Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, Atrium Health Behavioral Health Charlotte has an emergency psychiatric department to assist individuals struggling with a psychiatric condition. They offer a range of outpatient and inpatient treatment services to treat mental illnesses that may also be contributing to substance use disorder.

The facility can assist individuals who are facing serious mental health challenges that need more care than traditional outpatient services can offer. Through the program, clients will learn skills that can help them improve their mental health and avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms such as substance use.

The mental health conditions that clients can receive treatment for include bipolar disorder and severe depression. The program features services such as individual and group therapy, medication management and recreational therapy. With medication management, a psychiatrist will work with you to determine the best option for your symptoms.

Medical providers will make sure you’re taking the medication appropriately and that it’s working effectively. The facility has 20 years of experience providing psychiatric services to patients. They’re staffed with nurses, psychiatrists and licensed counselors.

Atrium Health offers more intensive substance use disorder treatment at the addiction services wing of their facility. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) will require you to meet multiple times a week for multiple hours a day in group therapy sessions. Topics that may be touched on include identifying triggers and stress management.

When clients have time outside of treatment sessions, they can start finding sober activities to enjoy in Charlotte. One option worth considering is visiting Freedom Park. You can walk a variety of different trails and enjoy a lakeside view.
