About Amara Wellness
Amara Wellness provides whole person outpatient treatment for adults dealing with substance use disorders (SUD) or mental issues. They may assist you in overcoming dual diagnosis as well. This is when someone simultaneously has both SUD and mental issues.
The facility is located in Mecklenburg County in Charlotte, North Carolina. They sit near major thoroughfares like I-85 and public transportation routes. This makes them easily accessible to all. Folks in Gatson and Cabarrus counties can also benefit from their outpatient services.
What’s great about them is they tailor their services to support people living in extreme poverty. They’re one of the top providers serving people living 150% below the federal poverty level. This is folks with no resources to seek help for SUD or mental health issues. It includes both the insured and uninsured.
They run a walk-in medication management clinic and can handle residents with high-risk or complex needs. That is if you’ve acute SUD or mental issues, they can help you manage that.
Their SUD treatment options include substance abuse intensive outpatient programs (SAIOP) and substance abuse comprehensive outpatient programs (SACOT). SACOT focuses on stabilization and intensive support to help you overcome SUD. It is highly structured and as such suitable if you're dealing with chronic SUD. It may include ambulatory detox, medical monitoring or case management to address complex situations. This is in addition to individual and group therapy sessions alongside educational classes focusing on skill building.
SAIOP is a relatively less intensive treatment than SACOT. It is suitable if you've completed detox or inpatient rehab and are moving towards a more independent recovery. The facility also offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) to support folks with opioid use disorders (OUD). This technique uses FDA approved meds alongside counseling to deliver whole person care. They prescribe Suboxone to help you manage withdrawal and support lasting recovery.
Other outpatient programs include DWI services with 20/40-hour sessions and driver’s license restoration.
