Verify Insurance — FreeWhat to Expect at Carolina Performance
Treatment at Carolina Performance begins with a comprehensive intake assessment covering substance use history, mental health status, and medical needs. This evaluation — typically lasting 1–2 hours — determines the appropriate level of care and creates an individualized treatment plan.
According to SAMHSA guidelines, effective addiction treatment addresses the whole person: not just substance use, but co-occurring mental health conditions, social factors, and long-term recovery planning. Programs at SAMHSA-verified facilities like Carolina Performance are structured to meet these comprehensive standards.
Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration of 90 days or more significantly improves outcomes. Many individuals in dual diagnosis, outpatient, detox programs see measurable progress within 30 days of consistent engagement.

We verify your coverage at no cost. Most plans — including Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance — cover addiction treatment under the ACA Mental Health Parity Act.
A licensed clinician evaluates your needs and creates an individualized treatment plan. This typically takes 1–2 hours and can be done by phone or in-person.
Many facilities offer same-day or next-day admission. You'll receive a welcome orientation, meet your care team, and begin your personalized recovery program.
Outpatient Programs
Outpatient treatment allows individuals to receive evidence-based addiction care while continuing to live at home and maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. Carolina Performance offers outpatient services that can serve as primary treatment or as a step-down from higher levels of care.
Outpatient programs come in different intensity levels:
- Standard Outpatient (OP): 1–2 sessions per week, typically 1–2 hours each. Best for maintenance and mild disorders.
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP): 3 sessions per week, 3 hours each (9+ hours/week). The most common outpatient level.
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP): 5 days per week, 5–6 hours per day. Near-inpatient intensity without overnight stay.
Research published in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment found that completion of outpatient treatment is a strong predictor of long-term recovery. Patients who completed their planned outpatient program were twice as likely to remain abstinent at 12-month follow-up compared to those who left early.
Medical Detox Services
Medical detoxification is the supervised process of clearing substances from the body while managing withdrawal symptoms. It is typically the necessary first step for individuals with physical dependence on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines.
Why medical supervision matters: Alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures and delirium tremens (DTs) — a life-threatening condition with a 5–15% mortality rate without treatment. Opioid withdrawal, while rarely fatal, causes intense physical symptoms that drive most unsupervised attempts to fail within hours. Medical detox prevents these risks and dramatically increases the likelihood of completing this first phase of treatment.
Detox duration varies by substance: alcohol typically 5–7 days, short-acting opioids 5–7 days, methadone 10–20 days, benzodiazepines 1–4 weeks. Following detox, transitioning directly into a rehabilitation program — rather than returning home — significantly improves outcomes.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual diagnosis refers to the co-occurrence of a substance use disorder alongside one or more mental health conditions — such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or ADHD. According to SAMHSA's 2023 National Survey, approximately 21.5 million American adults have co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.
Treating only the addiction while ignoring an underlying mental health condition — or vice versa — dramatically increases the risk of relapse. Integrated dual diagnosis treatment addresses both conditions simultaneously using a coordinated care team that includes addiction counselors, psychiatrists, and psychologists.
Effective dual diagnosis programs at facilities like Carolina Performance utilize evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and medication management for both psychiatric and substance use conditions. Research shows that integrated treatment produces significantly better outcomes than sequential or parallel treatment models.

Cost of Treatment & Insurance Coverage
The cost of addiction treatment varies significantly based on the level of care, program duration, and facility amenities. Here are national average estimates to help you plan:
| Program Type | Typical Duration | Average Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Detox | 5–7 days | $500–$1,500/day |
| Inpatient / Residential | 28–90 days | $5,000–$30,000/month |
| Intensive Outpatient (IOP) | 8–12 weeks | $3,000–$10,000 |
| Standard Outpatient | 3–6 months | $1,000–$3,000 |
Insurance coverage: Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most health insurance plans are legally required to cover substance use disorder treatment at the same level as physical health conditions. This means if your plan covers medical procedures, it must also cover addiction treatment.
Coverage typically includes medically necessary detox, inpatient/residential treatment, outpatient programs, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The specific amount covered — deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket maximums — varies by plan.

Aftercare & Long-Term Recovery Support
Recovery doesn't end when a treatment program concludes — it's an ongoing process. Research from NIDA consistently shows that people who engage with continuing care after completing primary treatment have significantly better long-term outcomes than those who return directly to independent living without support.
Aftercare options typically include:
- Continuing outpatient therapy: Weekly individual or group sessions to reinforce recovery skills and address challenges as they arise
- Sober living homes: Structured, substance-free housing with peer support — ideal for those transitioning from residential treatment
- Peer support groups: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), SMART Recovery, and similar programs provide free ongoing community support
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): For opioid and alcohol use disorders, ongoing medications like buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone may be clinically recommended
- Recovery coaching: Peer mentorship from individuals with lived experience in recovery
A 2021 study in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment found that individuals who participated in structured aftercare for 6+ months following primary treatment had a 50–60% reduction in relapse rates compared to those with no aftercare engagement. Good treatment programs — including those that meet SAMHSA standards — create comprehensive discharge plans before a patient leaves the program.
Is This the Right Facility for You?
