Medical briefcase icon 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.

inpatient iconInpatient Rehab

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.

aftercare iconAftercare

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 icon12-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.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

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 iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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. Duke University Hospital Outpatient Department personalize the treatment according to each patient needs but it usually includes weekly 45-minute therapies.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

life-skills iconLife Skills

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.

RE: Provider Marisa Smith: I'd have happily given her 10 stars; unil now. I had considered her a caring provider. One of the rare ones that allow their clients to participate in their own care, listens not hears, asks valuable & thought-provoking questions. At my last appointment, I got very upset; our opinion regarding the next step in my tx were in contrast. I abruptly ended the session in frustration. Next? I get a call from administrative staff that I am being handed off to another clinician...then lied about the reasoning until I called her on it. Relationships of all kinds can be ended by either party. Those words should have come from her. Extremely unprofessional. I've never experienced such passiveness from anyone in my 40 years of doing this dance. It's like your spouse's best friend letting you know youre being divorced. All respect & trust vanished.

In the past, this clinic was wonderful. Around 2016/2017 I received care from very compassionate professionals who seemed to love their work. However, this is not the case anymore. The clinic is shifting from long term care to short term care. This decision is coming from people up top who have no involvement in your care. If you will need therapy longer than a few months, just go somewhere else. Employee moral could not be any lower.

Ok, for one, it seems many of the people here that write reviews don't have any idea how psychiatrist do their jobs. And furthermore, you don't give a negative review because you couldn't figure out there is a parking garage next to the building.I am seeing Arkady Millard, who has been great at listening to me and understanding my scenario. She has been tremendously helpful, and has given me confidence in the Duke system. Yes, sometimes you have to try different things, for those of you out there that think you get a magic wand and a solution the first time. Mrs./Miss Millard is really a gem and an asset to the Duke Psychiatry system. I cannot thank her and the Duke system enough for existing and having staff that can empathize with what some people may be experiencing. Yes, medical systems can be "cookie cutter"; you can't have a perfectly individualized plan all of the time and medicine works this way everywhere in the U.S. Duke just does it with passion and empathy and this brings me to a level of comfort I seldom feel at other places. Thank you!!! Especially Arkady!

Pro is great charity care program to keep cost down. Cons I found were that in both individualized and group therapies they tend to do cookie cutter psychology that puts people through set symptomatic treatments that emphasize symptoms while ignoring causal factors. This gives patients a false sense of security that they are receiving effective care when they aren't. This model benefits them so that they have patients to train their residents and can conduct research studies but lets patients slip through the cracks and promotes slow or ineffective treatment. Group interpersonal therapy ignored individual problems over one year duration. Individual therapy ignored areas the therapist wasn't trained in (depersonalization, child of a narcicistic parent). Ok for short term problems, depression/anxiety/anger but I wouldn't trust them for chronic ones because treatment isn't individualized enough. For example, I came in as a child of a narcicistic parent and had my background completely ignored and dumped into ineffective individual then group therapy then DBT therapy then recommended for autism screening! I saw patients that went for years without making progress (Bipolar and someone with a phobia against working). I wouldn't trust them to get at the root causes of someone's problem, only provide symptomatic care (like a bad physician). Probably best if you know you need a specific treatment regimen like CBT therapy for depression or DBT mindfullness therapy for suicidality. Parking costs are expensive unless you have a disabled placard, then there is free parking behind the building. Non disabled can get a parking discount at the gift shop in the hospital across the street-$4 for the whole day.

I brought a blind man and his guide dog in for his appointment.. Parking is a nightmare under these circumstances. We parked in the garage and nowhere is there any directions as to how to get to the Civitan Bldg. Apparently there is meter parking somewhere in the vicinity of the bldg. but nothing in the instructions tells you where that parking is located. In addition the building faces a four lane street and no cross walks are conveniently available and I am not about to walk a blind person and guide dog across Elba under these circumstances, if that is where the parking is located. I would like to suggest to the powers that be that they address these issues but I don't know who they might be.

This place is a godsend. They have a variety of doctors that can help you with whatever problem you are having. My doctor in particular is very awesome. For the following reasons:1. He talks to me on basically a equal level.2. He always says what he suggests we try as part of my therapy plan, but he then asks me if I would like to try it. This is important because by giving me the choice instead of lording over me, it makes it more likely that I will try it with an open mind.3. He's really super nice to me.4. He's not judgemental of the things that I tell him about. He just asks if that's working for me. Oftentimes we find out it isn't and he suggests an alternative idea in that regard.Your experience may be different depending upon the physician you get but they have a variety of new and seasoned professionals there to help you with your life goals.
