COVID19
We encourage you to follow the CDC guidelines on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. Please continue to follow all the CDC guidelines, including wash your hands for 20 seconds, use hand sanitizer when washing is not an option, put a 6-foot distance between yourself and others, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others, and clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily in your home. We thank you for your continued commitment to the mitigation of COVID-19 and we look forward to serving those struggling with mental health and/or substance use disorders.

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for our Members, their families, our staff and the community. We have implemented changes to our programs and operations as we respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and work to mitigate the risk of virus transmission, while providing quality mental health and substance abuse treatment to those experiencing mental health and/or addiction challenges. 

We are currently open and admitting new clients to our Psycho Social Rehabilitation (PSR) and Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient (SAIOP) programs. Please see below to learn more about the changes to help you navigate and better understand our current operations. We continue to monitor information from the CDC, state and federal authorities and will implement updates and recommended changes, accordingly

  • We are disinfecting surfaces throughout our facility throughout the day with an intensified focus for high touch/contact areas based on frequency of use. Additionally, we are contracted with Corvus Janitorial Services who provide daily cleaning, disinfection and sanitizing. Furthermore, Corvus staff provides disinfection of all areas using commercial grade chemicals which is a critical factor in helping to curb the spread of the virus in the facility. As an added measure, all touchpoints such as door handles, phones, light switches, faucet handles, countertops receive disinfection, along with all hard surfaces.

Our History

Empowerment Quality Care Services, LLC was co-founded in during May 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina by current owner, Andre Reynolds (CEO). During May 2020, the company welcomed Chuck Thompson (COO) as a new co-owner of EQCS. We have successfully collaborated to form a program that will stand above the rest, through the use of intense educational modules, that will enhance each Member’s will to achieve their goals, coupled with a firm living environment that will address the Member’s health, social, and personal needs.
We are proud and honored to have been awarded Council on Quality & Leadership (CQL) Accreditation in August 2013.  Most recently, we achieved and currently maintain CQL Accreditation in Quality Assurances.  EQCS’ participation in CQL’s international accreditation program demonstrates our commitment to excellence in person-centered services and supports that lead to increased quality of life. 

*We Now Offer Virtual and On-site Services

EQCS has established general program guidelines and rules that must be followed by our Members; however, services will be tailored to their goals. Members will design a Person-Centered Plan or individualized Recovery Plan with their direct care provider based on what is important to them and services provided will be based on the goals Members help create for themselves. Your case worker will provide you with training, advice, and resources that will enable you to take control of your illness, better manage your symptoms, increase your independence, and overall improve your ability to live more successfully in your community.
EQCS provides PSR and SAIOP onsite and promotes the use of resources that are available to you in your community. The cost for our services is covered by Medical Assistance or Medicaid. If you do not have this insurance we will help you apply for any and all entitlements. You are in charge of your recovery.
