About Carolina Dunes
Carolina Dunes Behavioral Health on Mercantile Drive Northeast in Leland, North Carolina, has mental health in-patient behavioral and mental health treatment for adolescents, adults, and seniors.
Their inpatient behavioral treatment includes psychiatric and addiction treatment for individuals who are there voluntarily or who may be placed there involuntarily due to risk to self or others. They are available for assessments and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Teen Residential Therapy
The adolescent inpatient program is a therapeutic residential therapy program designed for youth between the ages of 12-17. Evidence-based treatment philosophies are used to help youth cope with the stresses of life and any mental health challenges, including substance abuse and addiction issues.
School is an important part of the daily structured program. I love their occupational, physical, and recreational therapies. Art, music, and expressive therapies are a part of the program that helps youth gain confidence, learn to express themselves, cope with past trauma, and set goals for a positive future.
Adults and Older Adults
There are acute treatment programs for adults and for those who are 50+ years of age. Psychiatric and behavioral programs start with assessment and evaluation by psychiatric professionals. I noticed that medication management and administration, group therapy, occupational and recreational therapy are a part of the program to help patients manage symptoms and stabilize their emotions.
Aftercare and Resources
While in acute inpatient care, there’ll be resources and referrals put in place so when patients leave the hospital, they’ll have support already set up to help them manage their mental health and recovery on a long-term basis.
Carolina Dunes accepts most insurance plans including Medicaid and Medicare. They also have help available if you need to apply for financial assistance due to lack of insurance.
