We are proud to announce the opening of the IMPACT (Integrated Model of Perinatal Addiction Care and Treatment) Clinic, a new outpatient addiction medicine clinic dedicated to providing specialized care for pregnant individuals facing substance use disorders. Located within the high-risk clinic at the @ecubrodysom, this clinic is the first and only clinic of its kind in eastern North Carolina. “Many individuals facing this challenge are eager to seek treatment but struggle to access the care they need due to stigma and systemic barriers. The IMPACT Clinic will provide a supportive and comprehensive approach to treatment, helping patients navigate recovery while receiving essential medical and prenatal care,” said Dr. David H. Ryan, obstetrician-gynecologist, addiction medicine provider and clinical assistant professor at ECU Health and the Brody School of Medicine.
