Drug & Alcohol Detox in Greensboro, NC

Greensboro sits in Guilford County, which has experienced one of the more severe opioid crises in North Carolina. The county’s overdose death rate has historically exceeded the state average, and fentanyl contamination across the local drug supply has driven sustained public health investment.

Detox and substance use treatment facilities in Greensboro are licensed by the NC Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR) under the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), which sets standards for staffing, clinical protocols and facility safety across all levels of care. The local managed care organization for Guilford County residents is Trillium Health Resources, the LME-MCO responsible for coordinating behavioral health, substance use and intellectual disability services.

Since July 2024, people with severe substance use disorders who receive NC Medicaid are enrolled in Trillium’s Tailored Plan, which bundles physical health, pharmacy and behavioral health coverage into a single plan. Trillium also offers a crisis line (1-888-302-0738) that operates 24/7 and can help connect callers with detox referrals.

Guilford County has committed $12.1 million in opioid settlement funds between 2023 and 2025, funding programs including GCSTOP’s low-barrier Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) clinic, post-overdose response teams and naloxone vending machines placed throughout the county. The Guilford County Behavioral Health Center at 931 Third Street in Greensboro is open 24/7 for adults and adolescents in crisis.

If you are enrolled in Medicare, your copays and deductibles will depend on your specific plan and the setting of care.

Medicaid

Medicaid expansion, which took effect in North Carolina in December 2023, has substantially increased coverage access for low-income adults who were previously uninsured. NC Medicaid covers multiple levels of detox care, including ambulatory withdrawal management, medically monitored inpatient withdrawal management and social setting detox, following Clinical Coverage Policies updated in October 2024.

Guilford County residents with severe substance use disorders are enrolled in Trillium Health Resources’ Tailored Plan, which specifically covers SUD services, MAT medications and related counseling.

Other Ways to Pay for Detox Treatment

Cost should not stop anyone from seeking care. Several local options exist for people without insurance or with limited coverage:

Sliding Scale Payment

Federally Qualified Health Centers and community providers in the Guilford County area offer fee schedules based on income, making care accessible regardless of insurance status.

Nonprofit Residential Programs

Fellowship Hall, a nonprofit facility on 120 acres in Greensboro, has provided community-supported addiction treatment for more than 50 years. Malachi House II offers a no-cost, nine-month residential recovery program for men. Freedom House serves women and children with faith-based residential care at no cost.

County and Opioid Settlement Programs

Guilford County has directed millions in opioid settlement funds toward GCSTOP’s low-barrier MOUD clinic and the NC Survivors Union health hub, both of which provide services at no cost to participants.

Veterans Programs

Military veterans in the Greensboro area can access treatment through TRICARE, which is accepted at several local facilities, including Fellowship Hall, and through VA-connected community care programs when specialty SUD services are needed.

State-Funded Programs

Trillium Health Resources administers state-funded SUD services for uninsured and underinsured Guilford County residents who do not qualify for Medicaid, providing access to treatment regardless of ability to pay.

Detox Statistics in Greensboro, North Carolina

Guilford County’s overdose crisis has improved in recent years; however, the county’s rate remains above the state average, and fentanyl continues to dominate the local drug supply. The data below reflects the most current available figures from state and county health agencies.

38.7 deaths per 100,000 residents (2024)

FAQs About Detox in Greensboro, NC

How do I find a detox center in Greensboro that accepts my insurance?

Start by calling your insurance company’s member services line and asking for a list of in-network SUD treatment providers in the Guilford County area. You can also ask facilities directly if they are in-network with your plan before you schedule an intake. If you have NC Medicaid, contact Trillium Health Resources at 1-877-685-2415 to locate covered providers in Greensboro.

Is there free or low-cost detox in Greensboro for people without insurance?

Yes. Several options exist for uninsured residents. Trillium Health Resources provides state-funded SUD services for uninsured Guilford County residents who do not qualify for Medicaid. GCSTOP operates a free, low-barrier MOUD clinic. Nonprofit programs, including Malachi House II and Freedom House, provide no-cost residential care for eligible men and women, respectively. Calling 211 can help connect you with local social services, including treatment referrals.

Can I start MAT treatment in Greensboro without being fully sober first?

Yes. Low-barrier programs in Greensboro do not require prior abstinence to begin medication-assisted treatment. GCSTOP’s MOUD clinic and the NC Survivors Union Health Hub both operate on a low-barrier model, meaning you can begin buprenorphine without meeting strict preconditions. Telehealth buprenorphine prescribers can also initiate treatment remotely for qualifying patients.

What do I do if someone is overdosing in Greensboro?

Call 911 immediately. If naloxone is available, administer it while waiting for emergency services. Guilford County has naloxone available free at the Public Health pharmacy on Maple Street, through GCSTOP kits at local pharmacies and from vending machines placed at public locations across the county. North Carolina’s Good Samaritan law (N.C.G.S. 90-96.2) provides limited immunity from prosecution for the person calling 911 and the person who overdosed when the call is made in good faith.

Does NC Medicaid cover detox in Greensboro?

NC Medicaid covers multiple detox levels, including ambulatory withdrawal management (outpatient detox), medically monitored inpatient withdrawal management and social setting detox, under Clinical Coverage Policies updated in 2024. Guilford County residents with serious substance use disorders are enrolled in Trillium Health Resources’ Tailored Plan, which coordinates coverage. If you are not yet enrolled in Medicaid, you may qualify following North Carolina’s Medicaid expansion in December 2023, which extended eligibility to adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level.

How long does medical detox typically last in Greensboro?

Most medically supervised detox programs in Greensboro run between five and ten days, depending on the substance, the severity of dependence and the individual’s medical history. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal generally requires closer monitoring and may extend toward the longer end of that range. Detox is not a treatment for the underlying substance use disorder; it is the first step, and transitioning to an ongoing program after detox significantly improves long-term outcomes.
