About Family First Community Servs LLC
Family First Community Services operates an outpatient addiction treatment center in Charlotte, serving diverse populations from adolescents to seniors. The CARF-accredited facility provides intensive outpatient and standard outpatient programs for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders since 2006.
Family First Community Services operates a comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment center in Charlotte's Latrobe Drive corridor, providing recovery programs for individuals and families affected by substance abuse. Since 2006, this CARF-accredited facility has served the Charlotte recovery community through specialized outpatient care designed for ongoing recovery support rather than acute crisis intervention.
The recovery center offers two primary levels of outpatient care: intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and standard outpatient programs. These structured programs allow individuals to maintain work, school, and family commitments while receiving consistent addiction treatment support. Both programs address substance abuse alongside co-occurring mental health conditions through dual diagnosis treatment approaches.
Treatment at Family First Community Services incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core therapeutic method, helping clients develop practical skills for long-term recovery success. The facility provides 24/7 crisis management with live clinician on-call support, ensuring recovery community members have access to professional guidance during challenging moments. Comprehensive aftercare planning, discharge coordination, and ongoing recovery support services help clients transition successfully between treatment phases.
The center welcomes a broad spectrum of individuals seeking recovery support, including adolescents, young adults, veterans, seniors, and court-ordered clients. Family First Community Services accepts major insurance carriers including Cigna, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna, alongside Medicaid and self-pay options. The facility's accessibility via Charlotte Area Transit Systems and flexible weekday scheduling (8:30 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday) makes ongoing outpatient treatment manageable for working adults and students in recovery.
Outpatient Program Options
Family First Community Services structures its addiction treatment around two core outpatient program levels designed for different phases of the recovery journey. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides more frequent therapeutic contact for individuals transitioning from higher levels of care or requiring structured support while maintaining daily responsibilities.
Standard outpatient programs offer ongoing recovery maintenance for clients who have progressed through more intensive phases of treatment. Both program types integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help participants develop practical coping strategies for triggers, cravings, and challenging situations that arise in recovery.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-occurring Disorder Treatment
The recovery center specializes in treating individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, recognizing that many people in recovery face interconnected challenges. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both conditions simultaneously rather than treating them as separate issues.
This integrated approach helps clients understand how mental health symptoms and substance use patterns influence each other, leading to more effective long-term recovery outcomes. The facility's clinical team coordinates care to ensure both psychiatric and addiction treatment needs receive appropriate attention throughout the recovery process.
Crisis Support and Aftercare Services
Family First Community Services provides 24/7 crisis management through live clinician on-call services, offering recovery community members professional support during difficult moments outside regular business hours. This safety net helps prevent relapses during vulnerable periods when traditional office-based support isn't available.
Comprehensive aftercare planning begins early in treatment, with discharge coordination and ongoing recovery support services designed to maintain progress after formal program completion. These continuing care services help clients navigate the transition from structured treatment back to independent recovery management.
Insurance and Accessibility
The facility accepts major insurance carriers including Cigna, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and Humana, alongside Medicaid coverage and self-pay arrangements. This broad insurance acceptance makes outpatient addiction treatment accessible to Charlotte residents with various coverage types.
Located on Charlotte Area Transit Systems routes, Family First Community Services ensures transportation barriers don't prevent recovery participation. Weekday operating hours from 8:30 AM to 5 PM accommodate working adults and students who need flexible scheduling for ongoing outpatient care.
