About Queen City Treatment Center – Charlotte
Treatment Centers LLC offers opioid addiction and co-occurring disorder treatment through multiple centers in North Carolina. One of the centers is Queen City on Albemarle Road in Charlotte. Their programs are for adults.
They accept Medicare, some Medicare Advantage plans, and Medicaid. Some patients may be eligible for state funding. They also take many major insurance carriers.
The Charlotte clinic is an outpatient clinic. They’re open on weekdays and Saturdays at various hours. They’re closed on most federal holidays.
The clinic offers methadone treatment which is an evidence based therapy for opioid addiction. Methadone blocks the brain receptors that opioids affect thereby allowing you to gradually detox without terrible withdrawal symptoms. They also use Suboxone (a blend of naloxone and buprenorphine). Buprenorphine helps with withdrawal symptoms. Naloxone keeps you from misusing opioids.
Both the methadone and Suboxone treatments have positive results in as little as 90 days. There are no damaging side effects with these drugs as long as you take the proper dose. Licensed nurses, working under the supervision of an onsite doctor, administer the medications so you can be sure you’re getting the proper dose.
In addition to the medication assisted treatment (MAT), you’ll have a personalized approach to your recovery. You’ll participate in group and individual counseling to address any co-occurring disorder you may have. Some examples of co-occurring disorders are depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. The program also emphasizes a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and exercise.
The program starts with an initial intake at which time the team will make sure you have all the information you need to get started. They’ll answer any questions, verify your insurance, and discuss a comprehensive treatment plan. Be sure you leave a few hours for the initial intake. Most people are in the program for 90 days or more. If you’re on methadone maintenance, you’ll typically be required to stay in the program for 12 months or longer. If you think you’re pregnant, inform the staff as soon as possible.
