hello my name is Peyton Benn i recently was curious to see the reviews of RED OAK FOOTHILLS and saw 2 of my good friends post a review dont send ur kid here this place smells like mildew and poop and musty kids and the bathrooms have mold in the showers and ball hair all over. However this is not my only complaint about RED OAK FOOTHILLS the majority of staff hired there either had zero history w addiction, were creepy, or never spoke aka kristin who by the way was beefing with clients and crying, no privacy aka Casey and brandy. The director of foothills Bridget does not care for any of the clients and kicked out some of my good friends for just trying to lighten the mood and never heard out anyone and gave us no rights. shoutout to ash danielle elvis and sierra and val and jennifer and kyra and frank and ellery they were the best staff. shoutout to my friends from there too love yall

Hi my name is Grant I was recently discharged about a week ago. Majority of my time spent at foothills was just bad I felt very mentally exhausted from staff there. I was cussed out by staff named Ava and Kelly they had no respect for my well being I will relapse because of you one of the staff told me. She also gave nicotine to clients there. Management was great in the aspect of therapy and support. It was the day to day that was very poor and unproductive. On weekends all time was spent in a basement.

The therapy aspect was great shoutout to cianna and so was the food and the animals but bridget the owner sucks she prioritized literal freetime at the end of the day over aa and na visits and some of the staff were so unreasonable and as far as actual recovery goes its not a good environment most of my friends from this place have relapsed and so many people quit while i was there so was really unstable and rather than stop taking in new kids and take a while to find solid staff they literally hired a guy who tackled one of my friends to the ground because he refused to get off a computer game also the shower and bathrooms were so disgusting its not even funny and there was no chance to get any sort of privacy or personal space besides the bathroom conner james and chef nick and chef jacob were probably my favorite workers there tho and ofc jennifer and val and ash were all wonderful

Location

Accepted Insurance

Foothills at Red Oak Recovery works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Blue Cross Blue Shield

Aetna

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Clients who are exiting detox or stepping down from intensive inpatient care typically transition directly into outpatient treatment. Outpatient programs are designed to allow clients to either re-enter or remain in their communities while receiving robust, personalized care. Many facilities offer evening, night, or weekend services to accommodate clients' home and work schedules. The most common outpatient treatment modalities include psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Aftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs offer a complete continuum of care for clients in the maintenance phase of recovery and are predicated on the idea that addiction disease is a chronic condition prone to relapse and warranting continuing care. Clients collaborate with their care team and case manager to access the specific rehab aftercare services they need to promote their sustained sobriety. Peer coaching, relapse prevention services, career counseling, and 12 step program induction are common in these programs.

12-Step

12 step programs are based on a model of life-long recovery and are rooted in peer support and spiritual development. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings is the cornerstone of treatment, as is the selection of a peer sponsor to guide participants through the steps of recovery. These steps are based on non-denominational spiritual principles and are designed to foster self-awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability. Specialized programs are widely available, including programs for teens, seniors, and families.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Often used as a "step-down" option after you've completed a residential or inpatient program, the partial hospitalization program (PHP) typically involves a minimum of 20 hours of treatment per week for approximately 90 days. Programs offer structured programming that includes relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. Insurance coverage for PHP treatment varies among insurance providers.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

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

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.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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.

Counseling that applies dialectical behavior therapy teaches you coping skills to apply to your daily life. The focus is on intense emotions and developing coping mechanisms to manage them. Therapy sessions are a series of teaching lessons that help you develop these coping skills.

Equine Therapy

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.

Trauma therapy helps you reclaim your life after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Therapists help to process these memories, which promotes emotional healing and reduces anxiety in social situations. This improves your overall well being and increases your self confidence.

During couples therapy in North Carolina, a psychologist helps you and your partner resolve problems that are occurring in your relationship. This licensed therapist uses talk therapy to help you both work through challenges together. The process involves learning new skills to better handle conflict and life issues.

Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

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.

Routine tasks are difficult for someone experiencing addiction. Daily skills deteriorate, which makes it harder to achieve recovery. That's why drug rehab programs in North Carolina reteach basic life skills. This gives you the tools you need to manage daily life without returning to substance use.

During nutrition therapy in North Carolina, you'll work with a nutritionist to develop a dietary plan. Medical professionals will provide input based on your health needs. You'll learn to create goals for nutrition and develop the skills you need to meet them.

Recreational therapy in North Carolina helps you during drug and alcohol addiction recovery by engaging you in activities that support your physical and mental health. Sports, arts, and outdoor adventures give you positive experiences that help replace substance use and help you develop healthy habits and a support network.

When you participate in experiential therapy in North Carolina, you'll harness creative expression to release negative emotions and experience positive ones. This happens through hands on interventions such as music, art, animal care, culinary arts, and drama.

If you've been smoking for a while, your body has become physically dependent on the addictive substance nicotine. To avoid unpleasant withdrawal as you quit smoking, you can use nicotine replacement therapy in North Carolina. This gives you controlled amounts of nicotine in the form of lozenges, inhalers, sprays, patches, or gum.

Absolutely horrible program. I completed the program 2 years ago and my treatment was full refunded after, so that tells you a lot. When recent clients say Bridget doesn’t care they are not lying, as it was the same when I was there. Makes sense that she got demoted back to clinical director. If you ever want to send your kids here don’t do it. They give no care accept money. When I was there the RG’s and landscaping guys were awesome and great people but after the departure of them I saw how bad the foothills hiring process was. Bridget I always said this will not be the last of what foothills sees of me. Y'all are going down.

Parents BEWARE. This program is constantly understaffed and helplessly mismanaged from the top down. They are currently down to 2 therapists when there should be five. The boots on the ground employees are given no support so the turnover rate leads to constant instability. Look elsewhere.

Ezra James

Foothills helped me to mature and grow mentally much more then I would have had I been at home, I feel like the majority of the staff really do care and I think it’s a good place for recovery and a big shout out to Casey he helped me a lot and is very supportive and tries to connect with the kids there.

We appreciate your kind words! Thank you for your support. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything further.

Randi Balog

The one star reviews seem to be from people who were removed from the program due to choices they made ie…consequences were enforced. It is a homey, clean facility with a beautiful campus. A wonderful facility with caring and present staff. The support our entire family received was amazing.

Howdy there, my name is Watson Carter. I was sent here in July and was kicked out about 3 months later in September. I tried writing a review a few months ago but it was taken down multiple times. Good looks. Anyways, the 'facility' smells like excrement and sweat. The vast majority of the staff are incompetent. Some of them have zero professional or even personal history with any kind of addiction. The 'recovery' is below subpar. Essentially, you will spend the majority of your time in two rooms: The carriage house (where you have tri-daily AA-esque meetings of the same topics cycled over and over) and the "gym" (a repurposed garage with a set of weights.) I can confirm that most of the guys in my milieu had zero intentions of retaining their sobriety after discharge. Would it be too far too say that that is almost entirely the fault of the staff? I think not. Hope you have insurance, cuz' this baby is $600 a night! Awesome Sauce!

This place helped my son grow up and take responsibility for his actions. The staff was supportive of me as well, as I learned how to best support him in his recovery. I am so thankful.

Matthew Popielarczyk

As a local mental health clinician, I have referred multiple families to Foothills for adolescents in recovery. The staff here is welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. Recovery for an adolescent can look different than what it looks like for an adult and I feel like the dedicated staff understand the differences.
