The NC STAR Network is a statewide initiative with an overarching goal of expanding access to addiction treatment for all citizens of North Carolina through utilization of a Hub and Spoke model. The Hubs are academic centers with a strong focus on providing addiction treatment and education. Currently, the NC STAR Network hubs are located at UNC, Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC), and East Carolina University (ECU). The Hubs are strategically located in the West (MAHEC), central (UNC) and East (ECU) portions of NC which allows each to provide service to a wide range of citizens.
The NC STAR Network creates a much-needed safety net system for treating opioid use disorder and other substance use disorders throughout NC, with a specific focus on the underserved populations. The hubs are able to offer specialty level addiction treatment for patients with higher acuity needs, while the spokes are able to greatly expand access to addiction treatment for patients in their home communities. The NC*STAR Network commits to keeping practitioners up to date on evidence-based practice and to supporting all practitioners who are offering or want to offer addiction treatment.
