Online Suboxone treatment in Lumberton, NC
Virtual Addiction Medicine provides telehealth addiction care for people in Lumberton and Robeson County. You can speak with our team about a first appointment without arranging a trip to our practice.
Serving Lumberton residents by video. NC Medicaid and commercial insurance accepted; verify your specific benefits before booking.
Start with the practical questions that affect access
Before scheduling, tell us if you need help understanding insurance, connecting to a video visit, or arranging a private place to speak. A phone or computer is only part of the setup: your clinician also needs to be able to hear you, review your history, and discuss your care confidentially.
If you are unsure whether your coverage is active, ask the team what information is needed to check it. If you do not have insurance, request an explanation of self-pay costs before making a decision. Local public-health resources may also help you identify other services close to home.
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 Lumberton video visit
Can someone help me prepare for the online appointment?
A trusted person may help with technology if you want that assistance. Tell the team in advance, and let the clinician know who is present during the visit. You should have an opportunity to discuss personal concerns privately.
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.
