ACDM Assessment and Counseling of Guilford

ACDM Assessment and Counseling of Guilford is a SAMHSA-registered addiction-treatment facility located at Greensboro, NC. The facility's programming is outpatient (Outpatient), not residential. Patient-level evaluation of this facility should distinguish three considerations: state licensure status, voluntary accreditation (CARF or Joint Commission), and clinical-framework alignment with current ASAM Criteria — each of which is independently verifiable.

Care levels at ACDM Assessment and Counseling of Guilford

ACDM Assessment and Counseling of Guilford is an outpatient-focused program (Outpatient) — patients live at home or in sober living and attend treatment sessions. This level of care is clinically appropriate for mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, or for patients stepping down from residential. Operational prerequisite for admission: documented clinical assessment establishing medical necessity for the specific level of care ACDM Assessment and Counseling of Guilford provides. The ASAM Criteria 4e framework is the benchmark standard for this assessment and is referenced in most major payer medical-necessity documents.

Insurance and payment

Payment and insurance specifics for ACDM Assessment and Counseling of Guilford are not fully documented in the SAMHSA registry — a direct admissions conversation is the reliable way to confirm what forms of payment are accepted and at what network-contract level. Benefit verification should be obtained in writing prior to admission and should document: network contract status for the specific insurance product, prior authorization requirements and approved day-count, applicable cost-sharing structure, and out-of-network secondary coverage (where applicable). Proceeding on verbal VOB creates material risk of post-admission benefit dispute.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Young adults, Adult women, Pregnant/postpartum women. Specialty-program verification requires review of: (a) dedicated specialty-track programming hours per week; (b) specialty-credentialed clinical staffing (e.g., LCSW with trauma specialization, perinatal-nurse certification, adolescent-development training); (c) specialty-specific clinical assessment protocols; (d) specialty-specific outcome measurement. Marketing designation alone is insufficient for clinical confidence.

Before you call

Pre-admission due-diligence for ACDM Assessment and Counseling of Guilford: (1) ASAM 4e level-of-care documentation matching clinical assessment; (2) written Verification of Benefits specific to insurance product; (3) MAT policy documentation (particularly buprenorphine and methadone continuation protocols for opioid use disorder patients); (4) accreditation verification via CARF or Joint Commission provider-search tools; (5) state licensing status confirmed via NC behavioral-health regulator inspection records. If the clinical situation involves opioid use disorder, confirm explicitly whether ACDM Assessment and Counseling of Guilford offers medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone.
