Our Team at Addiction Outreach Clinic

AOC was founded in 2007 by Dr. Nicholas Atanasoff, who saw the rising heroin and pain medication addiction epidemic in Ohio and Pennsylvania and understood the need for a results-driven, common-sense treatment approach for patients based on their lifestyle, work commitments and other responsibilities.

Dr. Atanasoff started prescribing a relatively new drug at the time called Suboxone® which includes a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone to help reduce/prevent cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This medication, combined with a required monthly behavioral counseling session, enables patients to focus on their recovery efforts while returning to their lives faster than traditional opioid addiction treatment programs, which may require up to 20 counseling appointments per month.

Dr. Atanasoff has expanded his practice into eight clinics, with much of the growth driven by referrals from current and former patients. Since its founding, AOC has helped several thousands of patients in Ohio and Pennsylvania recover from opioid addiction and regain their lives.
