Charlotte Detox Center

Charlotte Detox Center is a medical detox facility in Charlotte, North Carolina that is affiliated with Carolina Center for Recovery. It offers medically supervised detox.

This is accompanied by withdrawal management medications after which adults transition into residential or outpatient treatment for substance use and dual disorders. Private detox rooms read more like a small medical unit than a typical detox wing.

Medical Detox With Scoring

Charlotte Detox Center is a 16 bed medical detox unit with 24 hour medical and nursing supervision and hourly nursing rounds using COWS and CIWA withdrawal scoring as well as daily availability of medical and psychiatric providers.

A central nursing station is staffed by two licensed nurses per shift. Withdrawal severity is measured and documented on a schedule rather than assessed informally and medication adjustments can follow a standardized score. The unit also manages detox off methadone.

For those who proceed into withdrawal management for alcohol or opioids this level of structured monitoring is exemplary over a social setting detox.

Private Detox Rooms on Campus

Private detox rooms include televisions and lockable storage with a private vanity. A shower and toilet are shared between two adjacent rooms and the single story unit is fully wheelchair accessible with lounges and a gym, walking paths, and courts.

Catered meals accommodate dietary and religious needs. The detox center is located on a campus on Statesville Road as part of the Carolina Center for Recovery and clients praise a caring and knowledgeable staff.

Charlotte Detox Center serves adults across the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Case management support and referral pathways into ongoing care after detox are available.
