The state had a 23% increase in ER visits due to opioid overdose between 2019 and 2020. Through Bright Heart Health’s telemedicine program, opioid use disorder patients now have another mode of treatment available to them.
A common reason why individuals struggling with opioid use disorder are reluctant to quit is because of the painful withdrawal, also known as “dope sickness.” To alleviate symptoms and facilitate safe withdrawal, we prescribe suboxone (buprenorphine) which will give you the same “high” but won’t get you hooked, allowing a steady transition out of withdrawal. Suboxone is safe for long-term use as long as it is managed by the provider. One-on-one sessions with a BHH counselor and participating in group therapy can improve the underlying conditions that may have contributed to your opioid use. If you are a North Carolina patient who experiences chronic pain, we also offer chronic pain management services. We can help you manage your pain without prescribing potentially addictive meds.
