Our Community Support Team service at Carolina Community Support Services, Inc. is a community-based service consisting of mental health and substance abuse rehabilitation services designed to assist patients in achieving their recovery and rehabilitative goals.

Our Community Support Team (CST) is intended for adults 21 years of age and older who have complex and extensive treatment needs. The approach involves a structured, face-to-face scheduled therapeutic intervention and treatment plan in Durham, North Carolina, to provide support and guidance to our clients who meet the specified criteria.

Our services include case management, crisis intervention, patient assessment, patient education, psychotherapy services, and more.

What Is the Community Support Team?

Do you need daily or frequent mental health support but want to stay at home instead of entering a treatment facility? CST may be the right option for you. This service offers hands-on, in-person interventions that support independence, reduce hospitalizations, and improve overall quality of life. The Community Support Team is a team-based mental health service designed to help adults with complex mental health or substance use needs remain stable in the community. Instead of requiring hospitalization or inpatient treatment, CST delivers care directly where the person lives.

Core Features and Benefits

We support adults 21 and older who have had multiple hospitalizations, repeated crisis episodes, or difficulty engaging in traditional outpatient care. Our team meets with you regularly in your home or community setting to help you navigate daily challenges, learn new skills, and access critical resources that support your well-being.
