Freedom House Recovery Center - Facility Based Crisis and Detox Center

They provide inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Chapel Hill is set up for.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 4 places near Chapel Hill that do it.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Chapel Hill often still has to be in person.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Chapel Hill has 8 other centers to try.

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

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. The first weeks back carry the highest risk, so what is booked for them matters more than the program length. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.

It varies from same day to a month, and the only way to know is to ask on the day you are ready. Many programs offer an interim option while you wait, usually outpatient sessions or a daily check in. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
