About The UNC Family Medicine Center at Chapel Hill
The mission of the UNC Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health is to promote the recovery of persons with mental illness in North Carolina through evidence-based and cost-effective prevention, treatment, training, research and community education.
We understand that every patient comes with a unique history and personal situation. Our therapists are prepared to address the individual needs of patients by matching specific treatment settings and services accordingly. During the recovery phase of treatment, you will learn about your condition and begin the psychological and spiritual healing process. Throughout your stay, our staff will work with you to help you to establish healthy lifestyle habits, understand withdrawal symptoms, teach effective coping tools and prepare you for discharge and follow-up treatment.
