Getting treatment in the Trillium Health Resources region

Trillium Health Resources covers most of eastern North Carolina plus a broad band through the center of the state — the largest LME/MCO footprint by county count.

Eastern North Carolina has the widest gap in the state between how many people need buprenorphine treatment and how many prescribers are available to provide it. Across much of the coastal plain, the nearest option can be in the next county — or two counties over — and public transportation between them effectively doesn't exist.
