Situated among several healthcare facilities, Western Carolina Treatment Center, Inc offers treatment for opioid dependence, including heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, percocet, norco, vicodin, hydrocodone, and oxycontin. With convenient morning hours Monday to Friday from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m., and Saturday available by appointment, the facility makes treatment readily available to those in the community who need timely and consistent support. Medication-Assisted Treatment and Counseling Physicians prescribe methadone or buprenorphine to manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and block the effects of opioids. Alongside medication, licensed counselors require regular individual sessions and may assign group counseling based on the treatment plan. These sessions build on medication stability by focusing on relapse prevention, behavior change, and practical skills such as job readiness and daily routine management. Individualized Assessments and Supportive Services At Western Carolina Treatment Center, treatment is guided by a full medical intake that includes a physical exam, pregnancy testing when appropriate, blood work, and urine drug screening. Case managers coordinate HIV and AIDS counseling, crisis planning, discharge planning, and referrals to employment and vocational programs. Follow-ups are scheduled and patients are connected with external resources after discharge.
