Horizons
Our Story
What began with a handful of patients in a single clinic is now a robust program with the full support of one of the top research universities in the country and its innovative health care system. Now, 250 women are touched each year – more than 5,000 since the program started – by Horizons’ integrated prenatal care and substance use disorder treatment, trauma-informed recovery practices, inpatient and outpatient treatment, career counseling, housing assistance, case management, family therapy and a 5-star child development center for our clients’ children. The research conducted at Horizons by Dr. Hendrée Jones is used around the world as a model for treating women and children with substance use disorders. Many UNC students in psychiatry, obstetrics, social work and nursing now rotate through Horizons as part of their education.
The UNC Horizons Program receives federal and state substance abuse treatment funds through SAMHSA and the NC Division of Substance Abuse Services, and service reimbursements.
