1. Could
you describe your program?
Our Acute Rehabilitation
Services program consists of a full day of classes/groups to help the
individual understand the addictive process, the impact of co-occurring
mental health issues, and provide education/tools to begin the recovery
process. Our acute rehabilitation treatment program generally lasts between
14 and 28 days, depending on the specific needs and progress of the individual.
At discharge, individuals are referred for continuing treatment through
their local mental health programs, self help groups, and other outpatient
resources.
Our Acute Care
Unit is available for short term crisis stabilization or detoxification
services. Both involuntary and voluntary admissions are considered.
2. How do I (or
a family member) obtain admittance to your rehabilitation program/facility?
Before being
admitted to JFK ADATC an individual must be evaluated and then referred
by the local mental health management entity (LME.) Please contact your
local management entity (i.e., Western Highlands; Mecklenburg; Smoky Mountain;
etc.) for an assessment. If the LME determines that an individual could
benefit from inpatient treatment for substance abuse or a co-occurring
mental illness complicated by substance use, the LME will make the arrangements
with JFK ADATC. Treatment is available to any resident of the 38 western
counties of North Carolina.

How do I (or a family member) obtain admittance for detoxification or crisis
stabilization?
We have a 30

services to substance abuse patients and those with co-occurring disorders.
Referrals are made through the mental health Local Management Entities
in conjunction with judicial commitment.
