About Integrated Care of Greater Hickory
Integrated Care of Greater Hickory offers outpatient substance use treatment in Morehead City, NC, serving a wide range of populations including veterans, adolescents, and individuals with co-occurring disorders. With CARF accreditation, peer support, and recovery housing connections, the center supports people building lasting recovery in Carteret County and across North Carolina.
Integrated Care of Greater Hickory is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 3820 Bridges Street Suite A in Morehead City, North Carolina. Serving Carteret County and the broader North Carolina recovery community, the center specializes in outpatient addiction treatment for individuals navigating co-occurring disorders, trauma, and PTSD alongside substance use challenges. For people evaluating longer-term recovery options rather than acute crisis care, this center positions itself as a structured, community-connected resource in coastal NC.
The center's primary level of care is an Outpatient Program, which includes Substance Abuse Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment (SACOT) as noted on their official program pages. This outpatient model allows clients to engage in structured addiction treatment while maintaining their daily lives — a practical fit for those transitioning from higher levels of care or building an aftercare plan from the ground up. The program operates Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
Two distinct therapeutic methods anchor the clinical work at Integrated Care of Greater Hickory: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. CBT is a well-established approach for reshaping thought patterns connected to substance use, while EMDR directly addresses trauma — a meaningful combination for clients whose recovery intersects with PTSD or adverse life experiences. Medication management is also available on-site, rounding out a clinically grounded outpatient experience.
The center serves a notably broad population, including adolescents, young adults ages 18 to 25, veterans, pregnant women, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those referred through the court system. Aftercare support takes concrete form through peer support services and recovery housing connections — resources that matter deeply to anyone building a sober life beyond the treatment room. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, making access realistic for a wide range of clients across North Carolina.
Outpatient Recovery Program in Morehead City, NC
Integrated Care of Greater Hickory delivers outpatient substance abuse treatment from its Morehead City location, serving clients across Carteret County and North Carolina. The center's outpatient program — which includes Substance Abuse Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment (SACOT) — is structured for people who need consistent, professional recovery support without stepping away from their home, work, or family responsibilities.
Operating Monday through Friday, the program fits into the real rhythms of people in recovery. Whether someone is stepping down from a residential treatment stay or entering structured care for the first time, the outpatient model here bridges clinical treatment and everyday life — a critical design feature for sustainable, long-term recovery.
Trauma-Informed Treatment: CBT and EMDR for Co-Occurring Disorders
Many people entering addiction treatment carry unaddressed trauma alongside their substance use challenges. Integrated Care of Greater Hickory directly addresses this intersection through two confirmed therapeutic methods: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). CBT helps clients identify and shift the thought patterns that fuel addictive behavior, while EMDR specifically targets trauma and PTSD — conditions explicitly treated at this facility.
This dual clinical focus makes the center a meaningful option for individuals with co-occurring disorders, where mental health and substance use treatment must move forward together rather than in isolation. Medication management is also available on-site, supporting a fuller continuum of care within the outpatient setting.
Aftercare, Peer Support, and Recovery Housing Connections
Recovery doesn't end when a session does. Integrated Care of Greater Hickory extends its support through peer services and recovery housing — two aftercare resources that are confirmed components of the program. Peer support connects clients with others who have lived experience in recovery, creating accountability and community that clinical sessions alone cannot replicate.
Recovery housing connections provide a practical bridge for clients who need a stable, sober-living environment as they build independence. For the Sober Nation audience — people invested in the long arc of recovery, not just the first steps — these aftercare elements reflect a center that thinks beyond the treatment room.
Who Integrated Care of Greater Hickory Serves
The center's outpatient rehab program is built to serve a wide cross-section of the recovery community. Confirmed populations include adolescents, young adults ages 18 to 25, veterans, pregnant women, seniors and older adults, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those referred through the court system. TRICARE acceptance makes the program particularly accessible to active-duty military and veterans navigating substance abuse treatment.
Payment options span Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay — a range that removes common financial barriers to entering an outpatient program. CARF accreditation provides families and referral partners with independent confirmation that the center meets recognized standards in substance use treatment. Services are conducted in English and the facility is located in Morehead City, NC, at 3820 Bridges Street Suite A.
