  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

This condition occurs when an individual is dependent on more than one substance—such as alcohol and opioids, or benzodiazepines and stimulants—at the same time.

At Changing Tides, we specialize in treating complex substance use cases, including cross-addiction. Our clinical team creates individualized treatment plans that address multiple substances and underlying triggers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Changing Tides is proud to be an in-network provider.

You can call us directly at 252-715-3905 or complete our online form. Our admissions team will verify your insurance and explain your benefits.

Changing Tides treats a wide range of substance use disorders, many of which are covered under Sentara Health Plans (formerly Optima Health) rehab plans. Whether you’re struggling with one substance or multiple, our team is equipped to help you safely detox and recover through evidence-based, compassionate care.

Common addictions we treat include:

  • Alcohol addiction
  • Opioid addiction (such as heroin, oxycodone, or fentanyl)
  • Benzodiazepine addiction (like Xanax, Valium, or Klonopin)
  • Stimulant addiction (including cocaine, methamphetamine, or Adderall)
  • Prescription drug misuse
  • Marijuana dependency
  • Cross-addiction or polysubstance use

Each client receives an individualized treatment plan that takes into account their history, medical needs, and recovery goals. Our programs offer therapeutic support, structured routines, and optional housing—all in a peaceful, beachside setting in Kitty Hawk, NC.

Changing Tides offers two structured outpatient programs: Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP). While both are classified as outpatient care, clients have the option to stay in our comfortable, on-site housing near the beach in Kitty Hawk, NC—creating a supportive environment for recovery without the constraints of a hospital setting.

They often cover all or part of medically necessary outpatient treatment, including PHP and IOP, as part of their behavioral health benefits. Coverage typically falls under tiers that include substance use disorder services.

Here’s what coverage might look like:

  • Employer-sponsored plans often require a co-pay or coinsurance between 20% and 40% after meeting your deductible.
  • Individual plans may offer lower coinsurance, ranging from 5% to 30%.
  • If you’re on a catastrophic plan, you may be eligible for full coverage for medically necessary treatment.
  • In most cases, Sentara requires that services like PHP be deemed medically necessary to qualify for reimbursement.

Our admissions team can help you determine what your plan covers and walk you through the cost breakdown—including any co-pays or deductible responsibilities—so you can focus on healing, not paperwork.

If you suffer from a severe substance use disorder, you might require intensive treatment. Your Sentara rehab insurance will often pay some of your accommodation costs. However, unless you have the most comprehensive plan offered, you’ll need to contribute towards your accommodation costs.
