Crisis Care in a Safe, Supervised Setting

Gaston Crisis and Recovery Center offers short-term residential care for adults in mental health or substance-use-related crises. Open 24/7, the program provides a safe, semi-private environment where clients can stabilize under the care of psychiatrists, licensed counselors, and support staff. The average length of stay is 7 to 14 days, designed to relieve immediate distress and lay the groundwork for next steps in recovery.

Detox and Medications for Addiction Treatment

The center provides medical detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, cocaine, and methamphetamines. When needed, medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, disulfiram, or clonidine/lofexidine are used to ease withdrawal and reduce cravings. The program also accepts clients continuing medications for addiction treatment (MAT) prescribed elsewhere, ensuring continuity of care during crisis stabilization.

Therapies for Complex and Co-Occurring Needs

Treatment includes evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma counseling, relapse prevention, and twelve-step facilitation. Clients can participate in individual, group, and family sessions, with telehealth available when appropriate. The program is designed to support diverse adult populations, including veterans, pregnant or postpartum women, older adults, and people with co-occurring mental health conditions.

Transition Planning and Real-World Supports

From admission onward, staff focus on discharge planning and aftercare connections to help sustain recovery. Support may include peer mentoring, housing assistance, social services navigation, and employment counseling or training. Health education, tobacco cessation, and naloxone/overdose education are also offered. Additional services include case management, transportation assistance, and sign language access. Smoking and vaping are not permitted.

Quality and Trust

A

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
