More detail for the largest community here: Durham page

Durham County is the 5th most populous county in North Carolina, with roughly 347,240 residents. Density is not the constraint here; appointment availability, clinic hours, and insurance networks are.

Getting treatment in the Alliance Health region

Alliance Health covers the state's largest population centers — Mecklenburg, Wake, Durham, Orange, Cumberland, Harnett, and Johnston.

The Alliance counties hold most of North Carolina's population, and they have the most treatment capacity in the state. What they don't have is enough of it, at the hours people can actually use, without a wait. The barrier here is rarely that no clinic exists — it's that the clinic has a three-week wait, keeps weekday-only hours, or stopped taking your plan.

Your NC Medicaid plan in Durham County

If you're on a Behavioral Health Tailored Plan, Durham County falls under Alliance Health. If you're on a Standard Plan, your plan isn't assigned by county — it's whichever of the five is printed on your card. We're in-network with every one of them, so either way the answer is yes.
