First Step Services of North Carolina staff is passionate about helping individuals seeking alcohol and drug use counseling. To assist in the journey to recovery, our team of masters-level licensed and certified substance abuse counselors provides a variety of outpatient services.
Programs at First Step include Substance Use Disorder Intensive Outpatient treatment, early intervention counseling and education groups, individual, group, and family counseling to supporting people returning home from inpatient, residential, and hospital programs.
Our specialized programs meet most alcohol and drug use in outpatient treatment needs. Our patients are referred by families, friends, co-workers, attorneys, hospitals, inpatient treatment centers, MAT clinics, and many other sources. Other patients refer to themselves. We accept clients referred by clinics providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) such as suboxone. First Step assists clients who have dual disorder needs – mental health and substance use. First Step’s goal is to assist all our clients to achieve a future free from problems related to substance use.
First Step Services is in-network with all major insurance companies to assist in covering the cost of substance abuse intensive outpatient treatment and 3-hour groups of general outpatient counseling. Call us if you have any questions.
First Step Cary Services & Schedules
We are proud to offer assessments and individual counseling sessions both online and in-person. We also have online and in-person options for both our our Raleigh & Cary groups.
General Outpatient – Longer-Term Substance Use Treatment Program
If substance use has become more severe or more frequent a longer-term substance use treatment program is available. The longer-term treatment consists of approximately 9 to 12 weeks of group substance abuse counseling consisting of 12-20 group sessions.
IOP is proven to be a successful alternative to inpatient or residential treatment. When inpatient treatment is necessary, continuing treatment by attending IOP upon returning home creates the best outcomes for those patients. IOP participants live at home, continue with work or education as normal, and lead an otherwise normal lifestyle. IOP is cheaper than inpatient or residential treatment.
