Georgia-based Charter Medical Corp. has four psychiatric hospitals in the state, making it North Carolina's largest private provider of drug-and alcohol-abuse treatment for the state's estimated 214,000 alcoholics and 19,500 drug addicts.

Abstract:
Alcoholics Anonymous of North Carolina began with the first meeting in Shelby. Following that Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, Durham, Greensboro, High Point, Fayetteville, and Statesville started chapters of the group with further organizations planned throughout the state. Most of these branches facilitate meetings and organize financial help for those needing hospitalization, the one exception being Charlotte which runs a nursing home for those wishing to \"dry-out.\" No state statistics are given but it was assumed that there were 20,000 members nationally in 1947.
