Medication-Assisted Treatment in Murphy
Methadone Treatment
At MedMark Murphy, medication-assisted treatment includes methadone, a full opioid agonist that reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings. It’s taken once a day under medical supervision, paired with counseling and support.
Early in treatment you’ll come in daily. As you stabilize, take-home doses may be earned based on your progress and program guidelines.
Buprenorphine and Suboxone Treatment
Buprenorphine may also be available at MedMark Murphy. It works on the same receptors as methadone but has a ceiling effect, lowering the risk of misuse and overdose when taken as prescribed. Ask your provider at your evaluation which options this center currently offers, or see our guide to methadone versus buprenorphine.
OBOT (Office-Based Buprenorphine Treatment) Now Available
MedMark Murphy now offers buprenorphine through office-based opioid treatment. You can take it either as a daily sublingual medication or get it as a long-acting injection.
OBOT is a less intensive treatment option, suiting people who don’t need structured counseling as part of care. You pick up your buprenorphine prescription at a local pharmacy. This means some costs may be covered by your pharmacy insurance benefits, where applicable.
If you’re currently prescribed methadone and are considering switching to buprenorphine, your provider can help determine whether it could be the better option for you. OBOT can also be a step-down if you’re moving on from a higher level of care.

Opioid Treatment Close to Home in Far Western North Carolina
Distance is the biggest barrier to treatment here. For many people in Cherokee, Clay, and Graham Counties, the alternative means crossing a state line or losing most of a morning.
That’s why dosing opens early in the morning, with Saturday hours too, so you can be treated and still make a shift. If getting here regularly is the problem, tell us when you call. There are usually more options than people expect, including take-home doses once you’re stable.
What to Expect at Your First Visit in Murphy
Plan for around two to three hours. Your first visit includes:
- A welcome without judgment, wherever you are on your journey.
- A full evaluation of your medical history and current health, to build a plan that fits your needs.
- An introduction to the program: medication, counseling, and other support available here.
- Your first dose, if appropriate based on your assessment.
Bring a valid photo ID and insurance card to speed things up. Traveling from Andrews, Hayesville, or further out? Call ahead and we’ll suggest the best time to arrive.
You’ll come in daily at first. Your counselor meets with you regularly, and your dose is reviewed as you settle in, all decided together with you.
Insurance and Payment Options
Cost shouldn’t be why you put off calling. Veterans may qualify through the VA Community Care Network with prior authorization. Not sure what your plan covers? Call and we’ll check it with you.
