Our staff works with other professionals, employers, school personnel, clergy, courts, and law enforcement in offering consultation and direction regarding specific cases.
Clients are expected to attend 12-step meetings as a part of their treatment. We believe this helps the recovering person build a supportive network during their sobriety. Anuvia also provides a place for many Charlotte-Mecklenburg 12-step groups in Spanish and English during the week, making them accessible to our clients.
Anuvia counselors are ready to help individuals, families, and employers address substance abuse and dependency, motivate those affected to seek help, and provide education to all interested parties.
