Can I really get a Suboxone appointment the same day in North Carolina?

Yes — same-day appointments are available. Virtual Addiction Medicine is a 100% virtual North Carolina practice, so there is no waiting list for a room and no drive to arrange.

Why speed actually matters here

The window in which someone decides to get help is often narrow. Withdrawal is miserable, the means of relief is close at hand, and every extra day between the decision and the appointment is a day that decision can come apart. This is not a motivational failure — it is how the condition works.

That is the practical argument for same-day access. It isn't about convenience. A person who can start treatment the day they ask is in a substantially different position than one told to come back in three weeks.

What we can and can't promise

We can promise that appointments are genuinely available on short notice, that you will not be put on a list and forgotten, and that we will tell you plainly what is open rather than being vague about it.

We can't promise a specific hour before you've asked, and we can't promise that medication is appropriate for you — that is a clinical judgment your physician makes during the visit. What we can say is that if buprenorphine is the right treatment, it is generally prescribed from that first visit rather than after another round of appointments.

What to have ready so nothing slows you down

A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, and somewhere private to talk for about 30 minutes.

Your insurance card if you have one — and if you don't, say so, because there are usually options.

The pharmacy you want prescriptions sent to.

An honest account of what you have been using and when you last used. This one matters most: the timing of your last dose directly affects when it is safe to start, and being vague about it is the main thing that delays treatment.

Common questions

Yes. Same-day appointments are available. Send a request and we will confirm what is open. Because care is 100% virtual, there is no travel time between deciding and being seen.

When buprenorphine is clinically appropriate and it is safe to start, prescriptions are generally sent electronically to your pharmacy from that first visit. Your physician confirms what applies to your situation.

No. You can request an appointment directly — no referral and no primary care gatekeeper.

Say so in your request. It changes how quickly we try to get you seen and it changes the instructions you will need. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
