The Process

Simpler than you think

  1. 1

    Call the Charlotte admissions line

    Dial (888) 464-2144 or send your insurance details. The admissions team answers 24/7. The call is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.

  2. 2

    Clinical assessment with a NC-licensed clinician

    A North Carolina-licensed clinician runs a brief assessment of your substance use history, mental health, current situation, and any urgent medical needs. About 30 to 45 minutes by phone, or in-person at the Charlotte clinic.

  3. 3

    NC insurance verification

    The admissions team contacts your carrier directly and confirms what is covered for outpatient treatment at the Charlotte clinic, deductible, copay, and any prior authorization BCBS NC, Aetna, Cigna, United, or Tricare require. Full cost breakdown before any commitment.

  4. 4

    Clinical recommendation

    Based on the assessment and benefits, the team recommends the appropriate level of care delivered at the Charlotte clinic: PHP, IOP, Outpatient, or a Detox Concierge handoff to a NC partner facility before stepping back into our outpatient continuum.

  5. 5

    Start treatment in Charlotte

    Most clients begin within the same week, many the next day. The clinical team meets each new client on day one inside the Charlotte clinic with a full plan ready to go.

What To Expect

On your first call

Calling about treatment, for yourself or for someone you love - is usually the hardest part. Here’s what that first conversation actually looks like for Charlotte admissions.

A real person answers, from Charlotte

Not a queue, not a call-center script. The admissions line for the Charlotte clinic is staffed by clinical intake coordinators around the clock, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Confidential, no pressure

What you share on the call stays between you and the admissions team. Nothing is sent to your employer, your family, or anyone else without your written consent. There is no pressure to commit on the first call.

Clinical, not sales

The first conversation is a clinical assessment, not a sales pitch. The intake team decides with you whether outpatient treatment in Charlotte is the right next step, and if not, helps you find what is.

Insurance handled the same call

We verify your NC insurance benefits during the call when possible. You leave the first conversation knowing your in-network status, your deductible and copay, and any prior-authorization requirements your plan has.

Frequently Asked

Common questions about Charlotte admissions

How long does the first call take?
About 20 to 30 minutes for the clinical assessment, plus another 10 minutes for benefits verification if we run it on the same call. Most Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston, and Union County callers leave that first conversation with a clear next step and a scheduled intake.
I'm calling about a family member, can I do that?
Yes. Many of our admissions calls come from family members across the Charlotte metro. The team will talk through the situation with you, explain how the Charlotte clinic runs, and help you figure out the right next move, including how to approach the conversation with your loved one. Treatment ultimately requires the client's consent, but the call can start with the family.
Do I have to be sober to start in Charlotte?
No. Many clients walk in the door at the Charlotte clinic still using. The medical team handles initial stabilization, decides whether a medical detox is needed first, and routes accordingly. Honesty on intake matters more than sobriety.
What does treatment cost in Charlotte?
Cost depends on your plan, your level of care, and length of stay. The Charlotte clinic works with most major NC commercial carriers (BCBS NC, Aetna, Cigna, Tricare), which keeps out-of-pocket cost manageable for most clients. We tell you the actual number before you start, not after.
Can I tour the Charlotte clinic before deciding?
Yes. In-person tours of the Charlotte clinic are scheduled Monday through Friday during business hours. Call the admissions line and we'll set one up, usually within a day or two.
What happens if outpatient is not enough?
If the clinical picture calls for a higher level of care than outpatient, for example, if medical detox or inpatient stabilization is indicated, the admissions team coordinates placement at an accredited NC partner facility and schedules your step-down into our PHP or IOP after.
