Key facts
- Start with adult treatment providers inside Orange, Durham, or Wake and confirm the right level of care directly.
- FindTreatment.gov offers an anonymous facility search. Use facility listings for medication treatment; the individual buprenorphine-practitioner search was removed in June 2026.
- NC DHHS links to an opioid-treatment locator, Connections App, peer support, and other state treatment resources.
Step by step
- Ask what the person wants help with and whether there is an immediate safety concern.
- Use the local directory or FindTreatment.gov with an Orange, Durham, or Wake location; verify that the facility is physically inside one of the three counties.
- Ask the provider about assessment, openings, insurance or uninsured options, costs, transportation, and medication availability.
- With permission, help make the first contact and agree on a follow-up.
Common mistakes to avoid
- A directory listing does not guarantee an opening, free care, insurance acceptance, or a good fit.
