Zero. They re basically a scam. Once you pay for an assessment and complete the assessment they come up with the most hours for you to compete which is up to $600 so unaffordable and unnecessary for a first dui offense when 9 times out of 10 other places will want you to complete ADETS which is only around $150 - $200. Literally a fraction of their costs. Total rip off & total scam. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Go somewhere else.In response to their response.......I literally went to another place to have an assessment done because I knew i was being over charged and was able to complete a ADETS. Again, an excuse for unreasonable pricing because my BAC was less than a .15 and it was a first time offense.There are other places in Charlotte as well as the North Carolina region with more affordable pricing. As well assessments that do not require you to disclose your finances to determine what you can afford bc if you do advise you are stable with work as well as parents they use that as a leverage to again over charge you and advise of class hours more that $600.
Response from the owner8 months ago
Mariah, the requirements for the ADETS class is based in part on the breathalyzer result among other factors. If an individual has a blood alcohol concentration of .15 or higher, according to North Carolina statute, they do not meet the criteria for ADETS recommendation and cannot be placed in the ADETS class. I encourage you to look over the North Carolina statutes we mentioned, and if you have any more questions or need further help understanding the guidelines, please reach out to the State Office of DWI Services.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities. This program provides half-day treatment (Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9:15 am to 12:30 pm).

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Clients who receive cognitive behavioral therapy in North Carolina typically attend five to 20 sessions. During this time, they work with their therapist to learn healthier patterns of thinking, which can help them change their behavior related to substance use.

Men and women enjoy a supportive environment within group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. You can share your experiences and build connections with your peers while receiving encouragement from individuals who have faced similar challenges.

You usually develop a strong bond with your therapist during individual therapy sessions. This helps you explore the underlying causes of your substance use in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Therapists help you develop effective coping strategies you can use in the community and improve your self awareness so you understand your addiction triggers.

If you're struggling with insecurity about your ability to make changes in your life, motivational interviewing in North Carolina could be a good solution. This type of therapy offers support and empowerment to help you explore your options and decide how to move forward with positive changes.

Family therapy sessions address the emotional toll that addiction has had on the family unit and individual members. Therapists work with families to develop better coping strategies, which in turn create a stable environment for their loved one's recovery process.

Absolute Advocacy is more than a 5 star review , This place is great and the staff is even better… Taking their assessment classes are fairly easy especially the part where you have to take notes because the host tells you exactly what to write or type in your notes and you can’t make it any easier than that… All you have to do is show up , Speak when spoken too , Take your notes and pass your drug test… It’s literally that easy The main thing is you will learn a lot about yourself and that you’re not the only person on this earth with problems , And when you learn that then you can learn what you can do to make yourself a better person… I hope all of you enjoyed Absolute Advocacy as much as I did , Thank you again for your help and hopefully myself and the host of Absolute Advocacy will cross paths again… Thank you and God bless

Absolute Advocacy is fantastic! I went into this thinking I was just going to be listening to a bunch of dry lectures. It was the total opposite of that. They make the classes enjoyable, therapeutic, and educational! The staff are very professional, skilled at what they do, and compassionate. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Absolute Advocacy was outstanding. Not only were they able to assist in reinstatement, they made it a pleasure able experience. The instructors articulated each course with sincerity and knowledge. I learned a lot about myself and others I surround myself with and why. They make you feel comfortable regardless of your individual situation, do not Judge, and treat you with upmost respect. The instructors and office staff are both knowledgeable and quick to act on anything needed. They pick up the phone to assist, provide correct answers to your situation, and execute quickly on your behalf. I feel confident they required the lowest costs and best flexibility for completion with great leadership. I highly recommend their services to all those in need. Thank You Absolute Advocacy Team!!
