Welcome to Drug Education and Human Development Centers (DEHDC), the education, treatment, and advocacy program for the addicted.   For more than eighteen years since its founding in 1997, DEHDC  a non-profit, community-based 501©3 charitable organization has offered a broad spectrum of education, treatment, and advocacy services to adolescents and adults who suffer from  addictions.  DEHDC’s core services include:

 

Substance Abuse Treatment

In realizing that an addiction is a bio/psycho/spiritual disease, DEHDC’s high quality comprehensive outpatient substance abuse treatment addresses the physical, mental, interpersonal, and spiritual needs of the addicted person.  Using a continuum of care mode, clients are treated within an appropriate level of care as determined by application of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Client Placement Criteria for the Treatment of Psychoactive Substance Use Disorders.  DEHDC’s Regular Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment program (ROP-SA) is an ASAM Level I nonresidential treatment program with designated addiction professionals providing professionally directed substance abuse treatment.  On a case by case basis as needed, clients may be referred to inpatient treatment, longer term residential care or halfway house.     more . . .

 

Cognitive Behavioral Intervention

With the underlying philosophy that thinking (an internal behavior) controls overt actions (external behavior), DEHDC’s Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBI) program addresses the thinking and actions of individuals and offenders who suffer from addictions.   DEHDC’s  CBI program teaches individuals and offenders new skills and new ways of thinking that lead to changes in their addictive behavior and actions.  more . . .

 

Case Management

DEHDC’s Case Management Service is a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for community resources and services.  This process addresses the addicted individual’s and his family's life needs for the purpose of promoting quality, cost-effective outcomes.  DEHDC’s Case Managers provide links, per the individual’s risks and needs, to education, employment, transportation, family counseling, parenting, health/nutrition, child care, housing, and other community resources for the purpose of addressing co-occurring problems of the addicted individual.     more . . .

DEHDC’s Offender Employment Program is designed to help the unemployed, recovered individual reenter the labor market.  The program is intended to prevent and reduce negative effects on mental health associated with unemployment and job-seeking stress while promoting high-quality reemployment.  DEHDC’s Offender Employment Program in collaboration with the North Carolina Employment Security Commission assists offenders with employment services and other community-based opportunities.     more . . .
