About Clay Wilson and Associates DBA The Cognitive Connection

The Cognitive Connection has provided integrated substance abuse care from its Hickory, North Carolina, office since 1995. Their practice started out as Clay, Wilson & Associates to offer dual diagnosis outpatient treatment options for people of all ages, including medication assisted treatment (MAT) and referrals to detox.

Their MAT program utilizes Suboxone for some addictions, such as heroin or meth. The great thing about this approach is that, if successful, it can have a detox life effect—reducing or eliminating cravings—potentially preventing hospitalization.

This location accepts many insurance plans and can offer a sliding fee scale to the uninsured.

Primary Care Support

One thing I appreciate about this facility is its inclusion of a primary care department. Here, they expand your substance abuse care to include several physical and mental health concerns, related or not. In many cases, your primary care physician can connect you with other specialists as needed, too.

You can take advantage of this service to improve your overall well being during treatment. You may also find it easier to stay on top of your health when you have multiple providers under one roof.

Retrain Your Brain

This center’s approach to drug treatment is rooted in cognitive behavioral intervention. This modality actually retrains how you think to influence better decision making and behavioral change. Core aspects of CBI training include viewing problems from multiple perspectives to develop a more realistic view of them and recognizing and reframing negative thinking patterns that lead to dangerous behaviors.

Getting You Where You Need to Be

Should you find that your personalized treatment here isn’t enough, or if you need services not offered here, the staff can still assist you with referrals. Referrals can connect you with other treatment centers for higher levels of care (such as residential treatment) as well as supportive social services.
