S5 E1 Opioid Treatment Programs In North Carolina

July 07, 2025 • Governor's Institute • Season 5 • Episode 1

In this episode of the Addiction Medicine Podcast, we’re joined by Anna Stanley, State Administrator of the State Opioid Treatment Authority (SOTA), to discuss the role of Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) in addressing the opioid crisis in North Carolina. We explore what OTPs are, common barriers to access like stigma and transportation, recent policy changes, and innovative approaches like mobile medication units.

Tune in to learn how North Carolina is working to expand access to treatment and integrate OTPs into the broader healthcare system.
