Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient rehabs provide flexibility and accommodation for clients who prefer to remain in their homes and workplaces while in recovery. They also facilitate clients' sustained sobriety for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient care. Clients may engage in day, evening, night, or weekend treatment sessions, which typically involve addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many outpatient facilities also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and massage.
This may include relapse prevention strategies, continued accountability, support groups and outpatient therapy, and those pieces are not a fixed package.
24-hour clinical care in South Carolina is designed to protect those in recovery from health risks of withdrawal. For example, opioid withdrawal can cause vomiting and diarrhea that results in a life-threatening level of dehydration. Withdrawal from benzodiazepines can cause seizures which can be fatal. To avoid these risks, supervised medical detox is recommended. Under this care, medical professionals constantly monitor patients to ensure a safe detox process.
Detox here is medically supervised. Monitoring runs around the clock, and withdrawal symptoms are treated as part of that supervision.
Treatments
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Programs
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Clinical Services
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Group therapy participants in South Carolina learn practical conflict resolution skills they can practice within the group. These skills are essential for improving your relationships and reducing stress outside rehabilitation. Both of these factors are crucial to help maintain your recovery.
The goal of all family therapy sessions is to support their loved one's recovery effectively by learning new and healthy communication skills as well as ways of managing stress and resolving conflicts. This helps improve interactions and addresses underlying issues within the family that often influence recovery.
There are four fundamental processes to motivational interviewing in South Carolina. Engaging involves careful listening to understand the client's perspective. Focusing involves reaching an agreement on the purpose of the treatment. Evoking is the process of exploring the client's ideas and motivations. Planning explores how the client can make changes.
