About Wilmington Treatment Center

If you or a loved one are suffering from the disease of addiction and live in Wilmington, North Carolina, help may be right around the corner. Wilmington Treatment Center is an addiction rehab center and recovery hospital. They offer detox, residential, and partial hospitalization services to individuals suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, and dual diagnosis conditions.
They also offer medication assisted treatment for those trying to quit opioid addictions or alcohol.

During the detox process, you’ll be under close supervision by a team of medical professionals who will administer the necessary medication for you to safely and comfortably detox from drugs or alcohol. This will limit cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Their residential program is similar to the detox process, but you’ll be in a cozy environment and feel more at home. You’ll be a part of individual, group, and family therapy sessions, as well. You can also benefit from recreational therapy, which lets you enjoy healthy leisure activities while you focus on recovery. Partial hospitalization is also available for slightly less intensive care that allows you to return home after therapy. I found it to be a definite bonus that their center accepts Medicare along with other commercial insurances.

Accepted Insurance

Wilmington Treatment Center 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

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Wilmington Treatment Center has more than 30 years of experience helping people successfully manage the withdrawal process in their detox program. Their caring team, consisting of American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)-certified medical director, licensed marriage and family therapist, licensed Master’s-level clinicians, certified substance abuse counselors, licensed recreation therapist, certified art therapist, physician’s assistants, and registered nurses, is ready to help each patient in the care through the withdrawal process.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehabilitation treatment at Wilmington Treatment Center is often one of the most meaningful periods of care during a patient’s stay with us. During inpatient rehabilitation, patients live at Wilmington and benefit from a 24-hour supportive, structured atmosphere. This environment is ideal for those who require a structured, drug-free environment, as well as those in need of medical supervision.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
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.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
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.
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).

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.

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 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.
military-program thumbnail image
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).
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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

In an effort to provide education and support to the family members and loved ones in our patients’ lives, Wilmington is pleased to offer a Family Program. Offered each Saturday and Sunday, this program allows individuals in our patients’ primary support networks to come together to share their stories, learn about resources available to them, and receive the care they need to help the person they care about successfully recover from an 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.

While Wilmington itself is a dynamic community that provides patients with substantial support from their peers and our staff, there is much to gain from patients being able to meet with a counselor in a private setting. Patients are assigned a primary counselor at the start of their treatment and can meet with their counselors when it is recommended by our clinical team or when a patient needs additional support. 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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

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.

If you're struggling with insecurity about your ability to make changes in your life, motivational interviewing in North Carolina could be a good solution. This type of therapy offers support and empowerment to help you explore your options and decide how to move forward with positive changes.

"Wilmington Treatment Center has been helpful in the past, but its large population often triggers me. I prefer smaller groups (less than 20 people) and a safe space. However, I've found that the center's LGBTQ+ friendliness can be inconsistent, with some experiences being welcoming and others feeling intimidating."During my multiple visits, I've noticed that patients often feel forced to form close-knit groups to feel safe, which can be overwhelming for those who prefer smaller social interactions. Unfortunately, after reaching out to them recently, I was met with silence, suggesting that the center may be struggling with internal issues or prioritizing profits over patient care." Never to mention, there's often cigarette pots strewn across the area and clinical staff And staff in general are rather inconsistent in their own way.

This was the most disgusting place and if you re thinking of coming here. DONT. They treat you poorly and nurses do not come in to check on you. I had a family member in here to detox off of benzos. Needless to say it was only a day, she fainted and had to be rushed to hospital due to a head injury . She asked several times for help and no one was helping her. She also said how nasty and rude they were and felt like she was in prison. The staff is very sweet to you on the phone, but once you re admitted, they treat you much different. Never ever will I recommend this place to anyone.

They advertise EMDR, interventions Seeking Safety and Gorski's Relapse Prevention, but provide NONE OF THAT. They state they help with co occurring disorders limited to anxiety and depression but they certainly don t do that! They STATE they promote and offer sober recreational programs (paddle boarding, horseback riding). SURPRISE THAT NEVER HAPPENED.They advertise individual therapy with a counselor. That never happened! They advertise a strong program inclusive of family and kids. Bullcrap. None of what is advertised is provided. I signed up for acupuncture. I was told there was a waitlist, but I would be put down on the list.The next week, knowing that a lot of people had left the program that were receiving acupuncture, I was still told I was on a wait list and I would be called for an assessment. I was never called for that assessment. The counselor is to advocate on your behalf for medications, anything you need during treatment. I went to my counselor several times verbally, as well as in writing, stating I was having severe anxiety, depression, high stress levels and needed help. Nothing ever came from that either. Terrible. One time in our 9am counselor group, I pleaded for help. Nothing came from it. I was suffering and suffering terribly my entire time at PHP. It got so bad, my counselor rolled her eyes at me, turned her back on me while I was crying, reprimanded me for going to Dr. G, and reprimanded me for going to the director. It is not a safe place. Tarsha should be FIRED!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

A female called me back, praise the lord! She accepted my participation in an assessment on 12/24/24 at 2pm. She proceeds to call me back and verbatim, with the holidays and all these other things, you need to provide your address before speaking with us. I don't live in Wilmington, I'm making a major life move. She has nothing to say and hangs up on me. This place is appalling, abysmal. Zero.
