Recovery, Wellness & Mental Health
This category stays deliberately short and deliberately nonprofit- or academic-anchored: most of what surfaces in a general search for Triangle addiction or wellness services is commercial marketing, which doesn't belong on a civic resource list. The organizations below are long-standing nonprofit or academic institutions, not treatment providers with something to sell.
Chapel Hill Zen Center
Chapel Hill Zen Center is an established Soto Zen Buddhist meditation community offering regular sitting practice, retreats, and teacher-led instruction — a genuine lineage-based meditation center, not a drop-in yoga-studio meditation class.
Duke Integrative Medicine
Duke Integrative Medicine, part of Duke Health, is an academic integrative medicine center combining conventional medical care with evidence-informed mind-body practices — a distinct clinical department inside a major academic medical center, not a standalone wellness spa.
Healing Transitions
Healing Transitions, in Raleigh, operates separate men's and women's campuses offering free, non-medical detox and long-term peer-support recovery regardless of a person's ability to pay or insurance status — a “come as many times as it takes” model built specifically for people the standard insurance-billed treatment system doesn't reach.
