Primary Focus
- Addiction Recovery Treatment
We believe people seeking help for mental illness or substance use disorders should feel empowered and supported – not ashamed or embarrassed.
With a specific focus on integrating behavioral health into primary care, Carolinas HealthCare System’s behavioral health team is creating a forward-thinking approach to providing care to people dealing with mental health issues.
We choose to focus our efforts on:
Substance use disorders include the abuse (overuse or dependence) of alcohol or other drugs that lead to work, school, home or health problems.
The behavioral health team at Carolinas HealthCare System partners with our patients for every step on the road to recovery from substance use disorders. We help patients achieve recovery by providing understanding of the disorder and providing tools to manage symptoms. Our treatment programs emphasize education, the 12-step recovery philosophy and the importance of a support network during and after treatment.
Carolinas HealthCare System has many treatment options and programs for those dealing with drug addiction or alcoholism. Our inpatient treatment programs are for patients with more serious Substance Use problems who require intensive care 24 hours a day. We take voluntary and involuntary admissions.
