About Carter Clinic

Carter Clinic in Raleigh, North Carolina supports folks affected by opioid dependence and mental health conditions. They can also help you address co-occurring disorders. This is when you simultaneously struggle with both mental conditions and opioid dependence.

They primarily offer medication assisted treatment (MAT). They also provide substance abuse comprehensive outpatient treatment (SACOT), a substance abuse intensive outpatient program (SATOP) and specialized intensive recovery support for women.

MAT uses meds approved by the FDA alongside behavioral therapy to support opioid addiction. Their MAT program uses Suboxone as a risk reduction med to reduce withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings. This is backed up with individual and family therapy to ensure “whole person” care.

Individual therapy enables you to address personal challenges with the guidance of a licensed therapist. It’s a great way to explore your thoughts, feelings or underlying emotions fueling your substance misuse. The therapist will assist you in setting recovery goals and monitoring progress. It’s all about building strong coping skills, preventing relapse and staying sober.

Family therapy is geared toward rebuilding trust, mending relationships and improving communication with loved ones. This promotes a positive family dynamic that strengthens your support network.

Their SACOT program focuses on stabilization and intensive support to help you manage your recovery process. It is highly structured and as such suitable if you’re dealing with severe substance use issues. You can expect several hours of treatment daily that extends multiple days weekly. Sessions include both group and individual therapy alongside educational and skill-building activities.

SAIOP is a relatively less intensive treatment than SACOT. It is suitable if you’ve completed detox or inpatient rehab and are moving towards a more independent recovery. You can expect just about three hours of therapy daily for three days weekly. This program offers more flexibility with sessions designed to accommodate your work and family commitments. It’s the perfect program to help you reintegrate into regular routines and responsibilities.

Both SACOT and SAIOP can incorporate MAT as well. You’ll receive addiction therapy alongside psychiatric care if you’re dealing with cooccurring conditions. This may include psychiatric assessment and medication management or monitoring. Their specialized women’s recovery support equips women with the tools to manage addiction challenges, heal from trauma, and navigate daily life. The facility also offers peer support and prevention services.
