Mental Health & Trauma Treatment in North Carolina
Dual-diagnosis Treatment for Young Men & Women
Recovery & Mental Health Care on the North Carolina Coast
Just off the beach of the Wilmington shore lies a special retreat. It’s a place where young men and women can trade the challenges and triggers of life for a new sense of peace.
Bad influences and toxic relationships are replaced with a loving, supportive community where everyone belongs. It’s the perfect place to find purpose, identity, and recovery from mental health struggles.
Welcome to Momentum Recovery.
Our Four-Phase Dual-Diagnosis Treatment Approach
Primary Mental Health & Trauma Care
During our primary treatment program, clients live in our gender-specific communities while receiving intensive behavioral health treatment 24/7. As they heal the root causes of their mental health issues, they’ll experience a new sense of hope and belonging.
Intensive Outpatient Programs
From there, clients step down to our intensive outpatient programs. In IOP, clients continue the important work of primary treatment and mental health recovery, with a schedule that allows them to begin exploring some autonomy. Intensive outpatient programs meet for several hours throughout the week, but allow clients to work a part-time job, go back to school, volunteer, or pursue new hobbies where appropriate.
Transitional Living
Our transitional living communities allow young adults to continue to enjoy the sense of belonging and trust that they have experienced even as they begin to transition into normal everyday life. Early recovery is a critical period and recovery housing provides an additional layer of support.
Change Management
During the Change Management phase, clients live independently away from the Momentum campus. However, they continue to work with their therapist and case manager and attend group therapy sessions as desired. It’s the final step towards living a healthy, independent life in recovery.
Dual-Diagnosis Treatment
Momentum Recovery takes a true dual-diagnosis approach to care. Many people who struggle with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma, are also misusing substances, and the two are often closely connected.
Because we're licensed for both mental health and substance use treatment, we treat them together. Our clinicians use proven therapies to uncover and heal the mental health and trauma beneath substance use, so clients aren't just managing symptoms.
Through it all, clients find a community where they can build trust, form healthy relationships, and start building a better, happier life.
Experiential Activities for Recovery
A vital element in each young adult’s treatment plan includes experiential activities. Not only do these activities have substantial therapeutic benefits; but also, they help clients learn how to have fun in recovery. Each activity is designed to teach new, healthy life skills and coping mechanisms that are the foundation for a successful life in recovery. Some of the experiential activities our young adults participate in include:
Swimming
Surfing
Fishing
Paddle Boarding
Canoeing
Softball
Finding Community in Wilmington, NC
The young people's recovery community in the Wilmington, NC, area is electric, offering the opportunity for fellowship, support, fun, and personal growth. Momentum Recovery is very active and involved in this community and encourages residents to form relationships with other people as they walk through the recovery process.
Many of our residents have the goal of completing college. We have several options for these individuals. Wilmington is home to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and Cape Fear Community College. Both of these options tend to be highly desirable places for our residents to continue working towards academic goals.
The Wilmington area also provides endless opportunities for our residents to have fun and enjoy the lives they are building. We believe that this is a crucial component in assisting young people to firmly establish lives of recovery. As such, we strive to create an environment and a lifestyle that is attractive and enjoyable.
