Addiction treatment plays a vital role in Durham, North Carolina, where substance use disorders affect a significant portion of our community. Recent data shows that about 12.5% of people aged 12 or older in the Raleigh-Durham-Cary area have used illicit drugs in the past year. The region faces particular challenges with opioid addiction, with Durham County experiencing 17 overdose deaths per 100,000 residents in recent years. The community also grapples with alcohol abuse and the use of other substances like cocaine and marijuana.

At Eleanor Health, we address these challenges through comprehensive treatment options that include medication assistance, mental health support, and peer counseling. Our flexible in-person and online support services ensure accessible care for everyone in the Durham community, helping individuals recover and strengthening our community as a whole.

Mental health care is a critical need in North Carolina, where approximately one in five adults experiences mental health conditions annually. Recent data shows that 24.9% of adults report symptoms of anxiety or depression, with particularly concerning trends among youth since the COVID-19 pandemic. Untreated mental health conditions can significantly impact daily life, affecting everything from employment and education to family relationships and overall well-being.

At Eleanor Health, we provide comprehensive mental health services through both virtual and in-person care options. Our experienced mental health professionals offer evidence-based treatment options, including individual therapy, group support, and medication management when appropriate. By making quality mental health care more accessible, we help North Carolina residents build stronger, healthier lives.

Different stages of recovery may require different levels of care. Addiction rehab facilities offer several programs to match your specific needs and circumstances:

Inpatient treatment programs provide 24/7 medical care in a hospital setting, which is often necessary for alcohol detox or when more intensive support is needed.

Residential treatment programs offer a structured living environment with full-time therapeutic programming for those who benefit from around-the-clock support.

As an outpatient treatment provider, Eleanor Health offers flexible care that works around your daily life, allowing you to maintain work and family commitments while receiving treatment.

While we specialize in outpatient services, we understand everyone’s journey is different. If you need a higher level of care first, we’ll help connect you with trusted providers who can support those early stages of recovery.

Outpatient addiction treatment offers several levels of care within a comprehensive continuum of care. Each level provides a different intensity of treatment to match individual needs:

• Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) offer the most structured environment, with treatment sessions running several hours per day, multiple days per week.
• Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide a balanced approach, typically meeting 2-3 times per week for several hours each session.
• Standard outpatient care involves regular appointments that work around daily commitments.

Your care team will continuously evaluate your progress and adjust the level of care accordingly. This flexible approach ensures appropriate support at every recovery stage while accommodating work, family, and personal responsibilities.

Your recovery journey deserves a treatment approach that’s as unique as you are. That’s why our interdisciplinary team combines evidence-based treatments with personalized support to help you heal and grow. We offer proven behavioral health therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation skills, and family therapy to strengthen your support system. Combined with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), these therapeutic approaches help you develop practical life skills, manage stress, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Whether you choose virtual or in-person care at our North Carolina locations, you’ll have access to both individual therapy sessions and group support, creating a comprehensive personalized treatment experience in a structured environment.

Co-occurring mental health disorders happen when someone experiences both a substance use disorder and mental health challenges at the same time. Research suggests that more than 40% of people with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring disorder. Common examples include:

• Depression or anxiety alongside alcohol abuse
• PTSD combined with substance abuse
• Bipolar disorder with drug abuse
• Attention deficit disorders with substance abuse

Co-occurring disorders often influence each other, which is why treating both simultaneously through our integrated approach leads to better outcomes. Many people find that addressing underlying mental health disorders is a crucial part of their recovery journey.

At Eleanor Health, we understand that your recovery process needs to work seamlessly with your daily life. That’s why we’ve created a unique approach that combines both virtual and in-person outpatient care. Your treatment team will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that offers the best of both worlds: the personal connection of face-to-face visits and the convenience of online sessions. This flexible approach not only enhances the quality of care but also makes treatment more accessible and affordable.
