How We Rank Listings
Every facility on this page is verified against public licensing and accreditation records before it appears in our directory. We prioritize programs that hold recognized third-party accreditation from the Joint Commission or the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), that carry current state licensure through the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation, and that clearly report the levels of care and payment options they offer.
Listings are organized to help you compare what matters most when choosing care: location, treatment types, insurance and payment acceptance, and specialty programs. We do not sell placement, and paid sponsorship never changes a facility’s position based on clinical quality. When information cannot be verified through a facility or a public source, we leave it out rather than guess.
- Current state licensure and third-party accreditation status
- Levels of care and evidence-based services offered
- Accepted insurance and payment options, including Medicaid and financial assistance

Rehab in High Point: What to Know
High Point sits in southwestern Guilford County and forms one corner of the Piedmont Triad alongside Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Known worldwide as the “Furniture Capital” and home to the twice-yearly High Point Market, the city has an economy and population that swell during market weeks. Our directory lists 15 treatment providers in and around the city, with a notably strong inpatient and outpatient bench. For programs beyond the city limits, you can also browse the full North Carolina rehab directory, which includes communities across the Triad.
Local care is anchored by Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist High Point Medical Center, the city’s main hospital, alongside High Point University and a network of outpatient providers. Guilford County runs one of the more developed county overdose responses in the state through GCSTOP, the Guilford County Solution to the Opioid Problem, a partnership between county Emergency Services and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro that distributes naloxone, operates syringe services, and runs a post-overdose response team. When comparing programs, it helps to understand the full range of addiction treatment options before deciding.
Guilford County has carried one of the higher overdose burdens in North Carolina, driven largely by fentanyl in the street drug supply. The county has also used opioid settlement funds to build treatment capacity, including a family-focused recovery program for pregnant and parenting women. If synthetic opioids are part of your situation, our overview of fentanyl addiction and overdose risk explains what to watch for.
Cost of Rehab in High Point
The cost of treatment in High Point varies by the level of care you need, how long you stay, and whether you use insurance. Statewide averages give a useful starting point for what different types of care tend to cost in North Carolina before insurance is applied. Verifying your benefits early is one of the most effective ways to lower what you pay out of pocket, and our guide to using insurance for rehab walks through how to do that.
High Point’s cost of living sits close to the North Carolina average, so local treatment prices tend to track these statewide figures, and its strong outpatient supply gives residents lower-cost paths that do not require a residential stay. Rather than focusing on a single sticker price, it helps to weigh cost against the level of care that fits your situation, since inpatient and outpatient programs occupy very different points on the price range. Several factors influence the final number:
How to Pay for Rehab in High Point
Cost should not be the reason someone goes without care, and among the 15 High Point facilities in our directory there is a wide mix of payment options. Most accept self-payment and private insurance, and a number work with public coverage and assistance programs. Because North Carolina expanded Medicaid in December 2023, more low-income adults now qualify for help paying for treatment. The cards below show how many local facilities report accepting each payment type.
Medicaid
North Carolina expanded Medicaid to more adults ages 19 through 64 in December 2023, which broadened access to substance use treatment across the state. Seven High Point facilities in our directory accept North Carolina Medicaid, and coverage includes medications for opioid use disorder such as buprenorphine and methadone. If a medication-based approach is part of your plan, our guide to medication-assisted treatment explains how it works.
Medicare
Medicare covers addiction treatment for eligible adults aged 65 and older and for some younger people with qualifying disabilities. Coverage spans inpatient care, outpatient services, and medications used in treatment, though specific costs depend on which parts of Medicare you carry. Four High Point facilities in our directory report accepting Medicare, so confirm what applies to you before you enroll in a program.
Military Benefits
Veterans and active-duty service members in the High Point area have coverage options through TRICARE, accepted at four local facilities, and two programs offer dedicated services for veterans and service members. Veterans enrolled in VA health care can also access substance use treatment through regional VA clinics such as the Kernersville VA Health Care Center, which serves the Piedmont Triad. Our rehab resources for veterans and military outline what these benefits cover.
Insurance and Private Pay
Twelve High Point facilities accept private health insurance. Under federal parity rules, most plans cover addiction treatment at the same level as other medical care, but your actual cost depends on your plan, deductible, and whether a program is in network. Verifying benefits before admission is the single best way to avoid a surprise bill.
Other Low-Cost Options
For people without robust insurance, five High Point facilities report offering financial assistance, four use sliding-scale fees that adjust the price to your income, and two offer financing so treatment costs can be spread over time. Guilford County’s publicly funded behavioral health system and its opioid settlement-funded programs extend care to residents who would otherwise be priced out. People who need help covering a specific program can also explore rehab scholarships as another route to care. Many major insurance carriers are accepted across High Point facilities, including:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina
- Aetna
- Cigna
- UnitedHealthcare
- Humana
- Ambetter
Levels of Care Available in High Point
High Point offers a full continuum of care, with particularly strong inpatient and outpatient options. Our directory lists 8 detox facilities, 11 inpatient rehab programs, and 15 outpatient clinics. The cards below show what is available locally.
For many people, care begins with medical detox, where withdrawal is managed under supervision, often with medication to ease symptoms. From there, many step into inpatient or residential treatment for structured, round-the-clock support, a level of care especially well represented in High Point, while the widely available outpatient programs let people keep working or caring for family while attending treatment. Seven High Point programs treat co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression alongside addiction. Planning for aftercare from the start makes lasting recovery more likely.
Specialty Programs in High Point
Many High Point facilities tailor treatment to specific populations and substances. The counts below reflect the specialty options most commonly reported by local providers.
Fourteen programs treat alcohol use disorder, the most common single focus in the directory, and eight address opioid use disorder, usually with medication-assisted treatment. Nine programs work with young adults, a fit for a city home to High Point University where young adult and college student substance use is a real concern. Two providers offer LGBTQ+ affirming addiction care, and programs for older adults, veterans, and gender-specific tracks round out the specialty mix.

Drug and Alcohol Use Statistics in High Point
Guilford County’s substance use crisis is documented through county and state public health data. The county has posted one of the higher overdose death rates in North Carolina, driven largely by fentanyl in the street drug supply. Understanding the local picture helps explain why timely access to treatment and naloxone matters so much.
The statewide decline is encouraging, but Guilford County’s own death rate remained high in 2024, which is why the county has steered settlement dollars toward naloxone, harm reduction, and expanded treatment capacity through programs like GCSTOP and its family-focused recovery services. For a broader look at how these figures compare nationally, see our overview of national substance use statistics.
