Adult
Intensive Outpatient Treatment
This intensive and effective substance use disorder treatment program
consists of a phased two-level approach.
Let us help you simplify your search for addiction and co-occurring mental health treatment.
At Dilworth Center
Overcoming substance use disorders requires a comprehensive and supportive approach. Our Adult Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Dilworth Center in Charlotte provides the tools and guidance needed for lasting recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction.
This program follows a structured, phased approach focused on relapse prevention and mental health support. Located conveniently in the heart of Charlotte, our center is dedicated to helping you manage real-world challenges and take control of your recovery journey.
“When I first came to Dilworth Center”
“I knew for sure that I was powerless over alcohol and my life was unmanageable, and that was all I needed to start. I kept coming, listening, telling the truth, reading, and slowly the things that didn’t make sense at the start began to come into focus as I applied them to my daily life.”
— Eleanor, Dilworth Center Alumnus
Family Support
To help create a healthier support system outside the program, we offer a family support program to help loved ones understand and navigate the recovery journey. This program takes place on parallel paths with the patient’s addiction treatment.
Through educational workshops, support groups, and counseling, families gain tools to rebuild trust, improve communication, and support long-term recovery. By actively participating, loved ones can create a more stable and understanding environment, reinforcing the foundation for lasting change.
Prioritizing Recovery Without Putting Life on Hold
At Dilworth Center, we believe that putting recovery first is essential—but that doesn’t mean putting life on pause. Our structured night and weekend treatment options allow individuals to fully commit to their recovery while continuing to meet work, school, and personal responsibilities. It’s a focused, results-driven approach designed to minimize disruption without compromising the quality or intensity of care.
Treatment Modalities
We approach mental health and addiction on parallel paths, with attention to each person’s unique journey.
12-Step Facilitation
12-Step Facilitation Therapy offers a structured approach to addiction recovery by encouraging individuals to engage with a supportive community and develop healthy coping strategies.
Group Therapy
By fostering a community for patients to bond with peers facing similar struggles, they can express their feelings and learn from multiple perspectives outside their own experiences.
Individual Therapy
Our patients can set up individual therapy sessions to develop treatment goals and to focus on their unique challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
A psychotherapeutic technique designed to help patients identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to their addiction, allowing them to develop healthier coping mechanisms for long-term sobriety.
Yoga and Mindfulness
Yoga and mindfulness therapy helps patients focus on the present moment, reduce stress, and support long-term recovery and sobriety through techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, and physical postures.
Equine Therapy
Equine therapy utilizes the bond between humans and horses to foster emotional growth. Through activities like grooming and leading, participants develop skills such as trust and empathy.
Motivational Interviewing
Dilworth Center’s counselors incorporate motivational interviewing as an effective therapeutic tool, helping individuals explore their readiness for change.
Trauma Trained
(CCTP)
Dilworth Center’s counselors are trauma-trained professionals who approach care with a deep understanding of how past experiences impact recovery.
