About

About Wake Forest Baptist Health

Wake Forest Baptist Health is the academic medical center anchor of the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist system in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Its Chemical Dependency Program operates from 791 Jonestown Road and offers outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for adults with substance use disorders, alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and co-occurring mental health conditions. As an academic referral center connected to Wake Forest University School of Medicine, the program draws on faculty psychiatrists, addiction-medicine physicians, and behavioral health clinicians.

Care follows an evidence-based outpatient model anchored by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, medication management, group counseling, and individual psychotherapy. The dual-diagnosis emphasis lets patients with depression, anxiety, or trauma alongside substance use receive integrated care without bouncing between providers. The clinic provides ASL services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients, a population SAMHSA specifically flags as served by this site.

Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s leadership team includes CEO and Chief Academic Officer Dr. Julie A. Freischlag, MD, FACS, FRCSEd(Hon), DFSVS, MAMSE; President Dr. David Zaas, MD, MBA; School of Medicine Dean and Chief Science Officer Dr. L. Ebony Boulware, MD, MPH; and Vice Chief Academic Officer for Health Professions Dr. Terri Yates, PhD. The system also operates Brenner Children’s Hospital, a Comprehensive Cancer Center, and network hospitals in Davie, High Point, Lexington, and Wilkes counties.

Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and self-pay, with discounted self-pay rates available for patients without insurance.
