Wrightsville Beach Counseling Center was founded by Dr. Lucien S. Wilkins. With over 25 years of experience providing care in the field of Internal Medicine Dr. Wilkins decided to come out of retirement to help combat and treat those suffering with opioid addiction. After seeing the need for a higher level of care and compassion Wrightsville Beach Counseling Center was birthed, it has since become a haven for those affected by substance use and mental health disorders.
