Perinatal Addiction Clinic Opens in Eastern North Carolina

The ECU Health IMPACT Clinic –the first integrated perinatal addiction clinic in eastern North Carolina– will begin accepting patients on May 7, 2025. Led by Dr. David H. Ryan and located at the Brody Outpatient Center-Ob/Gyn in Greenville, the clinic will provide integrated perinatal and addiction care. This includes opioid and alcohol addiction treatment and access to additional resources including social work, lactation support, and mental health care. The clinic will serve patients experiencing substance use disorders and will provide evidence-based, stigma-free, patient-centered care that has been demonstrated to improve prenatal, peripartum, and postpartum experiences and outcomes for moms, babies, families, and communities.

Patient referrals can be directed to ECU ob/gyn services. For guidance about whether a referral is appropriate, contact NC MATTERS at (919) 681-2909.
