Our Primary Purpose - To provide inpatient treatment, psychiatric stabilization and medical detoxification for individuals with substance use and other co-occuring psychiatric diagnoses to prepare for ongoing community-based treatment and recovery. Operated by the NC Department of Health and Human Services - Division of State Operated Healthcare Facilities. LAKE's charges, including the "discounted cash charge," are not reflective of the amount that most patients are asked to pay. LAKE does not deny anyone care based on ability to pay. All patients' charges for treatment services at LAKE are based on a sliding scale according to ability to pay, and in some cases patients may pay nothing.
