Long-Term Drug Rehab in North Carolina
DRS and its addiction professionals believe that long-term substance use treatment is the most effective for rehabilitation and life-long sobriety—here are some reasons why:
- Long-term drug rehab programs in North Carolina generally utilize multiple treatment methodologies. For example, behavioral therapy, 12-step facilitation, faith-based treatment, holistic medicine, or experiential therapy.
- More extended programs provide opportunities to develop strong routines, healthy habits, behaviors, and structure.
- Patients take advantage of 24/7 medical support and supervision.
- Extended care and support are more accessible because clients build long-lasting relationships with other sober like-minded people.
- Long-term rehab programs generally address multiple needs, such as vocational, legal, social, or medical problems.

Getting Help With Substance Use: The Basics
Paying for Treatment in North Carolina
The cost of treatment in North Carolina can vary greatly depending on several circumstances. Chiefly among these is insurance. If a person has some form of health insurance, it can greatly reduce the cost associated with substance abuse treatment.
Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in North Carolina
Medicaid is an option for free healthcare in North Carolina for those who qualify. When paying for treatment with Medicaid, the person must choose a facility that accepts Medicaid insurance. Thankfully, the state has many of these, and Medicaid usually covers the full cost of care. More than 2.5 million residents have Medicaid coverage in North Carolina.
Using Private Insurance to Pay for Drug Rehab in North Carolina
Private health insurance costs money to purchase and maintain. It can be quite expensive, however, it may provide the person with better access to treatment. Unlike Medicaid programs, those that accept private health insurance rarely have waiting lists. They usually provide more individualized care, so more patients are likely to complete the program and stay in recovery.
It can be tough to know what to do for those who cannot afford private health insurance but don’t qualify for Medicaid. North Carolina’s health insurance marketplace gives access to certain plans that can be purchased for a discounted rate for those who can prove financial hardship. But the state has rejected federal assistance to expand its Medicaid program, leaving many individuals without health insurance coverage.
The following insurers are available through the North Carolina Health Insurance Marketplace Guide 2023:
- CareSource
- Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina
- Cigna
- Ambetter/Centene
- Bright Health
- Oscar
- UnitedHealthcare
- Aetna CVS Health
- Friday
- Celtic/WellCare
- AmeriHealth Caritas
Paying for Treatment when Uninsured
Thankfully, the people who find themselves paying for treatment when uninsured still have options. For example, some rehabs in North Carolina have sliding-scale payment options. With a sliding scale, the lower the person’s income, the less they’re required to pay for their treatment. This is often a better option than trying to find coverage and delaying the start of treatment.
You can contact one of the treatment specialists at DRS for more information on how to pay for treatment. Or contact the center directly.

DRS’ Evaluation of North Carolina Drug Treatment
A major benefit of searching for substance use treatment centers in North Carolina is the significant number of residential programs. Residential care remains the best option for long-term sobriety. An addiction assessment with a qualified professional can help you determine if this is the best option. Unfortunately, there are limited detoxification options. It is a good idea to arrange detox immediately and place a name on a waitlist if needed.
Financially, there are numerous affordable options in the state, yet not as many when compared to other states. Over half of the substance use treatment centers accept Medicaid or private health insurance. Yet, a limited number of facilities offer a sliding fee scale to low-income clients. Our experts recommend contacting more than one program. Ask about payment options. Also, call your local Medicaid office or health insurance provider to find out precisely what is covered.
