Alcohol and Drug Services (ADS) East

ADS East structures its addiction treatment around two primary levels of care: Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and standard outpatient treatment. The IOP format provides multiple weekly sessions while allowing participants to maintain employment and family responsibilities, making it particularly valuable for individuals transitioning from residential treatment or those requiring structured support without full-time facility commitment.

Standard outpatient programming offers ongoing therapeutic support for individuals in stable recovery phases, focusing on relapse prevention and long-term sobriety maintenance. Both programs incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address thought patterns and behaviors contributing to substance use, while the facility's telehealth capabilities ensure continuous access to counseling services regardless of transportation or scheduling barriers.

The recovery center specializes in treating individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, recognizing that effective addiction treatment often requires simultaneous attention to underlying psychiatric conditions. This dual diagnosis approach addresses depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges that frequently accompany substance abuse, providing integrated care rather than treating these conditions separately.

ADS East's therapeutic framework acknowledges the complex relationship between mental health and addiction, utilizing CBT interventions that target both substance use behaviors and mental health symptoms. This comprehensive approach supports more sustainable recovery outcomes by ensuring participants develop coping strategies for managing both addiction triggers and mental health challenges in their daily lives.

Understanding that recovery must fit within real-world constraints, ADS East operates Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 2:30 PM, with weekend dosing hours from 6:30 to 9:15 AM. This early-morning availability allows working professionals to attend treatment sessions before standard business hours, while weekend services ensure continuity of care for participants requiring medication-assisted treatment or regular therapeutic check-ins.

The facility accepts a broad range of insurance plans including Medicaid, Medicare, and major private insurers such as Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and Wellcare. Sliding scale fee options provide additional accessibility for uninsured individuals, ensuring that financial barriers don't prevent access to addiction treatment services within the Greensboro community.

ADS East maintains certification as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), indicating specialized capability in treating opioid use disorders through medication-assisted treatment and comprehensive therapeutic support. This certification requires adherence to federal regulations governing opioid addiction treatment, ensuring participants receive clinically appropriate care for complex opioid dependencies.

The OTP designation, combined with CARF accreditation, demonstrates the facility's commitment to meeting rigorous quality standards in addiction treatment delivery. These credentials provide assurance to individuals and families seeking reputable opioid treatment options within Guilford County, backed by recognized national standards for addiction treatment excellence.
