Mecklenburg County Tracks Overdose and Access
Mecklenburg County’s Overdose Data to Action program uses local data to support overdose prevention and response efforts. Its services include post-overdose outreach and connections to resources such as medications for opioid use disorder and naloxone.
Alliance Health’s substance use disorder recovery services provide information about covered behavioral health services, connections to care, and crisis support for eligible members. Alliance Health operates independently from Banyan Treatment Centers.
Additional information about overdose trends is available through North Carolina’s overdose epidemic data, while the CDC’s DOSE-SYS system tracks suspected nonfatal drug overdoses treated in emergency departments.
The County Health Rankings profile for Mecklenburg County provides broader information about health outcomes, access to care, and other community health factors. These sources provide population-level information about Mecklenburg County and should not be used to determine an individual’s treatment needs without a clinical assessment.
Addiction Treatment Options Near Matthews
Matthews residents can access substance use treatment services throughout the greater Charlotte area and neighboring communities. Available programs differ in the levels of care and services they provide.
The Blanchard Institute has a Charlotte location offering outpatient services, while Anuvia Prevention & Recovery Center provides multiple substance use treatment services in the Charlotte area. McLeod Centers for Wellbeing also operates locations in the region, and Pavana Treatment has a location in Monroe.
When comparing treatment programs, consider the specific level of care available at each location, whether the program can address individual clinical needs, insurance participation, and current availability. A clinical assessment can also help identify which level of treatment may be appropriate.
Understanding Medical Detox and Residential Treatment
The appropriate level of addiction treatment depends on individual clinical needs. Factors such as the substance being used, frequency and duration of use, withdrawal risk, medical history, previous treatment, and co-occurring mental health concerns can all be considered during an assessment.
Medical detox provides short-term clinical support during withdrawal. Treatment may include monitoring withdrawal symptoms, addressing medical concerns, and helping patients transition to an appropriate next level of care. Not everyone with a substance use disorder requires medical detox.
Residential addiction treatment provides a structured, live-in setting where patients can participate in therapy, peer support, relapse-prevention planning, and other recovery-focused services. Depending on individual needs, residential treatment may follow detox or serve as another step within a broader treatment plan.
A clinical assessment can help determine whether medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient care, or another level of support is appropriate.
For severe withdrawal symptoms, seizures, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, or a suspected overdose, call 911 for emergency medical assistance.
Banyan Treatment Options for Matthews Residents
Banyan Treatment Centers North Carolina at Lake Norman is located at 291 Commercial Drive in Mooresville, approximately 38 miles from Matthews. Drive times are often around 45 to 55 minutes, although traffic and the specific starting point can affect travel time.
The Lake Norman facility primarily provides substance use treatment for adults, including medical detox and residential addiction treatment. The appropriate level of care depends on individual needs and the results of a clinical assessment.
Banyan can also address co-occurring mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, or sleep difficulties, when they are part of an individual’s substance use treatment plan. The Lake Norman facility is not a standalone primary mental health treatment program.
Matthews residents considering treatment in Mooresville can speak with admissions about available programs, current admission requirements, and whether the services provided at Lake Norman may align with their needs.
Preparing for Admissions
Before beginning treatment, admissions staff may ask about current substance use, the time of last use, withdrawal symptoms, previous overdoses, medical conditions, medications, and previous treatment. Accurate information helps the clinical team determine the appropriate level of care.
Matthews residents considering treatment at the Lake Norman facility can also ask about admission timing, what documents or personal items to bring, transportation arrangements, and communication with loved ones during treatment.
Review insurance coverage before admission when possible. Banyan’s insurance verification service can help review benefits, network status, prior authorization requirements, and potential out-of-pocket responsibilities. Coverage and costs vary by individual plan, provider network, level of care, and other policy requirements.
A loved one can also contact the admissions team with questions and relevant information about the person seeking treatment.

Questions to Ask When Comparing Treatment Programs
When comparing addiction treatment options, consider the services available at the specific location and how the program determines the appropriate level of care. Three useful questions to ask are:
What levels of care are available at this location?
Confirm whether the facility provides medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient services, or other levels of care that may be relevant to the individual’s needs.
How are treatment recommendations made?
Ask how the clinical team evaluates substance use, withdrawal risk, medical needs, previous treatment, and co-occurring mental health concerns when recommending care.
What happens after the current level of treatment ends?
Ask how continuing care is planned and whether the program helps connect patients with appropriate follow-up services after discharge.
How Loved Ones Can Support the Treatment Process
Loved ones can play a helpful role when someone is considering addiction treatment. They may be able to provide information about changes they have observed, previous treatment, recent substance use, medications, medical concerns, or past overdoses.
Family members can also contact an admissions team to ask questions about available programs, what information may be needed for an assessment, and what to expect during the admissions process. The person entering treatment will still participate in the clinical assessment and provide consent when required.
When appropriate, family involvement may continue during treatment through education, communication with the care team, or participation in family-focused services. The specific level of involvement depends on the treatment program, the patient’s preferences, and applicable privacy requirements.
If there is an immediate medical emergency or suspected overdose, call 911.
Mecklenburg County Resources for Matthews Residents
Matthews residents can access public and community-based behavioral health resources throughout Mecklenburg County. The Mecklenburg County Post-Overdose Response Team provides follow-up and connections to treatment and support services for eligible individuals after an overdose.
Alliance Health also provides information about substance use disorder services, member access, and crisis resources for eligible residents. These services operate independently from Banyan Treatment Centers.
For an urgent emotional or behavioral health crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For a suspected overdose or another immediate medical emergency, call 911.
