About The Clinic at 8737
Our Mission
At The Clinic at 8737, our mission is to provide compassionate, judgment-free, evidence-based care to individuals and families affected by opioid and kratom dependence. We believe recovery is possible, and every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and individualized care.
Recovery starts here.
The Clinic at 8737, a division of Crooked Letter Health PLLC, was established in Escatawpa in 2020 and is owned and directed by Billy Dycus, NP.
We operate as a completely separate and independent Medication for Opioid Use Disorder program from Dr. Hoover’s practice. Although Billy also serves as an independent contractor within Dr. Hoover’s MOUD program, the two clinics are distinct entities. Dr. Hoover’s program was originally headquartered in Gautier, Mississippi, and relocated to our clinic space in 2024. While both programs share the same building, they operate independently with separate management and clinical oversight.
Meet Billy Dycus, NP
Billy has been a Nurse Practitioner since 2018 and a Registered Nurse since 2007. He holds a degree in Counseling Psychology and worked in a methadone clinic as a substance abuse therapist prior to beginning his nursing career.
He has worked alongside Dr. Rick Hoover for the past eight years under his tutelage and has extensive experience in substance abuse treatment and counseling. His background uniquely blends medical management with addiction counseling principles.
The Clinic at 8737 is intentionally a laid-back, family-oriented, no judgment zone. Patients are treated with respect, honesty, and dignity, not stigma.

Our Story
The Clinic at 8737 was built from years of frontline experience in addiction treatment and a deep belief that recovery should feel personal, respectful, and hopeful. After working as a Registered Nurse since 2007 and later becoming a Nurse Practitioner in 2018, Billy Dycus brought together his background in Counseling Psychology, substance abuse therapy in a methadone clinic, and eight years working alongside Dr. Rick Hoover to create a program that feels different. This clinic was founded to offer structured, evidence-based buprenorphine treatment in a laid-back, no-judgment environment where patients are treated like people, not numbers. We believe recovery works best when patients feel heard, supported, and part of something that feels more like family than a clinic. Recovery starts here.
