How to Choose Treatment in Greensboro

If you’re looking for the best help for you in Greensboro, you have options. You can find crisis stabilization, detox, inpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), medications for addiction treatment (MAT), counseling, and sober living. Same-day help is possible, but beds can be limited — especially for family-specific programs — so call ahead and ask about bridge care (telehealth check-ins, interim medications, or groups) if there’s a wait. Most private insurance is accepted, and many nonprofits and opioid treatment programs OTPs take Medicaid and Medicare. If you don’t have insurance, there are also sliding-scale and no-cost slots available. Same-day detox or residential programs can be limited, as well as teen programs, luxury rehab, veteran’s programs, and pet-friendly rehabs, so you may need to look beyond Greensboro for these services.

Can I start detox in Greensboro today?

Yes — help can start today. Call a 24/7 clinic to begin medication for withdrawal and stabilization. Call first to confirm space:

• Guilford County Behavioral Health Center: 336-890-2700

When you call, ask about Spanish-language services and transportation assistance. If they’re full, ask for bridge care (telehealth, interim medications, groups) so you can start right away.

Do I need to travel for rehab, or is care available in Greensboro?

You usually don’t have to travel. Greensboro and the surrounding Triad have detox, hospital-based stabilization, residential and outpatient rehab, MAT clinics, and therapy through Cone Health, Daymark Recovery Services, and other nonprofits. Travel may be helpful if you have specific preferences like luxury amenities, specialized tracks, or if you are in need of a change of scenery. Many local providers also offer telehealth so you can start counseling or medical visits from home.

The programs below are examples of options that may be a good fit depending on your needs — explore them to see which might be right for you.

When you call to confirm services, ask about integrated psychiatry care, medication management, and a coordinated step-down plan.

Choosing the Right Rehab

How do I choose the right level of care?

Start with an independent assessment from a clinician who specializes in substance use problems and isn’t employed by a treatment center. They can help you choose between treatment options like outpatient, residential, hospital inpatient, withdrawal management (detox), and medications used alongside therapy. Learn more about choosing the right rehab for your needs. 

Who can help me choose the best rehab in Greensboro right now?

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Call the Alcohol/Drug Council of North Carolina’s 24/7 hotline (1-800-688-4232) and Sandhills Center’s access line (800-256-2452). They can assess your needs and coordinate referrals — especially if you’re uninsured or using state funding. Ask about immediate openings, transportation, and bridge care. You can also request a certified peer support specialist who has lived experience for personal guidance.

How can I check if a Greensboro rehab is licensed (and accredited)?

Before you choose, look up the program through the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services facility listings. Also ask whether they hold national accreditation (e.g., The Joint Commission or CARF). Accreditation isn’t required, but it’s a useful extra quality signal. Learn more about accreditation and other indicators of quality care.
