Too often, people who need alcohol or drug rehab don’t receive the appropriate care because it would mean taking extended time away from their work or family.

With the flexibility of Charlotte Behavioral Health Care’s outpatient substance use disorder treatment program, adults, adolescents and children can work through addiction treatment without putting life on hold. Programs are ideal for people with a strong support system, a stable living situation, and the internal motivate to change.

Individuals are treated with respect and concern and are encouraged to view substance use issues not as evidence of personal failure and unworthiness but as a highly treatable condition for which there can be successful resolution. Our treatment services are effective in reducing drug use and helping people like you live more productive, rewarding lives.

At Charlotte Behavioral, each patient receives an individualized outpatient treatment plan designed to address issues specific to them.

Our substance use outpatient program maintains a high rate of success, with 96% of individuals completing the program.

The Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Program operates on the belief that most substance abuse problems are best understood as part of a process. This process affects each individual to a varying degree in all aspects of life including physical, emotional, social, psychological, and spiritual.

Treatment is designed to address problems in each area. Individuals are treated with dignity and respect and are encouraged to view substance use issues not as evidence of personal failure and unworthiness, but as a highly treatable condition for which there can be a successful resolution.

Treatment includes individual counseling, group counseling, and consultation with a board-certified addictions professional. Our program goals are to:

• help the rebuilding of relationships with family and friends
• assist individuals in developing support systems to help maintain sobriety
• assist individuals in developing skills to reduce relapse behavior

The Outpatient Substance Use Program provides both individual and group therapy services depending on the needs of the consumer. Some of our groups include DUI Referrals, Coexisting Mental Illness (dual diagnosis), Dept. of Corrections Referrals and Women with Substance Use Issues. Consumers are encouraged to seek community support with groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Cocaine Anonymous.

Seeking Safety is the most popular evidence-based program designed to help people attain safety from all types of trauma and/or addiction. Rather than having you delve into the past to relive painful and traumatic experiences, this program is a present-focused program that focuses on what you can do right now to create a better life for yourself. A focal point is teaching you how to become safer in relationships, thinking, and actions. It is relative to all types of trauma and is extremely safe. Treatment focuses on your personal strengths and helps you to increase those strengths. For more information on Seeking Safety, please click here.

Anger Management is a 16-week program that seeks to help individuals understand where behavior comes from and develop insight on the triggering events and cues to implement cognitive restructuring techniques. This evidence-based curriculum is offered through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and meets the requirements of a court order and/or DCF case plan. However, a court order is not necessary to participate in these services.  For more information on Anger Management, please click here.

Increasing Wellness through Reducing Risk Aftercare Group. The road to recovery has bumps (relapse). Many times, individuals leave their detox/recovery program, and, after a period of abstinence, do not realize the risks that follow. Relapse after a period of sobriety can be very dangerous. Whether you currently use drugs, are in recovery, or have a loved one struggling with substance use disorder, you will learn valuable information to mitigate the risk of an overdose and stop an overdose while it is happening. Not sure about sobriety yet? We invite you to attend even if you are currently using. For more information, click here.
