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.

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.

Outpatient Drug Treatment Programs

Coastal Horizons Center Inc provides outpatient addiction treatment services for adults who have completed initial withdrawal management. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, offering structured programming that fits around work and family obligations. Their outpatient model serves individuals transitioning from medical detox programs who need ongoing therapeutic support.

The center's group therapy sessions utilize evidence-based approaches including the Seeking Safety method, which specifically addresses trauma and substance use disorders. This programming helps clients develop practical coping strategies and relapse prevention skills essential for maintaining sobriety after completing alcohol detox, opioid detox, or other withdrawal management programs.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment Approach

Coastal Horizons Center specializes in treating co-occurring disorders, recognizing that many individuals struggle with both addiction and mental health conditions. Their dual diagnosis approach addresses substance use disorders alongside psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. This integrated treatment model prevents the common cycle where untreated mental health issues lead to relapse.

The facility's therapeutic methods focus on helping clients understand the connection between their mental health and substance use patterns. Through group therapy sessions and specialized programming, participants learn to manage both conditions simultaneously, building a foundation for long-term recovery beyond the initial detox phase.
