North Carolina recorded 6 deactivations among Behavioral Health Providers during the week of Sept. 7–13, 2026, representing 4% of the national total. All six records were individuals; no organizations were listed. The update reflects administrative changes in the federal NPI registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials
Clinical Social Workers and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselors each accounted for 2 records, or 33% of the state total. Professional Counselors accounted for 1 record, or 17%, as did Case Managers/Care Coordinators. The credential distribution therefore centers on social work and substance-use counseling, while also including counseling and care-coordination roles. These categories describe the taxonomy attached to deactivated NPIs and are not a complete measure of the behavioral health workforce.
Geographic Distribution
Charlotte had 2 deactivations, the largest city count. Durham, Gastonia, Chapel Hill and Marion each had 1. The records span five cities, with the only repeated location being Charlotte. That distribution shows a limited concentration in the available city-level data, but the small number of records does not establish a broader regional pattern.
North Carolina’s weekly update captures six individual NPI status changes across several behavioral health roles and communities, rather than a direct count of workforce exits or service capacity.
