About The Carter Clinic - Whiteville

Where mental health care meets community support, The Carter Clinic helps individuals and families access support through office visits, home-based services, and telehealth. Conditions treated include depression, anxiety and panic disorders, bipolar disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and opioid use disorder.

Build Stability Through Coordination

Their clinicians pair evidence-based and holistic approaches with individual and family therapy, psychiatric assessments, medication management, peer support, and buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder. The Carter Clinic’s mobile unit reaches people through screening, supportive counseling, naloxone distribution, referrals, and recovery services. Its assertive community treatment (ACT) team staff also help coordinate medication, rehabilitation, housing, and budgeting, while state-funded case management connects adults to medical care, behavioral health services, domestic violence support, and community resources, with a first visit within 24 hours of referral. Primary care support broadens treatment, while a Level 4 residential program serves adolescent males who need intensive mental health care.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT

Supportive Medication for Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT

Opioids Medications

Methadone

(Dolophine®, Methadose®)

Reduces opioid cravings

Not Available

Methadone

Common Brand Names

Dolophine®, Methadose®

About this Medication

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, meaning it activates opioid receptors in the brain to produce effects like pain relief and euphoria. It is longer acting than many other opioids, making it useful in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.

How It Works

It reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings by occupying opioid receptors without causing intense highs. Because it is a full agonist, it must be used carefully to avoid overdose, but it is highly effective when taken as prescribed within a structured program.

Common Side Effects

Summary

Methadone can cause side effects such as drowsiness, nausea, constipation, sweating, and mood changes. In rare cases, it may lead to serious issues like slowed breathing or heart problems, so it should be used exactly as prescribed.

Physical Side Effects

Drowsiness or sedation

Lightheadedness or dizziness

Nausea or vomiting

Constipation

Sweating

Dry mouth

Itching or rash

Mental/Emotional Effects

Mood changes (e.g., feeling unusually anxious, depressed, or euphoric)

Confusion or difficulty concentrating

Serious (Less Common) Side Effects – Seek Medical Attention

Slowed or difficult breathing

Irregular heartbeat

Fainting or severe dizziness

Swelling of the face, lips, or throat (possible allergic reaction)

Hallucinations

Important Note

Because methadone is a full opioid agonist, it carries a risk of overdose, especially when taken with other depressants like alcohol or benzodiazepines. It should always be taken exactly as prescribed.

Naltrexone

(Vivitrol®, Revia®)

Blocks opioid effects

Not Available

Naltrexone

Common Brand Names

Vivitrol®, Revia®

About this Medication

Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks opioid receptors in the brain and prevents opioids from producing effects like euphoria or sedation. It is used to treat both opioid and alcohol use disorders, but does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal.

How It Works

It helps reduce cravings and the rewarding effects of opioids or alcohol, supporting long-term recovery. Because it blocks opioid effects, it should only be started after a person has fully detoxed from opioids to avoid triggering withdrawal.

Common Side Effects

Summary

Nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, trouble sleeping, joint or muscle pain, and in injectable form (Vivitrol®), injection site reactions such as swelling or redness.

Vivitrol® – Injectable Form

Injection site pain, redness, swelling, or itching

Nausea

Headache

Fatigue or low energy

Anxiety

Muscle or joint pain

Insomnia

Cold symptoms (e.g., runny nose, sore throat)

Revia – Oral Tablet Form

Dizziness

Anxiety or nervousness

Fatigue

Sleep disturbances (insomnia or vivid dreams)

Abdominal pain or cramps

Joint or muscle pain

Buprenorphine

(Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®)

Eases opioid withdrawal

Available

Buprenorphine

Common Brand Names

Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®

About this Medication

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder. It activates opioid receptors to reduce cravings and withdrawal but has a ceiling effect, meaning it produces less euphoria and respiratory depression than full opioids.

How It Works

Buprenorphine binds tightly to opioid receptors, blocking other opioids from attaching and reducing the risk of misuse. It's often combined with naloxone (as in Suboxone®) to discourage injection misuse and is available in daily or monthly forms.

Common Side Effects

Summary

Headache, nausea, constipation, sweating, insomnia, irritability, dizziness, and mouth numbness (for sublingual forms). Less common but serious risks include respiratory depression, especially when mixed with other sedatives.

Buprenorphine (Suboxone®, Zubsolv® – Sublingual Films/Tablets)

Headache

Nausea or vomiting

Constipation

Sweating

Insomnia

Dizziness or lightheadedness

Mouth numbness or irritation (from sublingual use)

Irritability or mood changes

Buprenorphine (Sublocade – Injectable Extended-Release)

Injection site pain, swelling, or redness (from injectable form)

Nausea

Fatigue

Increased liver enzymes (may show up on lab tests)

Sleep disturbances

Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.

Care Options

Levels of Care

Substance use and mental health issues can occur simultaneously or as primary conditions. Effective treatment explores how mental health conditions contribute to addiction, and vice-versa. Many rehabs treat substance use disorders and mental health conditions with personalized care plans.

Detox

Not Offered at This Center

Typically the initial stage of treatment for substance use, focusing on medically supervised management of withdrawal symptoms.

Residential

Not Offered at This Center

Residential programs for substance use and mental health with structured care and 24/7 monitoring. Treatment takes place on-site, with behavioral health professionals often providing care in group, individual, and family settings.

Sober Living

Not Offered at This Center

Transitional housing designed to support individuals recovering from substance use disorders offering a safe, supportive and structured environment for practicing long-term sobriety, while reintegrating back into daily living.

Intensive Outpatient Program

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.

Outpatient

Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.

Virtual Care

Therapy and treatment delivered online through video sessions, messaging, or phone calls, so you can get care from anywhere, on a schedule that works for you.

In-Home Care

Clinicians come to you, providing treatment and support in the privacy and comfort of your own home.

Licensed Primary Mental Health

Some primary care providers offer mental health diagnosis and treatment. This can prevent patients from developing more serious conditions.
