About this facility
Located in the scenic town of Wilkesboro, Stepping Stone of Wilkes helps individuals recover from opioid use through medication-supported treatment and therapy. Known for patient-centered care, the center offers counseling, life skills classes, and support in a peaceful, mountain setting—just steps from the town’s rich history and natural beauty.
