About
About Coastal Horizons Center Inc
Coastal Horizons Center is one of North Carolina’s larger nonprofit behavioral health agencies. Founded as a community-based crisis and substance use program, Coastal Horizons today serves more than half of the state’s 100 counties through outpatient treatment, opioid treatment programs (OTP), justice services, crisis intervention, prevention, and supportive housing. The Shallotte location at 120 Coastal Horizons Drive is the agency’s anchor site in Brunswick County.
Substance use services at Shallotte are built around outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) counseling for adults living with substance use disorders, including opioid use disorder. As a SAMHSA-certified Opioid Treatment Program, the clinic delivers medication-assisted treatment alongside individual and group counseling, care management, and telehealth. Spanish-language services through Clinica Latina expand access for Spanish-speaking clients, and SAMHSA records confirm services for Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients.
The agency’s continuum extends well beyond traditional outpatient care. Adjacent programs include the Post Overdose Response Team, the Quick Response Team, the PATH outreach program for individuals experiencing homelessness with serious mental illness, and the HOPE Initiative for opioid users seeking treatment. Mobile clinics extend services into rural communities, and a 24-hour after-hours line at 910-685-0205 supports active clients.
Financially, Coastal Horizons accepts Medicaid, Medicare, most private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. Sliding-scale fees and financial assistance are available based on federal poverty guidelines. The agency is CARF-accredited, a Trillium valued provider, and operates under a strong health equity framework. With 50-plus years of community work, statewide reach, and a comprehensive continuum from prevention to recovery support, Coastal Horizons is one of the more established treatment options in southeastern North Carolina.
