Until recently, there has been little to no real help for addiction in Eastern North Carolina. In September 2017, that all changed when Hope Clinic launched our free*, comprehensive, outpatient opioid or alcohol addiction program.
Fees and Payment
Fees have never been charged for any services, medications, or supplies provided by Hope Clinic. The clinic relies solely on individual or organizational donations, as well as grant support. We are the only clinic in Pamlico County offering primary healthcare free of charge. We maintain that healthcare should be available at a level and quality sufficient to meet the basic needs of everyone regardless of race, religion, gender, immigration status, or income level.

Qualifying for assistance from North Carolina's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to North Carolina's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
