About Coastal Horizons Center – Shallotte
At Coastal Horizons, located in Shallotte, North Carolina, you can receive help for substance misuse and mental health in an integrated way. They are an outpatient center but they offer a wide range of services that truly caught my attention.
Their outpatient treatment for adults includes individual therapy, group therapy and family counseling. They also provide auxiliary medical and psychiatric services. If you need a more structured approach, their intensive outpatient program offers comprehensive therapy options. Additionally, they have a full array of DWI services to assist with DWI assessments. For Spanish-speaking individuals, their Clinica Latina program provides specialized outpatient services.
For those struggling with opioid addiction, Coastal Horizons offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using medications such as buprenorphine and methadone.
They also provide adult residential and community services here, which follow the same intensive treatment model as their outpatient program but with 24-hour staff support in a safe living environment. Their Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program offers case management for individuals with severe and persistent mental health conditions who have a history of chronic homelessness.
Additionally, their Quick Response Team uses peer support specialists and therapists to engage with overdose survivors. They even have a jail diversion program to assist individuals in avoiding incarceration while receiving necessary treatment.
There is a lot that impressed me about Coastal Horizons. For younger individuals, they offer youth services and in-home services for families and children. They also provide support for the regional juvenile detention center, school-based behavioral health services, and research and internship partnerships.
