At Pyramid Healthcare, we are dedicated to providing evidence-based opioid addiction treatment through our methadone program in North Carolina.

Opioid addiction is a complex disease that affects not only physical health but also mental well-being, relationships and overall quality of life. Our methadone treatment program is designed to help individuals stabilize, regain control and build a sustainable recovery plan.
