About Dilworth Center
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.
Walk in Broken, Rebuild with Purpose
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.
Come for the Care, Stay for the Porch Therapy
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.
Keep the Spark of Recovery Alive with Aftercare
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.

Your Care Options
Specializations
Adolescents
Teens receive the treatment they need for mental health disorders and addiction, with the added support of educational and vocational services.
Alcohol
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.
Co-Occurring Disorders
A person with multiple mental health diagnoses, such as addiction and depression, has co-occurring disorders also called dual diagnosis.
Cocaine
Cocaine is a stimulant with euphoric effects. Agitation, muscle ticks, psychosis, and heart issues are common symptoms of cocaine abuse.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is the excessive and repetitive use of substances, despite harmful consequences to a person's life, health, and relationships.
Executive Program
Addiction and mental health treatment for executives typically involves high discretion, greater technology access, and more private, 1-on-1 care.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Who We Treat
Older Adults
Addiction and mental health treatment caters to adults 55+ and the age-specific challenges that can come with recovery, wellness, and overall happiness.
Adolescents
Teens receive the treatment they need for mental health disorders and addiction, with the added support of educational and vocational services.
Executives
Executive treatment programs typically directly support the needs of people who manage businesses and may provide flexible schedules and office space to allow work during treatment.
Young Adults
Emerging adults ages 18-25 receive treatment catered to the unique challenges of early adulthood, like college, risky behaviors, and vocational struggles.
Men and Women
Men and women attend treatment for addiction in a co-ed setting, going to therapy groups together to share experiences, struggles, and successes.
Midlife Adults
For adults ages 40+, treatment shifts to focus on the unique challenges, blocks, and risk factors of their age group, and unites peers in a similar community.
Mild Disabilities
Adults with mild physical or intellectual disabilities receive treatment catered to their specific needs in a safe and clinically supportive environment.
Treatment Services
Intensive Family Program
Some rehabs offer intensive programs for loved ones. Group and individual therapy sessions help everyone heal, and improve family dynamics.
Intensive Outpatient Program
In an IOP, patients live at home or a sober living, but attend treatment typically 9-15 hours a week. Most programs include talk therapy, support groups, and other methods.
Outpatient
During outpatient rehab, patients attend a structured treatment program while continuing to live at home.
Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Family Involvement
Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.
Twelve Step
Incorporating spirituality, community, and responsibility, 12-Step philosophies prioritize the guidance of a Higher Power and a continuation of 12-Step practices.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Meditation & Mindfulness
A practiced state of mind that brings patients to the present. It allows them to become fully aware of themselves, their feelings, and the present moment.
Trauma-Specific Therapy
This form of talk therapy addresses any childhood trauma at the root of a patient's current diagnosis.
Equine Therapy
Guided interactions with trained horses, their handler, and a therapist can help patients improve their self-esteem, trust, empathy, and social skills.
Experiential Therapy
With this approach, patients heal by doing. Therapists help patients process difficult emotions to speak, using guided activities like art or dance.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Relapse Prevention Counseling
Relapse prevention counselors teach patients to recognize the signs of relapse and reduce their risk.

Alcohol

Hallucinogenic drugs—like LSD—cause euphoria and increased sensory experiences. When abused, they can lead to depression and psychosis.

Methamphetamine, or meth, increases energy, agitation, and paranoia. Long-term use can result in severe physical and mental health issues.
