PORT HEALTH | Nags Head Clinic

“The Port Health Nags Head has been a blessing for many.. there is always bad with the good, but in general they have helped many..including myself, it's not only a place for recovery, or medications, but there is some great counselors that I can attest have helped me work thru many issues over the years, and they are not just there if you have a mental issue, or are in to help a drug addiction..but they also offer great groups that can help women (and men)in toxic relationships, help for using life skills in situations that you cannot do alone, there their for grief counseling.. the groups are for those who sign up weekly and if needed one on one counseling sessions are available.. its not always been easy, and if your new and the 1st experience isn't what you like, remember that's why there is more than 1 person to help you, everyone has different personalities so don't give up or be angry, they also want to help you find the right person that you will get the best experience and help from... I appreciate the front office staff.. Mrs Norma, and others are friendly and helpful..the Dr is wonderful and will do his best if you do need medication to get you on the correct ones to help your condition and help you if you are able to get off as well.. the entire staff have been a blessing for me.. thru the good and bad times.. I recommend you call 1st, for if new you will need to do a intake which is very thorough. I also want to point out they are Covid careful and it's always clean and sanitized as a immune compromised patient I appreciate that. Thanks to all I've known who have helped me over the years. Your top stars to me.”

“My name is Mike Adams and I completed the Intensive Outpatient Program at PORT and am now in the regular Outpatient Program. I found the counselors to be among the most competent and caring in the business. PORT is not a for profit clinic and therefore is not inclined to let money interfere with one's quest for a clean life. I have been to the "best" and worst of rehabs and PORT is where I felt the best. Highly recommend them but it is up to each patient to utilize the tools they are taught. Also, following the rules is the patients job, not the counselors. If you are reprimanded and are honest with yourself you will realize you have no one to blame but yourself.”

“I have attended groups there for a long time. I used to take their services for granted and blame others for my failures but then I grew up. I understand today that I get out of something exactly what I put into it. The more effort on my part, the greater the reward. I am very pleased with my experience... I have been a Port patient in Wilmington and Nags Head, and have found the Nags Head Staff to be very dedicated and caring. The counseling and educational services will totally change your life IF you want it changed. Openmindedness and willingness are indispensable. The teacher will appear when the student is ready to learn... I have had nothing but positive experiences at the Nags Head office. I feel that the negative reviews are retaliatory and posted by a few who, perhaps, were either not ready to change or are not being honest with themselves about their part in whatever situation that led to their dismissal... 5 star service but success depends on the patient's attitude and level of participation.”

“The intensive outpatient groups as well as one-on-one counseling here have changed my life. I think it's important to let the people offering free help know that they've helped. Jessica Z. Is an amazing counselor. I just want everyone to know how much they helped with my substance abuse and mental health problems. I apply the things I've learned from one on one counseling to the groups to my everyday life! 😊”
