About Nash UNC Healthcare
UNC Health Nash is a UNC Health-affiliated hospital system serving Nash, Edgecombe, and surrounding counties in northeastern North Carolina. The system’s behavioral health services operate from Coastal Plain Hospital at 2301 Medpark Drive in Rocky Mount, where SAMHSA recognizes the program for medical detoxification and inpatient substance use and mental health treatment.
The behavioral health program is built around acute stabilization. Medical detoxification helps adults safely withdraw from alcohol and opioid dependence, while inpatient mental-health services address depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and substance-related psychiatric crises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy anchors the clinical model, supplemented by group and individual therapy and active medication management by hospital-based psychiatrists. The program specifically supports Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients through ASL services – a SAMHSA-designated population for this site.
As part of UNC Health, Nash benefits from connections to academic medical specialists, advanced specialty care, and an integrated electronic record. Patients can move from emergency services or primary care into behavioral health and back into rehabilitation services or community-based follow-up without changing systems. The hospital was named among the nation’s top hospitals by The Leapfrog Group, an external recognition of safety and quality.
UNC Health Nash accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, state insurance, most major private insurance, and self-pay. The system maintains a billing and financial assistance team to help patients understand cost before admission. The main hospital number is 252-962-8000 and the behavioral health admissions line is 252-962-5000. My Nash Chart is the patient portal for scheduling, billing, and records access.
