About Charleston Recovery Center

Charleston Recovery Center offers intensive inpatient care and sober living programs for men and women navigating substance use issues in Charleston, South Carolina. They provide a safe, structured and supportive home that inspires happiness and joy. The facility is clean, modern and fully equipped to ensure comfort among residents. In this serene and communal setting, men and women achieve sobriety, freedom and confidence that enables them to thrive in the real world.

The facility is situated in West Ashley, a suburban area known for its historic charm and natural beauty. The area is calm and residential with many nearby attractions enhancing its beauty while offering recreational benefits.

Building a Sound Recovery Foundation

The program is individualized and rooted in 12 steps with a minimum stay of 90 days. This includes a week orientation or probation period and eleven weeks of inpatient residential care. During this period, you’ll attend 12-Step Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and participate in intense 12-Step work and AM & PM devotions. These meetings foster a sense of belonging and community support and help you build strong support networks. You’ll learn an easy and effective way to work through the 12 steps. You’ll earn a privileged status that gives you more freedom on site as you achieve exemplary recovery milestones.

You’ll enjoy the support and encouragement of peers and staff’s guidance. What I think you’ll especially enjoy about this program is that it integrates many recreational and fun activities. Residents enjoy frequent trips to Broadway shows, concerts, and movies as well as gardens and petting zoos. This aims to ensure you have a great time in recovery at no extra cost. Weekly visits from loved ones are supported. This enables the family to navigate recovery as a single unit. Additional time may be granted for inpatient recovery if necessary.

Sober Living Available

Residents who complete up to 120 days of inpatient recovery are eligible for the sober living program. This aims to equip you with independent living skills that facilitate smooth reentry into the community. You’ll learn personal responsibility and accountability among a thriving and supportive community of peers. You’re encouraged to seek employment and attend external AA meetings to build the confidence necessary to maintain sobriety. You’re mandated to regularly check-ins with staff, attend meetings onsite and submit work hours. This fosters accountability. Most residents elect to remain in the community and help newcomers while working or attending college upon completing the program. Some join the facility as staff.

Please stay away from this place if you're seeking recovery for your loved one. I called and spoke with Jess who initially sounded very UNCONCERNED, however I explained thst I was seeking help for my son and I was handing the phone over to him. My son stated to her that he would call her back and hung up the phone. This UNCONCERNED individual didn't try calling him back. After a while, I called the number back and again I got this same UNCONCERNED Jess on the phone and I asked why she didn't call my son back and her response was that he said he would call her back....WHAT?!? I proceeded to remind her of why she's working there and some abrupt gentleman took over the call. He offered apologies and wanted to move forward as though nothing happened. In the second after she hung up...this struggling life could've (IS)been lost! All the other agencies called back....shame on you Charleston Recovery!!!!!!

This was my first full go at rehab and I couldn t have picked a better place. The staff and residents here really help you to work thoroughly and find the root of your problem. I have made many friends I can consider family at this point while attending the Ashely Hope. I have found the true meaning of happiness in life.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. Linden Oaks' Residential Stay Program offers additional support for those who may benefit from a structured living environment. A patient's stay may vary from a few days to 30 days ago. The program includes group, family and individual counseling.

12-step icon12-Step

Persons engaged in a 12 step program regularly attend group meetings in their communities, though online sessions are becoming increasingly popular. 12 step recovery is rooted in spiritual principles that enable participants to address the root causes of addiction and to foster self-awareness, compassion, acceptance, and accountability. Peer sponsors support participants as they work through the steps of recovery. Most programs are non-denominational, but specialized formats, including the faith-based Celebrate Recovery! format, are available.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

Men and women in South Carolina undergoing individual therapy work closely with their therapist to address the personal challenges and lifestyle changes that can help address addiction triggers. You have a unique situation and your therapist will spend time helping you develop healthy coping strategies so you can work toward achieving and maintaining sobriety.

Charleston Recovery Center AKA The Hope is a wonderful facility specializing in addiction recovery based off the 12 steps of AA. Have no been to many treatment facilities before this was the first place that showed me the teachings of AA and how it can have a profound change in your life. If it wasn’t for this place and the wonderful people who work for it I would not be living the life I am able to now.

I recently celebrated one year of sobriety, and I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the Charleston Recovery Center and the incredible staff who helped guide me through the 12 Steps of AA. From the moment I arrived, I felt supported, understood, and challenged to grow. Special thanks to Jett, Thomas, and Gene—your dedication, compassion, and personal insight into recovery made all the difference. Each of you brought something unique to the table: Jett’s direct approach and honesty, Thomas’s calm and steady encouragement, and Gene’s wisdom and lived experience. Together, you helped me confront the root causes of my addiction and taught me how to live with integrity and purpose. The 12-Step program here is not just a guideline—it’s a way of life. At Charleston Recovery Center, they don’t just tell you what recovery looks like; they show you, day by day, through their actions and the community they've built. It’s a tough program at times, but if you’re serious about recovery, this place will change your life. A year ago, I couldn't imagine making it this far. Today, I wake up sober, grateful, and hopeful. Thank you for giving me the tools and support I needed to reclaim my life.

In 2016, I walked into The Hope completely hopeless. I didn’t believe that any program — let alone this one — could actually help me. I was lost, exhausted, and convinced I was beyond saving. But here’s the truth: if you’re tired of being tired, and you’re willing to follow some simple directions — even just a little bit — what they teach you here works. It works when you do it every day. It works when you pass it on to others. That’s the key. Today, I have eight years of sobriety. My kids are in my life. Their mother and I have a strong relationship. I’ve rebuilt trust with my family and friends. I’ve got a life I’m proud of. I’m a 100% satisfied customer. So stop listening to your own thinking. Let someone else guide you — just for a while. You’ll be amazed where it can take you.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received at Charleston Recovery Center. This place has truly been a life-changer for me. When I first walked through their doors, I was lost in my struggles with drug addiction and alcoholism, but the compassionate staff helped me find not only my path to recovery but also my connection to God. The understanding I gained about my disease was profound. Through their comprehensive programs and individualized care, I learned to view my addiction not just as a struggle, but as a part of my journey that I could overcome. The spiritual guidance I received opened my eyes to the possibility of a renewed life. As I approach two years of sobriety, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the unwavering support from the team at Charleston Recovery Center. Staff members like Jett, Jeanine, and Gene Rowell were instrumental in my early recovery. Their encouragement, wisdom, and genuine care made all the difference. They were there for me during my toughest days, offering guidance, understanding, and hope when I needed it most. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, I wholeheartedly recommend Charleston Recovery Center. They provide not just treatment, but a community and a pathway to a brighter future. Thank you, Charleston Recovery Center, for helping me reclaim my life!

Charleston Recovery Center saved my life, and the lives of several of my friends. I had been to multiple treatment centers with zero success staying sober before coming to CRC. Here I was finally given the necessary tools to live a happy, productive and sober life. If you are struggling with addiction and you want a real solution, you will find it here.

Charleston Recovery has literally saved my life. Not only in the physical sense but also emotionally and spiritually. I came here from the streets of Southern California and was welcomed with open arms and given the tools I needed to live a happy, joyous and free life. I committed to a 90 day inpatient program and when the time came for me to leave, I was begging to stay. All of the staff, including the director, Ronnie Byers, had become family to me. I experienced true acceptance for the first time in a very long time. I came to know that I’m not alone in my fight with addiction. I can’t put a price tag on the friendships I made here and the changes Charleston Recovery helped me to make. I’m forever grateful. If you’re on the fence about coming here, I can honestly say it changed my mind about 12 step programs of recovery and in that, changed my life. This is the place to be if you’re struggling!
