Integrated Care of Greater Hickory

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

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Gastonia offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Gastonia is worth confirming before you drive over.

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

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Gastonia, under a mile away.

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

What you pay depends more on insurance than on which center you choose. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. Ask what the daily rate becomes if coverage stops before the program does.

Coverage is common, and partial coverage is more common than the full amount. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.
