About Support Incorporated – Gastonia
Located in Gastonia, North Carolina, Support Incorporated has been providing mental health and substance use treatment for young people for over 20 years. Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), their multidisciplinary team understands that children have specialized needs in therapy.
With same day access to care, their integrated programs are designed to meet families where they’re at. Referrals can come from parents or the school, and services are attainable in Spanish. They provide extended appointment hours to fit into your schedule, and telehealth visits are available.
The Gastonia location offers day treatment programs as well as less intensive outpatient services. The day treatment program is five days a week in a classroom setting that’s less disruptive than a residential program. Children typically spend six to nine months learning about coping skills and self management in addition to working on schoolwork assigned by their home schools. Group therapy uses activities based on cognitive behavioral therapy to build on social skills and teamwork. The goal is the eventual transition back to a more traditional school.
In addition they offer high-fidelity wraparound (HFW) services, an evidence based process designed to help the families of children and adolescents. This nonclinical, team driven approach is open to families with children under the age of 21. Children remain in the home rather than going to residential treatment while they get the care they need from a combination of family, friends, professionals, and community resources. The team consists of a wraparound facilitator, a family support partner, and a youth support partner. Together they use their resources and skills to develop and implement a program that meets the needs of the entire family.
