College Doesn’t Have to Stop for You to Get Help
Central Piedmont students: Nova Transformations offers flexible addiction treatment that works around your class schedule. Stay enrolled. Stay on track. Get better.
Addiction Treatment That Works With Your CPCC Schedule
If you’re a Central Piedmont Community College student struggling with alcohol or drugs, you might think you have to choose: drop out to get help, or keep using and hope things get better on their own.
That’s a false choice. At Nova Transformations, we’ve designed our programs specifically to work around busy lives—including college students juggling classes, work, and family responsibilities. Our Matthews location is just minutes from CPCC’s Levine Campus, and our flexible scheduling means you can attend treatment without missing your classes.
You don’t have to put your education on hold to get the help you need.
We Understand What You’re Going Through
College is stressful. Academic pressure, financial stress, social anxiety, and the freedom of being on your own can make substance use feel like a solution. But when casual use becomes dependency, it starts affecting your grades, your relationships, and your future. The good news? Recovery is possible—and you can do it while staying in school.
Flexible Programs Designed for Students
We offer two main outpatient programs that can work around your CPCC class schedule:
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Perfect for students who need structured support while maintaining their course load.
- 3-4 sessions per week
- 3-4 hours per session
- Evening scheduling available
- 8-12 week program length
- Individual + group therapy
- Continue living at home
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
More intensive support for those who need it, with options to adjust class schedules.
- 5-6 days per week
- 5-6 hours per day
- Daytime programming
- Medical monitoring
- Psychiatric support
- May require schedule adjustments
For most CPCC students, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides the right balance of intensive treatment and schedule flexibility. You can attend classes during the day and treatment in the evening—never missing a lecture or falling behind on coursework.
If you need more intensive support, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) can often work with reduced course loads or online classes. CPCC’s academic advisors and Disability Services can help you adjust your schedule if needed.
What Your Week Could Look Like
Here’s an example of how a CPCC student might balance classes and IOP treatment:
This schedule allows you to attend all your CPCC classes, work part-time if needed, and receive intensive addiction treatment—all without having to drop out or take a semester off.
