Bring a complete medication picture to your evaluation
Make a list of prescription medications, over-the-counter products, and supplements before your appointment. If you have received addiction treatment previously, include the medication name, prescriber, and how treatment has been going. Accurate information helps your physician assess your situation.
If you are seeking help related to a product such as 7-OH, describe the product and your experience rather than guessing which treatment you need. Our practice has a separate 7-OH information page, and the physician will discuss appropriate options after evaluating you.
Your physician and your treatment plan
Dr. Richard Pavelock provides addiction medicine care through video appointments. Your visit includes a discussion of your history, current medications, and goals. When appropriate, your physician may recommend medication for opioid use disorder, including buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), with ongoing follow-up.

Questions before your Hickory video visit
Can I ask about treatment if I am not sure whether Suboxone is right for me?
Yes. An evaluation is an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, goals, and history. You do not need to choose a medication before contacting us, and no specific medication is guaranteed by requesting a visit.
How do I check insurance or ask about self-pay?
Send the team your current plan information and ask about the expected cost before your visit. Coverage and patient responsibility depend on your benefits. If you are uninsured, ask about the practice’s self-pay option.
