They also provide prevention and early intervention services for residents of Greensboro, North Carolina. The clinic is near Fisher Park and about north of the Greensboro History Museum.

They offer priority access to pregnant women using IV drugs, substance-dependent pregnant women and IV drug users. They’re also highly accessible, with coverage accepted through Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans and VA benefits. State funding often helps cover treatment costs.
MAT with Buprenorphine & Methadone
MAT uses FDA-approved meds alongside counseling to reduce relapse risk and support long-term abstinence. ADS was the first agency in the Piedmont Triad to offer MAT for opioid-dependent adults way back in 1978. MAT at ADS involves a prescription of either methadone or buprenorphine following a comprehensive intake assessment to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
You’ll attend outpatient therapy to address the underlying psychological and emotional factors contributing to your opioid dependence. Counseling helps you build a robust coping strategy that encourages sobriety and prevents relapse risk.
Clients who need more structure or have difficulty meeting basic outpatient recovery goals may transition to intensive outpatient (IOP) care. This level provides focused therapeutic support using the Matrix Model to help clients build lasting success. MAT also integrates psychiatric care plus medication management to address co-occurring mental conditions like depression that may present barriers to recovery.
Random urinalysis helps track your progress. They’ll link you to community services to address housing, employment and transportation needs. You’re also encouraged to seek additional community support to reinforce your commitment to a substance-free life.

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.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
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.
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.

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
There are many types of drug rehab in North Carolina. To receive treatment for addiction, you can choose from many inpatient and outpatient programs. Often, participants start with detox and work through a full continuum of care that continues with ongoing support for long-term recovery.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
