About Carolina Outpatient Detox
Carolina Outpatient Detox is a medical detox and outpatient treatment program located at 1117 East Morehead Street in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving patients across Charlotte and Raleigh. The facility operates under ASAM 1.7 level protocols — a clinically specific standard for medically supervised outpatient detox — distinguishing it from general outpatient counseling programs that do not provide withdrawal management. For people researching same-day or next-step detox options in Mecklenburg County, this program represents a structured, physician-overseen alternative to inpatient hospitalization.
The center offers two primary levels of care: Medical Detox and an Outpatient Program. The medical detox component follows 21-day protocols aligned with ASAM 1.7 guidelines, providing structured withdrawal management in an outpatient setting. This level of care is designed for individuals who require medically supervised detox but whose clinical presentation supports treatment outside of a residential or hospital-based environment. The Outpatient Program allows patients to continue structured treatment following the detox phase.
Clinical services at Carolina Outpatient Detox include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, individual therapy, and group therapy. The program also addresses Trauma and PTSD as a co-occurring condition, recognizing that substance use and trauma frequently intersect. After the primary detox and outpatient phases, the program provides alumni and aftercare support along with structured referrals to continued treatment, offering a defined pathway beyond the initial 21-day protocol.
Carolina Outpatient Detox serves a broad range of populations, including veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and those with court-ordered treatment requirements. The program accepts Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, making it accessible to a wide range of patients — including active military and veteran families covered under TRICARE. The facility operates seven days a week, with extended weekday hours from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM and weekend availability.
