Frequently asked questions.

What types of addiction do you treat?

We provide treatment for a wide range of substance use disorders, including alcohol use disorder, opioid addiction (heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers), stimulants (cocaine, methamphetamine), benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Ativan), and polysubstance use. Our programs also support clients through co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance dependency.

Do I need medical detox before starting treatment?

Medical detox is often the first step for individuals with physical dependency on substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. It allows your body to safely clear the substance under medical supervision while managing withdrawal symptoms with appropriate medications. During admissions, we'll assess whether medical detox is necessary and build a treatment plan accordingly.

How long does treatment last?

The length of treatment varies depending on individual needs and insurance coverage. Medical detox is a short-term, medically supervised process. Residential treatment typically involves a structured period of care in a live-in setting. Our team works closely with each client to adjust timelines based on goals and recovery milestones.

What is medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and do you offer it?

Yes. We provide medication-assisted treatment using FDA-approved medications such as Suboxone, Subutex, and Vivitrol. MAT is most commonly used for opioid and alcohol addiction to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and support recovery when paired with counseling and therapy. We do not use methadone at our treatment center.

Will my insurance cover treatment?

Hickory Grove Recovery works with commercial insurance. Our admissions team can quickly verify your specific benefits and help you understand what's covered before you begin care. We strive to make treatment as accessible as possible.

What happens after I finish treatment?

Recovery doesn't stop when treatment ends. That's why we provide aftercare support, including relapse prevention planning, individual or group therapy options, and referrals to ongoing mental health providers or recovery resources. Our goal is to help you build a long-term support system and stay connected after formal treatment ends.

Do you offer treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions?

Yes. We provide dual-diagnosis care for individuals dealing with both substance use and mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. Treating both at the same time is key to lasting recovery.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. You can call us or request an insurance verification. From there, our admissions team will guide you through the next steps — whether that's an assessment, a detox referral, or enrollment in the appropriate program.
