Atrium Health - Kings Mountain Behavioral Health

They are set up for 2 levels: inpatient hospital and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Kings Mountain, 1 offers a bed.

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Kings Mountain has 8 other centers to compare.

People dealing with past trauma are one of the 3 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Kings Mountain that is the part that varies.

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Kings Mountain has 8 other centers to ask.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Kings Mountain can mean one group rather than several.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. The early part of any program is mostly stabilizing, and the work people picture when they think of treatment starts after that. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.

It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Have your member id with you when you call, because nothing can be checked without it.
