If you’re a psychology professional, medical doctor, treatment provider, hospital, or employer making a referral for treatment of a substance use disorder, mental health condition, or other unhealthy behaviors, then The Blanchard Institute in Charlotte, NC is the perfect choice. Additionally, we believe that it is best practice, if the client is willing, to collect information from you in order to use it effectively in the treatment and recovery process.

When you refer clients to us, you become part of the clinical team, as we believe in inclusion and collaboration in taking care of our clients. Referring professionals receive weekly updates on their clients from our team. We look forward to being your partner throughout each client’s recovery journey.

I have worked with Ward and The Blanchard Institute professionally for several years and referred several families for intervention and clinical services. Without fail these families have followed up with me expressing their gratitude for Ward and his team. I would recommend Ward and his team without hesitation for a family in need of support.

Why Refer Clients to The Blanchard Institute?

Dual Accreditation

The Blanchard Institute is dually accredited by CARF and the Joint Commission, making us one of the few “dually accredited” providers on the East Coast. We hold ourselves to the highest industry standards for comprehensive care and dedication to every individual and family that seeks our support.

Robust Family Support Program

We provide the most robust family support of any outpatient resource in the country. We lead weekly family support groups and monthly workshops, free of charge and open to the community, since these sessions help educate, support, and define each person’s role in recovery within the family system.

Dedicated Client Care Team

Each member of our staff brings their own unique set of skills and experiences that allow us to better relate to our clients and guide them on their journey to recovery. As a result, every client is provided with a professional family made up of on-site therapists, physicians, counselors, peer support specialists, and more.

Program Flexibility

We designed each of our programs to make you feel safe and comfortable through gender-specific groupings, and to give you flexibility with AM and PM options. This allows every client to receive the care they need, exactly when they need it, without too much interruption to their daily routine.

Referring Clients for Treatment

Every team member at The Blanchard Institute is committed to providing your client with the exceptional, comprehensive care they need to overcome chemical dependency and move toward a new and fulfilling life. Above all, we’ve placed high-quality, accessible care at the forefront of our practices for many years. We focus on chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health disorders, and address them with a full spectrum of family-focused services. As a culture, we view addiction and mental illness quite differently today than we did in the past. The Blanchard Institute was founded because we believe that treatment should look different, too.

When you refer clients to TBI, you become part of our team. We value our relationships with other professionals, and we look forward to working with you to get your client started down the road to recovery. We are Blue Cross Blue Shield Preferred Providers and Magellan Preferred Providers, and we accept a wide array of additional insurance plans for your convenience.

If you are suggesting addiction or mental health treatment for your client, please feel free to reach out to our team directly at any time. We would love to partner with you in helping your client return to a healthy life, and thus are happy to provide any additional information you need to feel confident in our partnership.
