For the 3rd consecutive year, Newsweek has ranked Wilmington Treatment Center as one of North Carolina’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers.

In 2022, we are ranked #1 in North Carolina and #7 in the US. Wilmington Treatment Center is North Carolina's premier substance abuse recovery hospital and rehabilitation center located in the beachside community of Wilmington, NC.

What began as a 22 bed hospital on one campus in 1984 has grown into a 260 bed hospital spanning 3 campuses - and we are still growing! We are a team of professionals dedicated to helping our patients begin their recovery from the disease of addiction.

Even though we are growing, we still maintain that feeling of a close knit community. We offer a fantastic comprehensive benefit package, a great team of co-workers as well as the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
