Our Mission
Recovery Balance, LLC.’s mission is to restore families, strengthen individuals, and build healthier communities by empowering, educating, and encouraging every person to take an active role in recovery.
We believe substance use and behavioral health challenges affect more than the individual—they impact families, relationships, workplaces, and entire communities. For this reason, our approach to recovery goes beyond treating symptoms. We focus on helping individuals and families understand the challenges they face, recognize their strengths, and identify the resources and skills needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
Through our Balanced Recovery Approach, Recovery Balance encourages each family member to become an active participant in the recovery process. We help individuals identify the missing pieces within their personal lives, relationships, and support systems while developing healthier communication, coping skills, boundaries, accountability, and problem-solving strategies.
Education is at the heart of our work. We believe that when individuals and families have the knowledge and tools to understand substance use and behavioral health, they are better equipped to make informed decisions, support one another, and navigate the recovery journey with confidence.
We also recognize that recovery is strengthened through connection. Recovery Balance works to promote collaboration among individuals, families, treatment providers, and community partners to create stronger support networks and improve access to meaningful resources. By strengthening individuals and families, we ultimately strengthen the community as a whole.

Whether someone is beginning to address substance use, working toward sustained recovery, navigating DWI-related requirements, or supporting a loved one, we strive to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment.
At Recovery Balance, we believe recovery is possible when people are given the opportunity to learn, grow, heal, and participate in their own transformation. Our goal is to help individuals and families move from surviving to thriving by creating a foundation built on education, accountability, connection, resilience, and balance.

Addiction Treatment
Counseling is an essential part of drug abuse and addiction treatment for many people seeking balanced recovery.

For those in need of support, NC recovery services in Forest City, NC, provide invaluable resources for those recovering from any addiction.
DWI Assessments
What is an assessment? A DWI Substance use assessment is required of everyone convicted of Driving While Impaired in North Carolina. You cannot receive a Limited Driving Privilege without a DWI Assessment. DWI and Substance Use assessments and groups can only be conducted by facilities licensed by the state of North Carolina to meet the requirements to restore your driver's license. These assessments play a crucial role in promoting balanced recovery and are part of the NC recovery services available in Forest City, NC.
The cost of all NC DWI Assessments is $100.00. The State legislature establishes the $100 fee. No agency in the state is ever allowed by law to charge more or less than the lawful $100 fee. We were informed that the legislature is considering changing this fee to $150.00 in 2025.
If you would like to schedule an appointment with one of our counselors for your DWI Assessment, don't hesitate to get in touch with our office. We offer same-day assessments and walk-ins. To reduce wait time, you may call ahead for your balanced recovery session.
To ensure accuracy, please bring a copy of your current NC Driving Record (available online at NCDOT.GOV, or you may find your attorney or insurance company can provide you with a non-certified copy). We can pull this document for you. You will need to pay the NCDMV fee of $15.99. Please also bring your blood alcohol concentration reading (available at the court clerk, or your attorney may have a copy). We can pull this for you if you do not have it.
Your $100.00 assessment fee is due at the time of your appointment. Our offices accept card and cash payments and money orders. No checks, please.
Alcohol/Drug Assessments
An Alcohol/Drug Assessment, where no DWI was involved, does not include the same state-required components (Driving record & Standardized tool). If you are seeking balanced recovery through an alcohol or drug assessment that is not in conjunction with a DWI, we can provide that assessment at a lower cost to you. Rest assured, you will still receive a thorough evaluation as part of our NC recovery services in Forest City, NC.
If you would like to schedule an appointment with one of our counselors for your Non-DWI Alcohol/Drug Assessment, please reach out to the office located most conveniently near you.
Your $100.00 assessment fee is due at the time of your appointment.

DWI Sessions
($20.00 / Hour)
"DWI Classes", often referred to as balanced recovery programs, are considered outpatient treatment options. Our objective is to assist you in successfully completing the treatment plan designed specifically for you, ensuring compliance with state requirements for relicensing.

We will consider your work schedule, payment arrangements, and court dates to help you meet your requirements in a timely manner. We are here to support you!

Our 20-hour program may not be completed in less than 30 days, and our 40-hour program may not be completed in less than 60 days. We offer morning, evening, and Saturday sessions to accommodate your schedule.
We adhere to all state guidelines to ensure your E508 is accepted by the NCDHHS and reported to the DMV as quickly as possible, aligning with our commitment to effective NC recovery services in Forest City, NC.
