About us
A Helping Hand of Wilmington is a private rehabilitation center that treats a variety of conditions, such as co-occurring mental health and substance abuse problems, alcoholism, drug addiction, opioid dependence, and dual diagnosis. It is situated in Wilmington, North Carolina. A Helping Hand offers a holistic approach that treats the psychological and physical components of addiction and mental health issues, with an emphasis on complete, tailored treatment.
To meet the individual requirements of each client, their interdisciplinary team of skilled experts provides a variety of evidence-based treatments, including motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Personalized care is guaranteed by this holistic treatment strategy, which also offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction sufferers, family therapy, and individual and group counseling. To lessen withdrawal symptoms, lessen cravings, and encourage long-term recovery, MAT combines behavioral therapy with FDA-approved drugs like methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone.
A Helping Hand of Wilmington provides specialized treatment programs that concurrently address mental health and drug use concerns for those who are living with co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis. When both disorders are treated concurrently, patients get the support they need to overcome their addiction and take care of their mental health, which improves their chances of success in their recovery process.
For patients who need some flexibility in their treatment plan, there are outpatient options accessible. In order to assist clients reintegrate into society after treatment, these programs include regular therapy sessions, continuous mental health support, relapse prevention planning, and life skills training. Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are available for individuals in need of more intense care. These programs provide organized therapy without requiring residential care.
A Helping Hand is dedicated to provide kind and efficient therapy to people and families dealing with mental health issues and addiction. The hospital takes great satisfaction in offering a therapeutic, encouraging atmosphere where patients may recover and reclaim their lives.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
