Wilmington Treatment Center - Outpatient Treatment
Overview
Longstanding outpatient addiction treatment program offering intensive outpatient care (IOP), specialized support groups for women, and recovery planning that begins on the first day of treatment.

Flexible scheduling for everyday life
To support clients balancing recovery with daily responsibilities, the program offers IOP in the morning from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and in the evening from 6 -9 p.m. Clients attend sessions four days per week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for a total of 12 hours each week. The program typically lasts from 6-8 weeks for a total of 32 sessions. The facility is accessible by bus and is near local supportive housing.
Recovery planning begins on day one
The IOP supports clients continuing their care after residential treatment or partial hospitalization (PHP), as well as individuals whose needs can be safely met without inpatient treatment. Continuity of care is prioritized, with discharge planning beginning on the first day and clients leaving the program with an in-depth continuing care plan. This approach helps prepare clients for long-term recovery.
A structured clinical approach to recovery
Treatment combines the 12-Step recovery model with the Matrix IOP Model. Core programming focuses on coping skills, stress management, and relapse prevention. Each client's substance use history guides their treatment, and care is delivered by licensed clinical addiction specialists and certified substance abuse counselors who are trained in the Matrix model.
Ongoing support during and after treatment
Weekly aftercare groups are available after clients have completed IOP treatment. A women's-specific therapy group is also available to provide additional support for female clients. Family counseling and peer-based recovery support are also offered. These services provide opportunities to connect in ways that support individual recovery.
Community-based care with long-term support
The program has offered community-based outpatient treatment in Wilmington, NC, for more than 20 years. In addition to treating substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions, clients can access case management, employment counseling, peer support, and connection to community resources.

Quality and Trust
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.
The Joint Commission
The Joint Commission is one of the most trusted names in healthcare. If a rehab center has this accreditation, it means they meet strong national standards for safety, treatment quality, and staff training.
Learn moreHow 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.
