South Charlotte VA Healthcare Center - Outpatient Clinic

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Charlotte, 2 offer a bed.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Charlotte.

Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 2 named programs at this address.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Charlotte.

Charlotte has 83 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask what the step down looks like after the main program ends.

Going back into treatment is normal, and most centers treat people who have been through it before. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
