About Carolina Performance

Carolina Performance occupies Suite 201 of the American Institute of Healthcare and Fitness (AIHF) at 8300 Health Park in north Raleigh, where a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and licensed therapists keep separate individual practices under a shared roof. The clinic is best known for sport and performance psychology, but most clients are non-athletes seeking help with substance use, trauma, mood, and general mental health concerns. Care is delivered exclusively on an outpatient basis.

The clinical lineup includes psychiatrists Dr. Eric Morse, Dr. Joshua Dittmer, Dr. Jun He, Dr. Hima Palakurthi, Dr. William Matthews, Dr. Heidi Green, Dr. Mitushi Mishra, Dr. Michelle Goldberg, Dr. Jozef Zelenak, and Dr. Jamila Battle, along with licensed clinician Darcee L. Ruble (LPC, LCAS) and providers Marilyn Shannon and Maren Londahl-Smidt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy anchors the treatment approach, often blended with mental-skills training drawn from performance psychology. Telehealth visits supplement in-office appointments.

The practice serves adolescents, young adults aged 18 to 25, men, women, and pregnant women, with explicit attention to trauma- and PTSD-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese, expanding access for the Triangle region’s international community. A practical perk for parents: the AIHF Youth Activity Center provides free childcare during appointments on weekdays, Saturday mornings, and Sunday afternoons.

Carolina Performance accepts private insurance and self-pay; clients are encouraged to verify benefits with individual providers since each practitioner manages billing independently. The office sits within easy reach of North Hills, Wakefield, and the broader Wake County area, and clients needing methadone services are referred to the affiliated Morse Clinics network.

Medical Detox Programs and Withdrawal Management

Carolina Performance provides comprehensive medical detox services through both inpatient detox and outpatient programs at their Raleigh Health Park location. The facility's medically supervised detox protocols are overseen by a team including Dr. Eric Morse, Dr. Joshua Dittmer, Dr. Jun He, and multiple additional physicians specializing in withdrawal management.

Detox programs at Carolina Performance address various substances while utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary therapeutic intervention. The center's approach to withdrawal management incorporates both residential treatment options and intensive outpatient detox programs, allowing clients to receive medically supervised care appropriate to their specific substance use patterns and withdrawal severity.

Specialized Care for Trauma and Co-occurring Conditions

Beyond standard drug detox and alcohol detox services, Carolina Performance specializes in treating clients with co-occurring trauma and PTSD during the withdrawal process. Licensed clinician Darcee L. Ruble (LPC, LCAS) leads trauma-informed care that addresses both substance use disorders and underlying psychological conditions requiring specialized withdrawal protocols.

The facility's medical detox programs recognize that many clients entering withdrawal management have histories of trauma that complicate the detox process. This dual-focus approach ensures that medically supervised detox addresses both physical withdrawal symptoms and psychological factors that may impact successful completion of detox programs.

Insurance Coverage and Accessibility

Carolina Performance accepts major insurance carriers for medical detox services, including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, TRICARE, Anthem, and Humana. The facility also accommodates self-pay clients seeking immediate access to withdrawal management without insurance pre-authorization delays.

Operating Monday through Saturday with extended hours until 8 PM on Tuesdays, Carolina Performance provides accessible scheduling for detox center intake and ongoing medically supervised treatment. The facility's Youth Activity Center offers free childcare services, removing a significant barrier for parents who need medical detox but lack childcare options during treatment hours.
