Outpatient Addiction Treatment for Union County, North Carolina
Get help for drug or alcohol addiction without leaving your community. Nova Transformations offers flexible PHP and IOP programs just 15 minutes from Monroe-so you can recover while keeping your job, your family, and your life.
Union County Is in Crisis
In 2023, Union County experienced a 166% increase in opioid overdose deaths compared to the previous year, with 32 lives lost to drug overdoses. Fentanyl is now in nearly everything on the street. If you or someone you love is using, the time to get help is now-before it’s too late. Call (704) 997-3500.
If you’re searching for addiction treatment in Union County, you’re not alone. Thousands of families across Monroe, Indian Trail, Weddington, Waxhaw, and surrounding communities are dealing with the same thing right now. The opioid crisis has hit Union County hard, and the need for accessible, effective treatment has never been greater.
The challenge? Union County has limited outpatient treatment options. Most people have to travel to Charlotte or beyond to find quality care. That’s why Nova Transformations-located in Matthews, just 15 minutes from Monroe-has become the treatment center of choice for Union County families seeking help close to home.
We offer the kind of flexible, evidence-based treatment that works for real life: intensive enough to make a difference, but designed so you can keep working, caring for your family, and staying connected to your community while you recover.
The Crisis in Union County
These aren’t just statistics-they’re sons and daughters, parents, friends, and neighbors. The Union County Sheriff’s Office has called fentanyl “everywhere” and emphasized that no community is immune. The good news? Recovery is possible, and treatment works.
Why Union County Families Choose Nova Transformations
Union County residents have options for addiction treatment. But here’s why more families are choosing Nova Transformations:
We’re Close to Home
Located in Matthews at 3326 Siskey Pkwy, we’re just a 15-minute drive from Monroe via US-74. You don’t have to travel to Charlotte or beyond for quality care. Stay connected to your support system while getting the treatment you need.
We Offer Real Flexibility
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) meets just 3 times per week for 3 hours, with morning and evening options. Most of our Union County clients continue working while attending treatment. Recovery doesn’t have to mean putting your life on hold.
We Specialize in Dual Diagnosis
Many people struggling with addiction also have underlying mental health conditions-depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma. We treat both together, because addressing only the addiction without treating the mental health component leads to higher relapse rates.
We Accept Your Insurance

Substances We Treat
What to Expect at Nova Transformations
Getting help for addiction can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never been through treatment before. Here’s what the process looks like:
1. Free Assessment
Call us at (704) 997-3500. We’ll ask about your situation-what substances you’re using, how long, what your home and work situation looks like. This helps us determine the right level of care. Everything is confidential.
2. Insurance Verification
We’ll check your insurance benefits and explain exactly what’s covered. Most plans cover addiction treatment, and we work with all major insurers. No surprises.
3. Detox Coordination (If Needed)
If you need medical detox before starting outpatient treatment, we’ll help coordinate it. Daymark Recovery Services in Monroe offers local detox services. We’ll ensure a seamless transition to our program after detox.
4. Begin Treatment
You’ll start PHP or IOP based on your assessment. Treatment includes individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric services, and skill-building-all designed to help you understand your addiction and build a life where you don’t need substances.
5. Continuing Care
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. We’ll help you build a support network, connect with local meetings, and develop a plan for long-term success.
