Our Team at Addiction Outreach Clinic

AOC was founded in 2007 by Dr. Nicholas Atanasoff, who saw the rising opioid epidemic characterized by the abuse of heroin, fentanyl, and pain pills in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Addiction Outreach Clinic understands 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 eliminate withdrawal symptoms and cravings. When combined with monthly behavioral counseling sessions enables patients to focus on their recovery while returning to their lives faster than when enrolled in traditional opioid addiction treatment programs. 

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.
