About The UNC Family Medicine Center at Chapel Hill
The UNC Family Medicine Center at Chapel Hill in North Carolina is not a dedicated addiction treatment center, but they do offer services at this location and within the broader UNC health system for substance use treatment, including assistance through withdrawal and detox. Chapel Hill is home to the University of North Carolina, the Auckland Art Museum and the North Carolina Botanical Garden. Each offers unique experiences and opportunities during your treatment process.
Primary Care & Behavioral Medicine
Appointments at the UNC Family Center are Monday through Friday, which may be covered by your insurance plan. They provide primary care services for a variety of conditions for adults and children. Their providers include family practitioners, social workers and a behavioral medicine specialist.
While the behavioral medicine specialist can address mental health conditions and concerns surrounding substance use disorders, this location doesn’t specifically address detox and withdrawal. However, they can provide referrals for medication assisted treatment (MAT) using FDA-cleared medications to reduce cravings alongside evidence-based therapies.
Higher Level of Psychiatric Support in STAR
When more psychiatric support is needed for treatment, the UNC Health System provides the substance treatment and recovery (STAR) program in Chapel Hill that includes individual and group therapy and help with psychopharmacological and medication management referrals. These referrals ensure that you receive the necessary medication to support sustainable recovery.
