Addiction Recovery Medical Services

Addiction Recovery Medical Services provides medical detox and outpatient programming at its Statesville, NC location on Signal Hill Drive Extension. As a CARF-accredited recovery center with an Opioid Treatment Program certification, ARMS operates within a clinical framework that supports both the early and ongoing stages of recovery.

Medical detox at ARMS provides a supervised starting point for people entering treatment, while the outpatient program supports continued recovery without requiring a full departure from daily life. Together, these two levels of care create a continuum — from initial stabilization through the longer work of building a sustainable, substance-free life. Residents of Statesville, Taylorsville, and Iredell County can reach the admissions team at (704) 872-0234.

Many people entering substance abuse treatment are also managing mental health conditions that have gone unaddressed or undertreated. At ARMS, co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis are part of the clinical scope, meaning conditions like trauma and PTSD are treated as connected pieces of the same picture rather than separate concerns handled elsewhere.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the confirmed therapeutic method used at the center, providing participants with structured tools to examine and change thought patterns tied to substance use. This approach fits naturally into an outpatient setting where participants are actively living in their communities — practicing new thinking in real-life context rather than in isolation.

Addiction Recovery Medical Services explicitly serves veterans, pregnant women, young adults (18–25), seniors and older adults, men, women, people living with HIV/AIDS, and individuals entering treatment through court orders. This breadth means the center has experience working with populations whose recovery needs differ significantly from one another — and has structured its programs to respond accordingly.

Payment access is a real part of accessibility. ARMS accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, removing financial barriers that often delay people from starting treatment. TRICARE acceptance in particular makes ARMS a relevant option for veterans and active-duty military families in the Statesville and Taylorsville areas who need a credentialed substance use treatment program close to home.

One of the more practical differentiators at Addiction Recovery Medical Services is its approach to program duration. Rather than placing every person into the same fixed-length track, ARMS structures program length according to the personal needs of each patient. That means the timeline for outpatient treatment is shaped by clinical progress and individual circumstances, not by a standard calendar.

The center operates seven days a week, with early morning hours on weekdays — some starting as early as 4 or 5 AM — and limited weekend hours, providing scheduling access that accommodates people with work and family obligations. Prospective patients and family members can reach ARMS directly at (704) 872-0234 or at [email protected] to discuss how the program structure could fit their specific recovery situation.
