Residential Treatment Services of - Alamance Inc

They provide inpatient residential and detox. The nearest alternative is in Graham, 2.9 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines and cocaine, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Burlington.

Burlington has 11 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Burlington has 4 other centers to ask.

They prescribe buprenorphine, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 4 centers near Burlington, not all of them do.

Inpatient is the higher level of care, and higher is not automatically better for everyone. Medical risk pushes toward inpatient care: withdrawal that needs supervision is not an outpatient problem. Ask which level they would put a family member in, and why that one.

Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Ask whether the wait differs for someone paying privately, because the answer is often yes.

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
