About The Blanchard Institute Charlotte
The Blanchard Institute in Charlotte looks at the whole picture when someone is dealing with both addiction and mental health concerns. Instead of just treating symptoms, the focus here is on the person behind them. By offering everything from outpatient detox to day programs to long-term recovery support, Blanchard makes sure nobody has to navigate those transitions between levels of care on their own.
Invite Loved Ones to Be Part of the Solution
While many programs treat the individual in a vacuum, Blanchard was built on the belief that for healing to stick, the entire sphere of influence has to be involved. By bringing families into everything from the initial assessment to free weekly workshops and success planning, they help turn loved ones from observers into powerful allies.

Whether they’re doing yoga or just eating lunch outside under the pergola, the whole space is designed to help people feel human.
Walk into a Future with a Team Behind Them
