Neurology and Pain Management

For people navigating recovery who also live with chronic pain, neurological conditions, or trauma, finding a provider that treats both sides of that equation is rarely straightforward. Neurology and Pain Management in Lillington fills that gap as an outpatient clinic that directly addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside a comprehensive range of neurological and pain conditions. Rather than routing patients to separate providers for separate problems, the clinic creates a single outpatient setting where those intersecting needs can be treated together.

The clinic's outpatient program runs Monday through Thursday with full-day hours and Friday mornings, giving patients consistent weekly access to care without requiring residential placement. This schedule supports people who are already embedded in their communities and recovery networks, allowing treatment to complement — rather than interrupt — the sober living routines and support systems they have built.

Chronic pain is one of the most cited drivers of relapse, and untreated pain creates real obstacles for anyone trying to sustain long-term recovery. Neurology and Pain Management offers a range of interventional approaches — including nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation trials, radiofrequency ablation, epidural steroid injections, and trigger point injections — that can help reduce dependence on long-term opioid therapy while addressing the underlying source of pain. For patients already in chronic opioid management, the clinic provides oversight within its outpatient program.

Suboxone is also available at this clinic, offering an outpatient medication-assisted option for individuals who are managing opioid use disorder as part of a broader recovery plan. Combined with the clinic's treatment of trauma and PTSD — conditions that frequently co-occur with substance use — this outpatient program is structured to meet patients at a clinically complex intersection rather than treating addiction or pain as isolated concerns.

Neurology and Pain Management serves a wide range of populations that often face additional barriers to accessing consistent outpatient care. Veterans can use TRICARE alongside other accepted payment methods including Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. The clinic also serves court-ordered individuals, pregnant women, young adults between 18 and 25, seniors, and patients receiving HIV/AIDS support — populations whose recovery needs frequently extend beyond behavioral health alone.

For family members supporting a loved one in recovery, the clinic's breadth of accepted insurance types — including Medicaid and state insurance — means that cost is less likely to be a barrier to beginning or continuing treatment. The outpatient structure also makes it easier for patients to remain connected to family, community, and whatever aftercare or alumni networks they are already part of, reinforcing the long-term recovery support that matters most beyond the walls of any single clinic.

Sleep disorders are disproportionately common among people in recovery, yet they are rarely addressed within traditional addiction treatment settings. Neurology and Pain Management treats sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, nocturnal bruxism, and advanced sleep phase syndrome as part of its outpatient program — conditions that, left unmanaged, can seriously undermine recovery stability. Treating these conditions within the same outpatient setting where co-occurring disorders and trauma are also addressed reduces the coordination burden on patients who might otherwise fall through the gaps between providers.

Trauma and PTSD treatment is also confirmed within the clinic's scope of care, recognizing that unresolved trauma is a significant factor in both the development and persistence of substance use disorders. For people working toward sustained recovery, having access to an outpatient clinic that treats trauma, pain, sleep disruption, and dual diagnosis in one place represents a meaningful clinical advantage over more narrowly focused programs.
