RHA Health Services

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Lenoir has 7 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Lenoir that do it.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Lenoir has 7 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Lenoir send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

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

Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

Most of the time, partly, and the share depends on the plan rather than on the center you pick. Approval can arrive in stages, with the detox cleared while the level of care after it is still under review. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
