McLeod Center continues to provide all services, many of which are available via telehealth (individual and group sessions via simultaneous video and audio). McLeod Center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and some private insurance for these telehealth services. If you do not have behavioral health coverage, a state program may be available to help you. Please contact us either by phone at (704) 332-9001 or by email to contact@mcleodcenter.com to discuss any payment questions you may have.

As of 6/26/2020, NC Governor Roy Cooper has mandated that face masks must be worn in public spaces.

Founded by a Charlotte pediatrician, we currently serve an average of 3,900 patients daily who have a primary diagnosis of substance use disorder in 9 locations across Piedmont and Western North Carolina.

• Residential Treatment: Length of stay is generally 28 days, but can be tailored to satisfy individual client needs that incorporate education on the disease of addiction with individual, group and family counseling. Residential Treatment may be followed by SAIOP, Aftercare, or referral to an outside agency for long-term sober living environment. The cost of the program may be covered by Area funding, self-pay, and some Insurance companies. We are licensed for 36 bed capacity, and currently manage 24 for capacity.

• Residential DWI: McLeod Center’s Residential DWI Program is a treatment alternative to incarceration for DWI charges. In consideration of substance use history and legal implications of the client’s DWI, the length of stay may be anywhere from 7 to 30 days. While clients are in the Residential DWI Program, they also have the option of completing a DWI Assessment with a state-certified DWI assessor for additional $100 fee.
