Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment
Using both legal medications and illegal substances in order to maintain an addiction is substance abuse. If you are taking more of your prescription, or earlier than the prescribed time interval between doses than is directed you may be abusing that medication. If you are obtaining legal medications illegally in or near Wilmington, NC, you may be suffering from substance abuse.
Illegal substances can become addictive after a single use and lead rapidly to substance abuse. The professionals at Port Health Services - Stepping Stone Manor are here to help.
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction treatment helps people addicted to opioids in North Carolina curb their drug use. The selection of a treatment setting depends on the severity of the addiction. Mild cases are usually treated in outpatient facilities; severe cases need hospitalization or treatment in a residential facility. Doctors use medicines along with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat the addiction. The treatment includes medication, counseling and therapy. It can also include group counseling, individual counseling and family counseling.
Dual-Diagnosis
Conditions such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder are part of mental illness. This may occur that opioid abuse and vice versa are induced by mental illness. Diagnosing a concurrent diagnosis or co-occurring condition at Port Health Services - Stepping Stone Manor is essential to understand the addiction better.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Detox, Drug Rehab, Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Outpatient, Residential, with additional therapies available as listed below.
Detox is a drug rehab process that begins before the actual drug rehab treatment. It is used to remove any residual toxins left in your body (and brain) after using drugs, and it is used with the intent to help you or your loved one complete drug rehab.
If you are addicted to opiates like heroin, methadone, or prescription painkillers, you will detox with medication. This is because the withdrawal symptoms are often more intense and uncomfortable for an opiate addict than for someone who has abused or is dependent on other drugs, like cocaine.
Inpatient programs are intensive regimes that require individuals suffering from serious addictions to admit themselves into a controlled environment. Inpatient programs in North Carolina generally span over 28 days to six months. The first step in an inpatient program is medically assisted detox. Doctors and addiction specialists at Port Health Services - Stepping Stone Manor monitor the individual’s vital signs as the drugs leave their system. Some inpatient rehab programs also provide counseling for family members to provide encouragement and emotional support. In inpatient programs, patients have access to 24-hour medical supervision.
To assist with alcohol or opioid abuse, or a co-occurring condition, Port Health Services - Stepping Stone Manor offers an outpatient treatment program. For their rehabilitation and other services, the North Carolina patient will go to the treatment center, yet return home every night. After most of the program is completed, the level of mandatory participation reduces.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.

Wilmington, North Carolina Addiction and Treatment
North Carolina ranks 29th in the nation for overall substance abuse. Many of the drugs abused in the state are illicit, and many of these are opioids. Prescription opioids are readily available due to the high rates of medical workers prescribing them. The number of prescriptions has increased tenfold since the 1980's. Opioid overdoses are the most common type of death in North Carolina.
Wilmington, a coastal city in southeastern NC, offers a variety of outdoor activities, cultural attractions, and a vibrant arts and entertainment scene. With its mild climate and peaceful environment, Wilmington could be an ideal place for drug rehab. However, New Hanover County saw a 357% increase in prescription opioid poisoning deaths from 2000 to 2015, and in 2024 YTD, fentanyl/fentanyl analogs were involved in 50% of opioid overdose ED visits.
