You may need professional treatment if you have tried to quit and cannot, experience withdrawal symptoms, or continue using despite health, legal, or relationship consequences. If medical supervision is required for safe detox or co-occurring mental health conditions complicate recovery, a higher level of care may be necessary. Our admissions team can quickly determine whether Medical Detox, Residential Treatment, or outpatient care is the right next step.

We help clients protect their employment through FMLA coordination and short-term disability support, with guidance from our case management team. Detox and residential treatment typically last 3 to 4 weeks, and many clients use medical leave, vacation time, or step down into PHP or IOP to return to work while continuing care. Addressing addiction now often prevents far greater risks to your career, health, and financial stability.

Carolina Center for Recovery combines admission within 2 hours, a 16-bed detox unit with a 1:3.2 licensed staff-to-client ratio, high-dose methadone detox up to 100 mg, and 15-minute safety checks during the first 24 hours of admission — clinical protocols that exceed the 2-to-4-hour industry standard for nursing rounds. The detox unit operates with two licensed nurses per shift, hourly nursing rounds with COWS and CIWA withdrawal assessments, and on-site medical provider oversight. Every detox patient is housed in a private room with a personal vanity and lockable storage. On-site amenities include a full Olympic-style gym with free weights, cable machines, treadmills, and bikes; basketball, pickleball, and volleyball courts; a soccer field; daily yoga led by a certified yoga therapist; and Reiki therapy delivered by a certified Reiki instructor. Catered meals accommodate dietary, religious, and medical restrictions. Family programming includes a free weekly virtual family group on Wednesday nights and Saturday visitation. Alumni programming includes Friday open meetings, monthly virtual meetings, quarterly gatherings, and an annual community event — supporting clients well beyond discharge. Many of the medical doctors, psychiatric providers, and clinicians at Carolina Center for Recovery maintain private practices. Clients can continue with the same provider after discharge, eliminating the need to rebuild clinical rapport in aftercare. Carolina Center for Recovery is family-owned and accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), LegitScript certified. The majority of the clinical and behavioral health team are themselves in recovery.

Yes. Families can join our free weekly virtual family program every Wednesday night, available to loved ones of clients in any level of care. We also offer individual family sessions and Saturday visitation, with guidance on communication, boundaries, and long-term recovery support. Family involvement strengthens healing and significantly improves long-term outcomes.

Costs vary based on insurance coverage, but as an in-network provider, most clients pay only their copay, coinsurance, or deductible. Our admissions team verifies benefits in under 30 minutes and provides clear cost details before admission. For those without insurance, flexible payment options and financing are available to make treatment accessible.

We specialize in Dual Diagnosis Treatment, addressing addiction and co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD at the same time. Clients receive psychiatric evaluation within 24 hours, medication management, and evidence-based therapies including CBT, and DBT. Treating both conditions together reduces relapse risk and supports long-term recovery.

Ambivalence is normal, and you do not have to feel 100 percent certain to begin treatment. Our team uses Motivational Interviewing to explore your goals, clarify concerns, and help you understand the impact of substance use without judgment or pressure. Treatment can begin wherever you are in the change process, with support designed to build readiness and confidence over time.
