North Carolina recorded 7 behavioral health provider deactivations during the week of Aug. 3-9, 2026, accounting for 4% of the national total. All 7 were individuals; no organizations were deactivated. The figures reflect administrative changes in the federal NPI registry and do not by themselves indicate licensure action or whether a provider stopped practicing.
Credentials and Cities
Specialists and Clinical Social Workers were the most common retired taxonomies, with 2 each. Professional Counselors, Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselors and RBTs each accounted for 1. The city data was dispersed: Asheville, Greensboro, Burlington, Brevard and Greenville each recorded 1 deactivation. Gastonia and Raleigh also appeared among the listed provider locations.
What the Distribution Shows
The credential mix spans medical, counseling, social work and behavioral technician roles rather than one dominant provider type. The city pattern is similarly broad, with no city accounting for more than 1 of the reported deactivations. This limited concentration describes the registry records for the week but does not establish a broader workforce trend.
These deactivations are administrative NPI status changes, and the registry data alone cannot determine the operating status of specific providers or services in North Carolina.
