Suggest Treatment For Opiate Addiction

My son is 26 years old and has been a opiate addict for over 8 years. He is taking Suboxan now but not prescribed by a doctor.....He gets it off the street...It really seems to help him...He is no longer able to be on my health insurance and can hardly go to work if he doesn't have this. He could honestly be considered disabled!!!! I don't know what to do because He feels he needs this to function.....My question is how do I get him prescrbed this medication and not have insurance,

Suboxone costs about 8 dollars a pill. The doctor visits vary... and can often run over 100 dollars a visit.
Obamacare is designed for coverage of the underinsured. and health departments would have that information.
