Can I see a Suboxone doctor in Winston-Salem without going to an office?
Yes. Virtual Addiction Medicine is a North Carolina telehealth practice serving patients in Winston-Salem and throughout Forsyth County. Appointments happen by secure video, buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) is prescribed when clinically appropriate, and prescriptions go electronically to the Winston-Salem-area pharmacy you choose.

Winston-Salem has real treatment capacity. The problem is timing — appointments are often weeks out and concentrated downtown. Telehealth gets you a start date instead of a place in line.
What to do while you're on a waitlist
A three-week wait for a first buprenorphine appointment sounds administrative. It isn't. Three weeks is long enough for the window in which someone was ready to get help to close — and for the overdose risk that comes with continued use to keep running the whole time.
If you're already waiting for a spot at a local program, you don't have to choose. Starting treatment here doesn't forfeit your place in line somewhere else, and if you later decide the in-person program is the better long-term fit, we'll send your records with your written consent and hand you off cleanly.
The reason to start now is simple: the sooner buprenorphine is on board, the sooner cravings and withdrawal stop running your day. Everything else — counseling, long-term planning, whatever program you eventually land in — is easier from there.

Common questions
Yes. With your written consent we'll send records to wherever you land so nothing has to be reconstructed from memory.
Care is designed around telehealth. If something in your history makes in-person testing or a higher level of care the right call, we'll tell you directly rather than keeping you in the wrong setting.
Prior relapses, prior discharges from other programs, and legal history don't disqualify you here. Tell us what happened and we'll work from there.
For prescribing and managing buprenorphine, the evidence supports telehealth as an effective way to deliver this care. Where an in-person evaluation genuinely matters, we'll say so.
