Caring Services | Executive Director

Caring Services provides a holistic continuum of care for people with substance use disorders, providing a much-needed bridge between the devastation of addiction and a successful return to family and society as productive community members. 

Today, Caring Services owns and operates ten transitional houses on one campus in the High Point community, which can house 82 individuals. Caring Services is recognized in the community and throughout the state as having an innovative and comprehensive approach to providing services based on best practices. Services include transitional housing (a 6-24 month program), supported living through recovery apartments, a substance abuse intensive outpatient program, outpatient treatment, case management services, life skills development, veteran-specific services through the Vet Safety Net, individual and group counseling, DWI services, a food pantry, and a clothing donations closet.
