What is Tailored Care Management
Tailored Care Management is a new service offered at Appalachian Community Services. With a focus on the "whole person", Tailored Care Management helps members manage all aspects of their healthcare needs, including behavioral health, physical health, pharmacy, and unmet health-related resource needs.
How Can Tailored Care Management Help
Your Care Manager is your sole contact to coordinate and manage all of
your healthcare needs.
Receive individualized support and aid family/caregivers to address areas
that may affect health and well-being, such as finding appropriate resources
for housing, employment, food insecurity, and more.
Who is Eligible
Eligible members with serious mental illness (SMI), serious emotional
disturbance (SED), severe substance use disorders (SUDs), I/DDs, and TBIs
are eligible for Tailored Care Management.
How Do I Enroll
If you are eligible and haven’t selected a Care Management Agency, you were
automatically assigned to one.
If you are assigned to another Care Management Agency and want to switch
to Carolina Outreach's Care Management Agency, contact your Local
Management Entity/Managed Care Organization (LME/MCO).

DWI Assessment and Treatment
These services assist adults who have been cited for driving while impaired. It is recommended by most attorneys that clients complete a NC DWI assessment prior to their first court appearance, a review of the client’s driving record, a standardized test, and a face-to-face clinical interview.
The assessment determines the level of substance abuse treatment in which the client can enroll with Carolina Outreach:
Level 1: Alcohol and Drug Education Traffic School (ADETS)
For the first-time offender (16 hours of education).
Level 2: Short Term
For offenders who have completed ADETS, had a BAC over .14, refused the breathalyzer, or meet criteria for substance abuse (20 hours of treatment over 30 days).
Level 3: Long Term
For offenders who meet criteria for substance dependence, or who have completed a level 2 program (40 hours of treatment over 60 days).
Level 4: Intensive Outpatient Treatment
For offenders who meet criteria for substance dependence (with or without physiological dependence), or who have completed a level 3 program (90 days).
Level 5: Inpatient Treatment
While Carolina Outreach does not provide this level of treatment, we can make such a referral.
When the education or treatment program is completed, Carolina Outreach notifies the DMV, the last step before a client’s driving privileges are restored.
We provide DWI services at the following locations: Fayetteville, Smithfield, and Wilson.
