Atrium Health Addiction Services

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Charlotte has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Charlotte, a few streets away.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Charlotte.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Charlotte.

Charlotte has 271 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Accreditation, staffing, medication policy and aftercare are the four that tell you most. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.

Both at once is the common case, and treating only one of them is why some first attempts come apart. Not every center has a prescriber for psychiatric medication, and that is a concrete difference to ask about. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.
