1. What is your
program like?
Our rehabilitation program consists of a full day of classes/groups
to help the patient understand the addictive process and provide education/tools
to overcome that addiction or mental illness complicated by addiction.
Our inpatient treatment program generally lasts between 14 and 28 days,
depending on the specific needs and progress of the patient. At discharge,
patients are referred for continuing treatment through their local mental
health centers, self help groups, or other outpatient resources.
2. How do I (or
a family member) obtain admittance to your rehabilitation program/facility?
Before being admitted to JFK ADATC a client must be evaluated
and then referred by their local mental health center/community. Please
contact your community program (i.e., Blue Ridge; Mecklenburg; Foothills;
Piedmont) for an assessment. If the community determines that a client
could benefit from inpatient treatment for addiction or mental illness
complicated by addiction that community program will make the arrangements
with JFK. Treatment is available to any resident of the 37 western counties
of North Carolina.
