FAQ

How much does counseling cost in Craven County?

Cost depends on insurance, Medicaid eligibility, the provider's fee schedule, and whether a sliding-scale option is available. Ask about the intake fee, copay, deductible, and cancellation policy before scheduling.

What should I look for when choosing a mental health provider?

Check whether the provider treats your concern, accepts your insurance, offers the appointment format you need, and has crisis or after-hours procedures. For substance-use or developmental-disability needs, confirm those services are provided directly.

When should I use a crisis line instead of scheduling routine counseling?

Use 988 for immediate emotional distress or thoughts of suicide, and call 911 or go to an emergency department for imminent danger, serious injury, or a medical emergency. Routine counseling is appropriate for ongoing concerns that are not an immediate safety risk.

Can one agency help with both mental health and substance-use concerns?

Some agencies provide integrated services for both concerns. Universal MH/DD/SAS specifically lists mental health and substance abuse services, while New Bern Family Services lists mental health and substance-use assistance alongside broader family and social-service programs.
