.
Private insurance
Private coverage varies by network, medication and level of care. Delaware residents can ask clinics to check methadone OTP participation, office-based buprenorphine prescribing and injectable medication benefits separately.
Without insurance
Delaware DSAMH Treatment Access Centers assess and refer adults to state-funded substance use treatment. People without insurance can contact the Wilmington, Dover or Georgetown center and ask about eligibility, funding and available programs.
| Service | Covered | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Methadone for OUD | Yes | Federal Medicaid MOUD requirement; OTP/network details depend on plan |
| Buprenorphine | Yes | Federal Medicaid MOUD requirement; check prescribing and pharmacy rules |
| Naltrexone | Yes | Federal Medicaid MOUD requirement; confirm formulation |
| Outpatient SUD treatment | Confirm with DMMA | Benefit details depend on eligibility and plan |
| Residential SUD treatment | Confirm with DMMA | Check medical necessity and program participation |

Telehealth MAT in Delaware
Telehealth buprenorphine visits may be an option for Delaware residents, depending on the clinical situation, the prescriber and state requirements. Federal DEA/HHS controlled-medication telemedicine flexibilities are scheduled through December 31, 2026; these policies can change.
A clinician may use telehealth for assessment or follow-up where permitted, but methadone for opioid use disorder is still dispensed through OTP arrangements. Ask a provider serving Delaware whether an in-person examination, pharmacy pickup or additional visit is required.
Opioid Overdose in Delaware: Why Access Matters
Delaware recorded 338 drug overdose deaths in 2024, with an age-adjusted all-drug death rate of 33.4 per 100,000 people, according to CDC NCHS data presented by USAFacts and KFF. That rate was lower than Delaware’s 2022 peak of 55.3 but remained above the U.S. 2024 rate of 23.1.
| Year | All-drug death rate | Opioid death rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 48.0 | 43.0 |
| 2020 | 47.3 | 43.9 |
| 2021 | 54.0 | 48.1 |
| 2022 | 55.3 | 50.2 |
| 2023 | 53.0 | 47.0 |
| 2024 | 33.4 | 28.9 |
Delaware’s opioid-involved overdose death rate in 2024 was 28.9 per 100,000, compared with a national opioid rate of 16.0 (CDC via KFF). Access to medication treatment and overdose-reversal naloxone both matter.

Naloxone and overdose protections
Delaware’s Division of Public Health issued a pharmacy naloxone standing order in 2017, allowing dispensing without an individual prescription; naloxone is also available over the counter nationally. Delaware’s 2013 Good Samaritan overdose law gives specified protections for people who seek overdose help, but does not cover Class A, B or C felonies.
MAT for Special Populations in Delaware
Pregnant and postpartum people
Delaware residents who are pregnant or postpartum can ask an OTP, obstetric care team or DSAMH Treatment Access Center for coordinated medication-based OUD care. Methadone and buprenorphine are established treatment options in pregnancy. Medication decisions should be made with clinicians experienced in perinatal care.
Veterans
Veterans in Delaware can ask their VA care team about medication for opioid use disorder and request referral to an appropriate VA or community clinician. DSAMH’s three Treatment Access Centers provide another entry point for information about treatment access.
Adolescents and young adults
Young people in Delaware should seek an age-appropriate assessment from a qualified clinician. Medication eligibility, consent and privacy considerations can differ from adult treatment; ask a treatment service which age groups it serves.
People leaving jail or prison
Continuity of OUD medication and overdose prevention is especially important around release from incarceration. Delaware residents preparing for release can seek a treatment appointment, medication transfer plan and naloxone information before the transition.
Rural residents
People in rural Sussex and Kent counties may need to plan reliable travel if they begin methadone at an OTP. The CMS list includes locations in Milford, Georgetown, Millsboro, Seaford, Harrington and Dover; DSAMH can help discuss additional treatment pathways.
