Bethel Colony of Mercy

Christian Based alchol/drug abuse facility for males that goes strictly by bible teaching principles that are highly affective with less relapse results later Facility food is based all on donations and sometimes not the best but they do what they can with what they have. This is a fabulous alcohol/drug abuse facility that i would highly recommend to any male battling addiction. Alot of love shown from the time you pull in the facility with welcoming hand shakes and hugs from facility crew and clients.

UNC Health Care Alcohol and Drug Detoxification Unit at WakeBrook

THE EMERGENCY ROOM WAITING AREA FOR ADMISSION NEEDS TO BE CLEANED AND SANTIZED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF SEEING A DOCTOR TOOK 40 HOURS DURING THIS TIME YOU HAVE TO WAIT IN A CHAIR IF YOU ARE NOT LUCKY ENOUGHT TO BE ASSIGNED TO A BED. UNC IS ONE OF THE ONLY HEALTHCARE FACILITIES THAT CAN ASSESS FOR THE MENTALLY ILL TO BE ADMITTED SINCE INSURANCE HAS CLOSED MOST OF THE FACILITIES. THEY DO THE BEST THEY CAN DO UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR FUNDING ON MENTAL HEALTH. CHILDREN ARE AROUND FULL BLOWN ADDICTS DURING THE ADMISSION PROCESS. ALTHOUGH STAFF TRY TO LIMIT WHAT THEY SEE. AFTER THE 2 DAY WAIT IF THERE IS A BED YOU MAY END UP AT UNC IF YOU ARE LUCKY OR YOU WILL HAVE TO GO SOMEPLACE ELSE WITHIN THE STATE THAT IS FAR FROM YOUR HOME. IF YOU HAVE A CHILD YOU WILL HAVE VISIT YOU CHILD LONG DISTANCE. THERE WERE NO FAMILY SUPPORT GROUPS. I WAS INVITED TO A GROUP BUT IT WAS OPEN WITH OTHER CHILDREN. DURING ADMISSION YOUR KID MAY END UP IN A REAL PADDED ROOM WITH A TV BEHIND A SCREEN AND CLOSE QUARTERS. THEY ARE MONITORED BY ROOM CAMERA BEFORE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE ADMITTED ON THE CHILDRENS FLOOR. AFTER YOU GET ADMITTED ON THE FLOOR IS WHEN TREATMENT FINALLY BEGINS. WHICH IS ALMOST A WEEK AFTER YOU WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM TO SEEK HELP. THEY WILL BE SHIFTED FROM BED TO BED AS STAFF SEES FIT. NO ONE IS IN THE SAME BEDROOM FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS. MEALS THEY SELECT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TOO MUCH BURGERS AND FRIES. THE NURSING STAFF IS EXCELLENT AND THE ATTENTION AND DEDICATION TO THE PROGRAM IS AWESOME. THEY HAVE A SCHEDULE THEY FOLLOW WITH TREATMENT OF SELF ESTEEM BUILDING. THERAPY. TALKING WITH THE DOCTOR. GAMES. ETC. MY SON WAS GLAD TO COME HOME BUT ENJOYED HIS TIME THERE. HE SAID HE GOT A LOT OUT OF THE PROGRAM. THE DOCTOR CALLS TO KEEP IN CONTACT AND TO KEEP YOU INFORMED. MY SON SAW THE DOCTOR EVERYDAY. SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. THEY ALSO REFERRED HIM TO OTHER CLINICS HE NEEDED. DISCHARGE THEY MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FOLLOW UP. THE SOCIAL WORKER IS ACCOMODATING. SHE WORKS HARD TO KEEP YOU INFORMED AND TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND DISCHARG. NURSES ALSO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND TO FOLLOW UP. THE TREATED THE CHILDREN EXCELLENT. I JUST FOUND THE ADMISSION PROCESS TO BE GRUELING AND THE OBSERVATION PROCESS TO STRESSFUL BECAUSE IT SEEMS YOU GET SUFFLED FROM ONE EXTREME TO THE NEXT WHEN YOU HAVE A MENTALLY ILL SICK CHILD TO CARE FOR IN A STRESSFUL SETTING. ONCE YOUR CHILD COMES AND IS MENTALLY ILL THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO HOME. UNC IS UNDER STRESS BECAUSE THEY AND ONLY A FEW HOSPITALS ACROSS THE STATE CAN ADMIT PATIENTS FOR REHAB CARE. THEY HAVE FEW DOCTORS WORKING. NOT SURE IF IT FOR BUDGET REASONG OR WHAT. HOPE THIS HELPS.

NC Substance Abuse Facts

The state of North Carolina was awarded $31 million in 2017 to help combat the current opioid overdose crisis.¹ This government grant will provide addiction treatment to almost 3,000 people and is very much needed in a state whose overdose death rates continue to increase every year.^1,2

Of the 1,567 drug overdose deaths in NC in 2015,² about 80% were due to opioids, such as prescription painkillers and heroin.^3,4,5

Looking at these numbers, it may not be surprising to learn that North Carolina has one of the highest number of painkiller prescriptions per person in the U.S. In 2012, there were 97 painkiller prescriptions per 100 people in the state.⁶

Prescription opioid use can be a slippery slope to heroin abuse; one study found that 86% of heroin users transitioned to the illicit drug after abusing opioid pain relievers.⁷ In North Carolina, 16,000 residents use heroin every year, a number that could continue to increase as prescriptions for opioids rise.⁸

Where Else Can I Find Help in NC?

It’s no secret that rehab can get expensive, especially if you need a longer stay in order to get sober. Don’t sacrifice your health to save some extra money; if you need financial assistance there are ways to make it happen, including.

Payment plans and sliding-scale fees: Ask the rehab center if they have discounted rates for low-income earners or installment plans that will reduce the burden of handing over a lump sum up front.
Health insurance: If you have private insurance, find a center that accepts your plan. Also ask whether they accept Medicaid or Medicare.
Personal loans and health care credit: If you need to pay more than you can afford at the start, you may be able to take out a loan to pay for it or apply for a health care credit card.
