About us
Dedicated to helping people with drug use problems, McLeod Addictive Disease Center is a reputable addiction treatment center situated in Charlotte, North Carolina, that was founded in 1969. The foundation of the center is the conviction that each person struggling with addiction should be treated with dignity and respect. In order to address each client’s specific requirements, McLeod Addictive Disease Center offers comprehensive treatment, intervention, education, and support services.
With a core emphasis on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and inpatient residential care, the institution provides a comprehensive spectrum of drug addiction treatment programs. These programs use evidence-based techniques and comprehensive treatment to assist people in achieving and maintaining long-term sobriety.
FDA-approved drugs like buprenorphine and methadone are used at the McLeod Addictive Disease Center’s Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program to help people manage the symptoms of drug or alcohol addiction. This program offers an evidence-based, clinically motivated approach to rehabilitation by integrating behavioral therapy and counseling. Enrolled clients in the MAT program usually stay involved for a minimum of one year, which helps them stabilize and increases their chances of maintaining long-term sobriety.
The McLeod Addictive Disease Center provides both conventional Outpatient Programs (OP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for patients seeking outpatient therapy. The IOP offers a more intense, long-term alternative for people who want more assistance, while the OP is intended for short-term therapy. Individual therapy sessions, addiction education, and therapeutic group counseling are all provided to clients in these programs. To help them on their recovery path, they are also referred to other community services, such as 12-step organizations like AA and NA.
One of the main features of the facility is its inpatient residential treatment program, which gives patients a thorough and individualized approach to healing. With more than 40 years of expertise, the program is qualified to handle the complicated requirements of those battling addiction. During their stay, which may last up to 28 days, clients get family therapy, group and individual counseling, addiction education, and round-the-clock professional care. Planning for aftercare is another component of the program that guarantees a seamless return to regular life.
A specific residential DWI program is also provided by McLeod Addictive Disease Center, acting as a treatment option for drug-abusing people instead of jail time. Usually lasting seven to thirty days, this program offers organized assistance and intervention to assist clients in addressing the root reasons of their addiction and moving toward a better future.
In general, McLeod Addictive Disease Center provides a comprehensive continuum of treatment that attends to the physical, emotional, and psychological components of rehabilitation with the goal of assisting people in taking back their lives from the hold of addiction.

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.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
