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.

Give a Racing Mind Permission to Slow Down

Every detail here, from the specific colors on the walls to the rocking chairs on the porch, is about helping a racing mind slow down. It feels like a quiet spot where someone can catch their breath. 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

For an eight-month stretch, people can keep checking in with their therapists while also meeting up with fellow alumni at weekly events. Clients leave treatment feeling like they have a safety net that makes sure nobody has to figure out daily life alone.

Bring Chosen Family into the Fold
Bring Chosen Family into the Fold
Whether it is biological or chosen family, involving a support system from day one helps create a shared language of healing. Through free workshops and resiliency groups, loved ones learn the science behind their loved one’s struggle and trade frustration for empathy.
Master the Internal Response to High-Stress Moments
Master the Internal Response to High-Stress Moments
Biosound therapy works like a physical reset for a nervous system stuck in high-stress mode. By combining gentle vibrations with calming sound frequencies, this experience helps the body shift out of tension and into deep relaxation within minutes. Clients can get real-time biofeedback and learn how to stabilize their own response to stress.
Navigate Detox in Total Privacy
Navigate Detox in Total Privacy
Sometimes, the best place to heal is at home. By providing 24/7 nursing access and psychiatric oversight, the outpatient detox program allows individuals to safely navigate withdrawal without losing the comfort and privacy of their own space. To ensure safety, a dedicated support person must accompany them to collect medications and is encouraged to remain by their side throughout the process before beginning treatment.
Support the Entire System through Mindful Eating
Support the Entire System through Mindful Eating
Eating well at Blanchard is about giving the brain the tools it needs to stay sober. When the body gets the right nutrients, it starts repairing the nervous system damage that causes mood swings and brain fog. By stabilizing blood sugar and brain chemistry, these meals help intense cravings, making it much easier to feel good and stay on track.

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

Reduces opioid cravings
Not Available

Naltrexone

(Vivitrol®, Revia®)
Blocks opioid effects

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.
