Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Designed to support individuals across Caroline County, this outpatient program offers counseling for all ages, adult substance-use groups, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and medication management. Services are available at its central Denton clinic, in schools, and through a Mobile Treatment Unit serving nearby towns. The program offers evening appointments for many services and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and a sliding fee scale. Care starts with an assessment, leading to an individualized plan. Services include individual and adult substance-use group counseling, plus nursing support like Vivitrol injections and Hepatitis C testing. Psychiatrists, counselors, social workers, and peer support specialists provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care. Prevention staff offer community education and NARCAN training. The program provides school-based therapy at Denton Elementary, Greensboro Elementary, Lockerman Middle, and North Caroline High School, with referrals for other schools. They link patients to community resources, recovery housing, and inpatient hospitalization when needed. Their DUI/DWI education groups meet legal requirements, and all students can access school-based services regardless of insurance.
