About the Course

After countless requests, especially from the psych folks, The Elite Nurse Practitioner is proud to announce the release of The Opioid Addiction Treatment Clinic Course!

This course is designed for the nurse practitioner who has an interest in helping fight the opioid epidemic that has affected this country over the past 20 years.

Did you know that over 2 million people in the United States have an opioid use disorder? Over 800,000 of those people used heroin in 2018 alone… What is even more shocking is that between 40,000-50,000 people die from an opioid overdose every year! This epidemic is real, and nurse practitioners can help fight this disease that has wreaked havoc within our communities!

The opioid addiction treatment market continues to grow. It is almost a $3 billion dollar market and the demand for these types of services continue to grow. According to the CDC, the overdose rate in 2020 increased during the COVID pandemic and unfortunately does not look promising moving forward. These patients need treatment and for the astute nurse practitioner entrepreneur, you can be on the front line while creating a successful and in-demand practice.

This course will teach the nurse practitioner who has ZERO experience with opioid addiction treatment on how to practice this niche service and how to open a successful opioid addiction treatment clinic! You do not have to be psych certified to practice this niche service line. Anyone from an FNP, ANP, to a PMHNP can do this!

Opioid addiction clinics (or “Suboxone” clinics) have been around for almost 20 years and for good reason: they are profitable, the services are in demand, they can be done part-time, and you make an impactful difference on the lives of your patients and your community. There is a reason why so many doctors own a part-time opioid addiction treatment clinic! Well, now it is the nurse practitioners turn to get out there and get one started on their own! It is very simple and cheap to start!

This course provides you EVERYTHING you need to begin integrating opioid addiction services into your practice and how to build a profitable and impactful opioid addiction treatment clinic!

Tara: Justin has a great program for nurse entrepreneurs for sure! It is because of The Elite NP and Justin’s great support that I’m launching this week! He and his platform is encouraging, uplifting and truly makes you believe you can be free from the system! Highly recommend!

Chris B APRN-FNP-C: I wish I had discovered The Elite NP BEFORE I opened my own practice. It would have saved me thousands of waste dollars and untold wasted hours of time. I am thankful that Justin is sharing his wisdom obtained through trial and errors to help other avoid the same pitfalls and be successful.

Susan M: Justin's classes are structured and easy to follow. I have taken 3 of them. I do appreciate the quality content and the time he put into making this happen. It is certainly life changing for some. It's great to see a fellow NP make a resource available for other NPs that want to do something different or just want to be their own boss. Thank you Justin!

Makenzie L: Justin is a phenomenal mentor! He is truly paving the way for NPs across the US. Without the Elite NP group I never would’ve felt confident enough to even remotely consider branching out on my own. Looking back over a year ago to where I am now it’s just astounding. I’m so thankful I stumbled across this page! Thank you Justin and all the other NPs for the ongoing support.
