The Dilworth Center treats substance use along with the underlying emotional struggles that so often come with them, helping people rebuild their lives from the inside out. They specialize exclusively in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for adults, young adults, and adolescents. That means every bit of their expertise and heart goes into making this level of care as effective—and life-changing—as possible.
Dilworth Center’s approach to treatment is rooted in intentional rigor and deep respect for the 12-Step path. They ask clients to come ready to commit and be willing to go deep. Their groups are deliberately small so that voices can be heard and real change can begin. They lean hard into 12-Step facilitation, making it central in guiding recovery, while weaving in evidence-based therapies, relapse prevention, and mental health support.
In Charlotte’s historic Dilworth neighborhood, the Dilworth Center is a beautifully-restored 100 year old historic home, and it has a quiet charm that immediately puts people at ease. It’s close enough to the city for convenience, yet peaceful enough to feel like a getaway. Outside, the wide front porch has become a place where clients and staff gather in rocking chairs and find connection.
At weekly alumni meetings, there’s always laughter and honest conversation, as past clients come together to share what life in recovery really looks like. For those who crave continued growth, the center offers an advanced relapse prevention program, where small groups of just 4–5 people meet weekly for 16 sessions to work through a powerful, hands-on workbook.
