Neil Dobbins Center

They offer inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Asheville has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

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

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Asheville, not all of them do.

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Asheville is set up for it.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Asheville has 8 other centers to try.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Asheville.

It is the same treatment with reporting attached, and most of the programs listed here take referrals. What gets reported is attendance and completion, not what you said in a session, unless the order says otherwise. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.

Plans sold on the marketplace have to include addiction treatment, so the open question is which level of care yours will approve. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
