New Waters Recovery Detox Center

Bringing Critical Addiction Care to North Carolina

When TBV’s healthcare arm looked at the addiction‑treatment space, we saw both a crisis and an opportunity. The U.S. is battling record levels of substance use disorder, with more than 20 million people affected. Of the millions of people struggling, only 10% of those affected received treatment in 2019, due in part to a lack of accessible treatment options.[1] North Carolina alone has lost nearly 30,000 residents to overdoses in the last two decades. An average of 12 North Carolina residents died of an overdose each day in 2023.[2]

High‑quality treatment facilities are scarce, yet demand has never been greater.

New Waters Recovery: The First of Its Kind in North Carolina

New-Waters-Recovery-Detox-Center-slider2

Enter New Waters Recovery, a TBV‑funded detox and mental‑health assessment center in Raleigh. New Waters opened in September 2022. It is the first integrative wellness center in North Carolina to offer medical detox and a clinical mental‑health assessment under one roof. It is also the first luxury center catering to high-net-worth families in the region, created as a resource for those who value privacy and comfort.

High‑touch care in an intimate setting:

New Waters manages admissions to ensure a low client-to-staff ratio and truly personalized support.

Clients receive unique and specialized protocols to manage withdrawal alongside IV therapy, massage, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, and infrared‑sauna sessions, plus chef‑prepared meals and fitness facilities.

Comprehensive assessment:

A 7 to 14-day diagnostic program combines psycho‑diagnostic testing, psychiatric evaluation, and medication stabilization. Personalized aftercare plans ensure a smooth transition to long‑term treatment.

New Waters is Joint Commission-accredited and works with most private insurance carriers.

A Prime Location in the Raleigh-Durham Region

Raleigh-Durham is one of the fastest growing regions in the United States, recognized for its strong economy and expanding innovation sector. Anchored by three major research universities, North Carolina State University, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the area attracts technology startups, life sciences companies, and research-focused businesses.

With Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill forming a vibrant network of opportunity, the region offers a deep talent pool and a business-friendly climate. Located only two and a half hours from Charlotte, it provides convenient access to North Carolina’s largest metropolitan market, making it a prime destination for growth and investment.

New Waters Recovery was built under a mile from Duke Raleigh Hospital, a convenient location near restaurants, banks, shopping, and other businesses, and close to several upscale neighborhoods.

The Need for Medical Detox in Addiction Treatment

Medical detox is a critical first step in overcoming addiction, providing a safe and structured environment for individuals to begin recovery.

When a person stops using drugs or alcohol, the body undergoes withdrawal, which can be physically and emotionally intense, and in some cases, life-threatening. Medical detox ensures that this process is closely monitored by healthcare professionals who can manage symptoms, prevent complications, and provide round-the-clock support.

By using evidence-based treatments and, when appropriate, medication-assisted therapy, medical detox helps stabilize the body and mind, making the transition into further treatment much safer and more effective. Beyond physical stabilization, medical detox also lays the foundation for lasting recovery by addressing immediate health needs and preparing clients for the psychological and behavioral work that follows. For many, it represents the difference between relapse and long-term sobriety and is a vital first step toward reclaiming health, clarity, and control over life.

A Life Saving Investment

This pioneering facility fills a glaring gap in the market. A luxury detox treatment center, New Waters is a premium price point and delivers on TBV’s promise of cash flow, asset appreciation, and tax advantages. The project demonstrates that compassionate healthcare can also be a compelling investment.

The Next Opportunity: Residential Treatment With Continuity of Care

With the detox and assessment center thriving, TBV is helping New Waters expand. The New Waters Recovery North Carolina Residential Treatment Center Fund, LP, will finance a residential program on a rezoned property in Fuquay‑Varina, just 38 minutes from the Raleigh detox center, as well as an outpatient clinic located in Raleigh in close proximity to the detox facility. Clients will complete a 7–10‑day detox in Raleigh and then move seamlessly into the residential program before transitioning to outpatient, covering all facets of addiction healthcare and capturing business that is currently sent to competitors.
