Most patients treated by our service initially seek care, during their acute hospitalization, at UNC Health Southeastern.
The primary service (Emergency Department, General Medicine, Behavioral Health and OB/GYN) requests consultation from Breeches Buoy Addiction Medicine to provide the following to at risk patients: clinical diagnosis, acute clinical stabilization utilizing medication if indicated, ongoing support through Certified Clinical Peer Support Specialists and acute outpatient care during the interval between hospital discharge and the start of recommended treatment.
The team at Breeches Buoy Addiction Medicine Service specializes in assisting patients suffering from addiction. Our team of certified experts offers acute clinical stabilization, hope and compassion to each patient served.

Patients receiving outpatient consultation are offered a treatment plan according to the American Society of Addiction Medicine Criteria. Assistance with access to recommended treatment is offered to each patient through ongoing support of Certified Clinical Peer Support Specialists. Psychotherapy services are offered to patients who wish to continue ongoing engagement but are undecided about receiving treatment services.

"The individualization of the program and the personal attention our referrals receive from therapists and staff at Breeches Buoy make all the difference in seeking freedom from active addiction."
