Onslow County Community Paramedic Program has been serving Onslow County since 2015. We pride ourselves in serving the community in an always evolving higher capacity by connecting resources and educating the public, while working alongside as a support to Emergency Medical Services personnel. Our program has 8 full-time Community Paramedic positions that offer community coverage and 3 full-time Peer-Support Specialist positions.

The Onslow County Community Paramedic Program bridges the gap with substance use and mental health to include assistance into Detox and Rehabilitation centers, inpatient and outpatient treatment centers as well as Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). We can offer treatment plans to assist through withdrawal symptoms if requirements are met until further assistance is available. We can connect with longer term recovery options.

We address high utilizers of EMS/911 as well as the Emergency Room. We can assist by establishing Primary Care providers or by connecting them with resources to better suit their immediate and long-term needs. As well as educating in proper uses of 911. Helping to meet immediate needs such as food and shelter, we can make valuable bed space in the ER available to true medical emergencies. Also, by assessing these situations we can connect to necessary services, detox and rehabilitation centers as well as mental health care.

We assess for needs in both mental and physical health as well as daily necessities for empowering the community to take charge of their own well-being.

On a daily basis, our Community Paramedics follow-up with patients and respond to 911 calls for mental health and substance use. In 2022, our program made 2,734 follow-up visits to patients for service referral and connection to resources for patients. Of the 670 substance use emergency calls, 344 were opiate related and many were given Narcan. In the same year, 36 individuals were inducted into Medication Assisted Treatment. Community Paramedics have also provided 43 Narcan administration trainings to 974 individuals including law enforcement agencies, first responders and professionals within Onslow County as well as Bystander Awareness Training to citizens.

Let us be the guide to assist you in filling your needs. We can help empower you and your family through education and resources to take charge of your own mental and physical health.

Getting Started

Patients complete a history and physical, psychosocial evaluations and compete intake process and then meet with our Medical Director to determine how much and what kind of medication they need. There are no transfer or intake fees, cost for services are $12.00 daily, $80 week and $310 monthly, family discounts are available also. This includes all medication, nursing, medical and counseling care each month. Our patient to counselor ratio assures you are getting the attention and care you need, we are open Monday-Saturday, we are closed Sunday so patients get take-home medication for Sunday (there may be a very few high-risk situations where we dose by appointment only on Sundays). We are committed to the success of our patients, taking every opportunity to support and provide empathetic care to those of us who suffer from the disease of addiction, helping individuals, families and the community recover.

In addition to substance use disorder counseling, we also provide mental health counseling for patients. Beginning January 2022, we will be offering a unique non-pharmacological pain management program for out patients.

Many patients need other medications for other mental health or medical issues, including anti-depressants, benzodiazepines, other mental health medications and even other pain management medications. As long as we have coordinated care with other providers, these issues present no barrier to a fully implemented methadone regiment for opioid use disorder.

We are credentialed for Medicaid, Medicare, TriCare and private insurance. We offer a discounted cash rate for methadone of $12/day or $80/week. For buprenorphine, our cash discount rate is $14/day or $90/week.

What We Do Best

We provide our services to your sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, moms and dads and husbands and wives with opioid use disorder. Methadone, when properly administered, is designed to provide you, the patient, with 24 hours or more of complete relief from signs and symptoms of withdrawal, no impairment or sedation and a blockade affect for other opiates. Adequate dosing is determined mainly by patients' subjective symptoms and observable signs, there are no definitive test to determine the correct dose. The correct dose is the one that works for you, the patient.

If you are in treatment: Does your dose hold you for 24 or more hours? The number one indicator your provider may not be providing you with an adequate dose of methadone is you continue to use other narcotics or experience withdrawal symptoms prior to your daily dose. Are you getting your takeout doses on a regular basis? If your dose of medication stabilizes you then you will most likely, with the assistance of your counselor rapidly obtain take out privileges. Staying off narcotics and other illicit drugs indicate you are doing your part, take home privileges are evidence the treatment center is doing its part. We have the capacity and skills to also address co-occurring mental health issues such as PTSD and depression, relapse prevention and couples and family issues as well. In addition to our professional credentials, many of our staff are in long-term recovery from substance use disorder or have family or loved ones with the disease of addiction.

Linc, Inc. Believes in

LINC, Inc. Boarding School Plans Move Forward

LINC Inc. is moving forward with plans to renovate the decommissioned Princess Place fire station to the Hisan J. Polk Transformation Academy, a culturally and demographically-specific boarding school for at-risk African American youth in New Hanover County. A 14-month residential academic program in partnership with Cape Fear Community College will empower participants to earn a GED, gain skills in the trades, achieve trade certificates, and set a path for a future of success, pride, and hope. Learn more.

Our Mission

LINC, Inc.'s mission is to educate and motivate youth to make positive life choices and to empower men and women returning from incarceration to be productive members of our community.

Who We Are

Leading Into New Communities, Inc. (LINC, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Wilmington North Carolina that provides transitional living and case management services to meet the immediate needs of men and women returning from prison. We also offer culturally-specific youth development services for African American young men ages 12-24.

What We Believe

Positive, supportive re-entry is in the best interest of the community with respect to public safety, a more fully employed population, a decrease in substance abuse activities, and decrease in crime rates. Sustainable resources and intensive support assist justice-involved individuals and significantly reduces recidivism.

We Believed, so We Built It

With proper support, guidance, and social networking, individuals returning from incarceration can contribute great value to the community.

Our efforts to provide supportive services and programs are centered around the Residential Re-Entry Program at the M. E. Roberts Transitional Campus. LINC, Inc. provides transitional housing, job training, educational opportunities, substance abuse treatment, and health and medical services.

A Success Story for JULY 2023

Michael has been enrolled in the PH2 program since February 2023. Since his release in March, he has worked diligently on rebuilding the life he had prior to addiction. He was able to secure housing at a local recovery house and has been an exemplary housemate since. He has attended every house meeting, completed 90 in 90, voluntarily participated in IOP, and is working with a sponsor on his 12 steps now. Michael has also obtained employment at a local restaurant, allowing him to pay his own bills and begin rebuilding his savings. In the 3 months since release, he has already saved enough to buy his own vehicle, which he purchased about two weeks ago. Starting this fall, Michael will also be enrolled in CFCC's Small Engine Mechanic program. His hope is to take this skill and build a career working as a mechanic.
