Burke Recovery

What Burke Recovery does

Burke Recovery, legally the Burke Council on Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency, Inc. (BCACD), is a nonprofit substance abuse treatment and prevention organization headquartered in Morganton, North Carolina, operating continuously since 1966. The organization serves approximately 85,000 residents of Burke County across three integrated service lines: (1) outpatient programs encompassing clinical assessments, individual and group counseling, and treatment planning for both adults and adolescents (ages 6–18), delivered using evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy; (2) the Flynn Recovery Community, a 90-day residential treatment program for adult males located at a second Morganton facility; and (3) community prevention and harm reduction services including the Burke Substance Abuse Network coalition, Drug-Free Burke initiative, Drug-Free Youth Coalition, school-based programs (SCIP, APS, Project Toward No Drugs, Botvin LifeSkills Training), Narcan training and distribution, fentanyl and xylazine test strips, and medication disposal kits.

The technology foundation is clinical rather than digital: standardized assessment instruments (DSM-5, ASAM, ASI, AUDIT, DAST, SASSI, YASI) support diagnostics, while no API, SDK, mobile application, or AI/ML capability is offered. The business model is nonprofit in structure, with revenue sourced from individual and corporate donations, government grants, and program-specific funding streams such as the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) and the federal SYNAR Distribution program; pricing is not publicly disclosed and treatment costs are likely covered through insurance, government funding, grants, and sliding-scale arrangements. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on school referrals, healthcare provider referrals, coalition networking, and direct community outreach rather than traditional marketing channels. Burke Recovery is governed by an eight-member board of community leaders, has a headcount of seven employees, and has no parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investors.
