I work with people who have problems with opioids, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and many other addictive substances. I also provide care for the family members as they are often affected in significant ways.

As a member of Healthy Haywood I was very involved in their initiative to combat prescription drug abuse in Haywood County. This project was called “Prescription for Safety”, and it was led by a group of concerned citizens and professionals working to combat this epidemic of addiction.

I have experience working with people using medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD, formerly known as MAT, medication-assisted treatment) such as buprenorphine (Suboxone) and methadone
