Fellowship Hall Inc

They offer inpatient hospital, outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Greensboro has 8 other centers to compare.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 3 named here.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Greensboro, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Greensboro.

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. Distance from home cuts both ways: far enough to break a pattern, near enough for family to take part. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. Write down what you are using and how much before you dial, because it is harder to recall out loud.

Inpatient takes you out of your life for a while. Outpatient treats you inside it. A stable home and someone in it who is on your side makes outpatient care far more workable. Ask whether a center can carry out an assessment first rather than selling you a program.
