Non-Medical Detox Program

Where Recovery Begins

At The Healing Place of New Hanover County (THPNC), we understand the journey to recovery starts with a single step. Our Detox Program is the first stride towards reclaiming your life from the grips of addiction. We believe in providing a comprehensive pathway to recovery, which is why we offer our detox services at absolutely no cost to our clients. Our goal is to remove as many barriers to recovery as possible, ensuring that anyone who seeks help can find it with us.

Our Approach

The primary aim of our detox program is to detoxify and stabilize individuals from drugs or alcohol. Over an average stay of 5-7 days, our guests undergo a crucial transformation, laying the groundwork for a sustainable recovery. Our non-medical detox center is operational 24/7, offering a compassionate place to seek help.

A key component of our program is preparation for the next stage of recovery. As clients go through the detox program, they also start to recognize a shared problem (substance use disorder) and a shared solution among their peers (long-term recovery), fostering a sense of community and understanding that is vital for continuous, sustained recovery.
