Eleanor Health Hickory

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Conover is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 4 places near Hickory that do it.

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Hickory has 7 other centers to ask.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Hickory may not have a second place set up for it.

The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Hickory, and there are 7 inside 14 miles.

Whether a particular program satisfies an order is a question for the court rather than for a directory page. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.

Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.

They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. Medical risk pushes toward inpatient care: withdrawal that needs supervision is not an outpatient problem. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.
