Getting treatment in the Vaya Partners region
Vaya Partners 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.
