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.

Medical briefcase icon 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).

Heart icon Treatment

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.

substance-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

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.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

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.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

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

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 iconLife Skills

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 iconRecreational Therapy

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.

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

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.

I attended Wilmington treatment center from June 1st-July 1st for a 30-day treatment for opioid abuse (fentanyl blue 30 s). This place got me off drugs and saved my life and I ll always be thankful. I experienced little to no withdrawal symptoms at all during detox which was very surprising. The food isn t that bad, it s edible with a variety of choices each day.The people there are a mixture of good and bad just make sure to find people who are SERIOUS about recovery and want to coin out. They helped me get my life back and continue doing the things I loved doing before the drugs took it away and I m grateful.

I highly recommend WTC, the staff was absolutely wonderful. It's not easy working with a large group of people with addiction issues. Let alone when momentarily understaffed. You just about have to have the patience of a Saint to work there. And the counselors have it. The grounds were beautiful and the classes were very informative. It was the most relaxing 3 weeks I have ever had! The rooms were comfortable and better than I expected. They always had alternative meals if you didn't want the main dish. Again, they surpassed my expectations! 5 stars

This was my 4th time....haven't been for 3.5 years. I stayed the whole program this time and decided this would be my last time. I had a great counselor Mallory in Residential and Chris (again) in PHP. I stayed 42 days the last week I did the day program so I was able to go home at 430 every day! That helped me a great deal! WTC may not be for everyone, but it is what you make of it and if you do the work and are there for the right reasons you will be ok. I so appreciate everyone there. They have a tough job dealing with addicts and alcoholics of all walks of life and be professional day in and day out. The only issue I think is there are too many people there per counselor. Other than that I am so thankful I made the decision to go back and now I am on a wonderful path.

Wilmington helped me get through my opiate withdrawls and benzo withdrawls but they changed the program while I was in treatment. The whole schedule for the staff and patients was horrible. They give you no time to relax now, you are in classes 12 hours a day and the rest of the time is AA meetings and lunch breaks. This place needs more free time so people don't have to be sitting in class while throwing up and withdrawling. Also they do not care about your recovery, they want your money and it's all about your insurance company. If you have good insurance you'll be there forever..if u have bad insurance they will kick you out within 2 weeks. Also their sober living options are horrible. You will not be able to get inside one because they are always full and they are not run efficiently. Everyone I know got into a house and then left because they were not holding people accountable or people were using in the house. That is the most important part about recovery is what you do afterwards with the knowledge you have. And as of right now wilmington does not know how to KEEP people clean. They do a great job, getting people clean, they need to follow through...

My fiance went there and is now involved with the alumni of wtc. Since she has been involved so have I been involved with them too. I also have had the opportunity to get to know Kelly on morning check in group on zoom and all the fun activities every month. Kelly really cares about recovering addicts and alcoholic and helping them stay clean. I really think Kelly is great and inspiring person.
