My mother is in a nursing home facility, she had to go to this hospital for a situation that happened. When she was discharged, her discharged paper had false documentation with no explanation. Make sure when going to this hospital and discharge that, the word by mouth matches your discharge paper.

Accepted Insurance

UNC Health Johnston works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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 iconInpatient
Clients receiving treatment at an inpatient rehab facility are typically in early recovery or are at heightened risk of relapse. Clients in inpatient care remain at the facility for the duration of their program, enabling them to focus solely on their recovery. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive psychotherapy, often including group and family counseling as well as one-on-one sessions. Recovery-focused life skills education is another common service. Many rehabs also offer evidence-based holistic therapies.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Intervention services can provide customized interventions tailored to the needs of the individual and family. An intervention specialist can design and conduct a drug intervention in North Carolina that encourages the individual to enter treatment in a non-coercive manner. The specialist will meet with the family to plan the intervention, then provide expert insights to guide the process and appropriate follow-up care.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
Individuals in early recovery often require 24-hour clinical care in North Carolina. This supervised care typically includes medications to treat specific withdrawal symptoms, which vary based on the substance abused. For example, staff may provide sleep aids to treat insomnia in patients who are addicted to marijuana. For those overcoming a cocaine use disorder, anti-depressants may be prescribed to manage mood swings. Other medications may also be provided to treat addiction-related health issues.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
A medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive drugs and alcohol from your body. A team of licensed medical professionals will look after you 24/7 to monitor your health, help minimize discomfort, and provide medications if necessary to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms. This process is typically the first step in your recovery and may take around 5-7 days, although length will depend on your individual needs.

Treatments

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I want to give the UNC Health Johnston ER a 5 plus rating. We were camping in Selma this past weekend at North Point RV Campgrounds and my daughter-in-law fell on an E Bike breaking her wrist and we had to make and ER visit. We arrived at the UNC Health Johnston ER right at shift change Sunday night and you would have never known it. We checked in and waited about 5 minutes before being called back to be triage her and was sent straight back to a room and within a minute a nurse was in her room and a PA was in her room starting to access her. We spent 5 hours in the ER and it literally seemed like we were there no more than 10 minutes total. The time flew be and someone was working with my daughter-in-law the entire time we were their. The staff was amazing. I want to give a shout out to Nurse Amanda and PA Sherry. All of the staff in the ER from the time we arrived to the time we left were so compassionate, caring, and kind. This was the foremost best experience I have ever had with a hospital ER. I just want to say Thank You for giving you best, your heart for what you do and going above and beyond to help your patients like you do. May God Be With You all. A Blessed and Grateful Mother-In-Law.

I cannot speak on behalf of all of their staff throughout the whole hospital but I can speak on behalf of their emergency room staff that was working when I went in. They gave the best service I have ever had from them a hospital. I had fell and broke my wrist and it was really bad and they got me back so quick. They got pain meds and X-rays done so quick and inefficient. I cannot sing their praises anymore because they were absolutely amazing.

I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care I received during my recent two-day stay at your facility. From the moment I arrived, every member of your staff—from the nurses and doctors to the support team—was kind, attentive, and professional. Being in the hospital can be a vulnerable and stressful experience, but your compassion and dedication made me feel comfortable, safe, and truly cared for. It's clear that your team not only excels in medical expertise but also in empathy and patient support. Thank you for going above and beyond—I will always remember your kindness. With sincere appreciation, A grateful patient

I have never waited in an ER for so long in my life, definitely would not recommend to anyone who actually wants to be seen. I arrived at 1930 but still I was waiting in the lobby until 0100. The lab technician was super sweet though, which is unfortunate.

I ve been to this ER twice and it is by far the worst hospital, I have ever been to. The last time we went my son fell and had a gash on his head got 2 staples put in. Where do, I even begin to start to complain, the lady at the desk was rude and did nothing but talk on the phone and gossip the whole time I was trying to check my son in. We sat for over 4 hours in the ER waiting to be seen. Thankfully I had got my son s head to stop bleeding. I will say the doctor who did the staples was great, the nurse however who was holding my son down, she couldn t stand to watch the staples being put in.
