About The Insight Program Charlotte
Charlotte, North Carolina, has many addiction treatment centers, but few are built just for young people. Located near the scenic Piedmont region, Insight Program Charlotte fills that gap. They offer a private outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program for teens and young adults ages 13 to 25.
Services include free drug and alcohol evaluations, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and 12 Step groups. They also hold weekend sober social events to help young people connect with others in recovery. While they don’t offer residential treatment in Charlotte, inpatient services are available at their locations in Arizona and Georgia.
A Different Take on Staying Sober
They call their 12 Step program Enthusiastic Sobriety, flipping the script on traditional recovery. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong it builds on fun, friendship and accountability in a space where you actually want to show up.
The goal is to make sobriety feel better than using ever did. Group sessions mix real talk with humor. Staff who’ve been through recovery help make recovery feel safe, not clinical. Social events and weekend hangouts turn recovery into a lifestyle, not just a treatment plan.
Separate Groups for Teens and Young Adults
Getting sober at 16 doesn’t feel the same as getting sober at 22. Something unique here is that they split teens and young adults into different recovery groups.
Teens often struggle with alcohol or marijuana use and may think adults are overreacting. Instead of giving a lecture they’ll help you find new ways to have fun and make friends who don’t make sobriety feel like a punishment.
Young adults know something needs to change but often feel disconnected in adult treatment groups. You’ll have a space to figure things out with people your age, learn how to stay sober and build a life that doesn’t revolve around drugs or alcohol.
The Insight Program has made a lasting impact on lives since 1987, including one person who reports coming in doubtful but leaving with a fresh perspective on life. It's a place where you can find support and build new connections while learning to live a sober life.
