About Four Directions Counseling and Recovery Center
Four Directions Counseling and Recovery Center is located in Lexington, North Carolina. This is an outpatient facility that supports individuals who are struggling with their mental health or are experiencing a substance use disorder.
Through dedicated counseling, you’ll be able to explore and understand the different challenges in your life that have been impacting your mental health. You’ll learn strategies to help you overcome these challenges and lead a healthier, happier life.
There’s also a thoughtfully designed substance use treatment program here. This treatment program includes both short and long term outpatient treatments. However, if you need more robust care but don’t want to start recovery in a residential setting, their intensive outpatient program (IOP) can support you.
Specialized Programming
If you’re facing legal challenges because of drug or alcohol use, there are DUI programs available at the Four Directions Counseling and Recovery Center. There are also anger management classes and specialized programming if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence.
This organization has been intentional about connecting clients with the appropriate recovery services. While they don’t offer detox or residential treatment here, you can get connected to a partner agency that does. They have a couple of partnerships within the community, and you can get referred to these agencies to receive a full range of support services that will better help you in recovery, especially if you’re still in the early stages of recovery.
Addiction Counseling
Their addiction counselors will work with you to get to the root cause of your behavioral health challenges. They can also help you address a wide range of other life struggles that have been impacting your overall health. Whether you’re experiencing challenges within your family or other relationships or have been the victim of trauma, grief or loss in your life, your counselors will work alongside you to manage these stressful emotions.
Latest Reviews
Per your review, the information you provided through an interview process and standardized test provided to all clients, the level of treatment recommended was a 90 hour, or Intensive Outpatient program, which our facility does not provide. If you were recommended to complete a 90-hour program, you also would have been provided with a referral to another facility to provide this service since we only provide shorter or longer-term outpatient programs up to 40 hours. Again, I regret your dissatisfaction with the recommended level of treatment and am willing to speak with you personally about any related questions you may have. Please know that if personal gain was the basis for your recommendation, you would not have been recommended to complete a program not provided by our facility. Rather, as has always been my personal commitment to the substance use field, recommendations are to provide clients with the greatest opportunity for success regardless of where treatment is completed. I appreciate your review and wish you much
success.
Sincerely,

Rehab Score
Our Methodology
Other Forms of Payment
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 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 Programs (IOP) 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.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Treatments
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
