Catawba County has roughly 170,172 residents in 416 square miles. Counties this size usually do have treatment options — concentrated in one or two population centers, on weekday hours, and frequently with a wait.

Getting treatment in the Partners Health Management region

Partners Health Management covers much of the Piedmont and foothills, from Forsyth and Davidson west through Iredell, Catawba, and Burke.

The Partners counties are a mix of mid-sized cities and small towns wrapped around them, and that mix produces a specific problem: treatment is concentrated in a handful of population centers, while a large share of the people who need it live twenty to forty minutes out. That drive is manageable once. Repeated every week or two while you're in withdrawal and possibly without a reliable car, it's the reason treatment stops.

Your NC Medicaid plan in Catawba County
