About MUSC Health Institute of Psychiatry

The MAT program provides FDA-approved medications in combination with mental health counseling to address the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of addiction and recovery. The medication helps manage cravings and reduce the risk of relapse while clients lay a solid foundation for long-term recovery.

The inpatient program provides a way to focus on recovery without the interruptions of daily life. Services may include individual and group therapy, medication management, addiction education, life-skills training, and relapse prevention. Approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and other evidence-based methods.

The intensive outpatient program meets for nine hours per week, and general outpatient care meets for one to three hours per week. Services are similar to the inpatient program.

MUSC Health Institute of Psychiatry may accept a wide range of insurance plans, such as Humana, Ambetter, Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, and more. Because insurance plans vary, be sure to verify coverage information and out of network details with the insurer.

Yalls medicine ruined my life. It goes in and trys to destroy every aspect of your health. This is why the majority of people dont take it because it destroys their wellbeing. Invega stustenna goes in and causes severe pain throughout the entire body. Abilify causes extreme weakness in the body potentially leading to organ damage, falls, and death. Zyprexa weakens and damages tissues in the body including the brain causing severe cognitive decline. Cognitive impairment due to the medication impairs judgment which causes people to go back into the hospital.My advice is to simply not be a harm to yourself or others.

This is the worst hospital ever. No one to speak with and nurses and doctors are just collecting a paycheck. The state is holding patients to make money.

Accepted Insurance

MUSC Health Institute of Psychiatry works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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 iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Clients who have just completed detox, those who are in crisis, and those with a history of relapse often require treatment in an inpatient rehab. These facilities provide high-level supervision, structure, and support, allowing clients to focus on their recovery away from their addiction triggers. Most inpatient treatment programs center upon various forms of psychotherapy, including CBT, DBT, RBT, and motivational interviewing. Clients may also receive recovery-focused life skills training and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as massage.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Withdrawing from addictive substances, like alcohol, benzodiazepines (like Xanax), or opioids, occurs during the detox process. Since this process can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects, the mission of a medically assisted detox is to provide an expert medical team to help monitor your health around the clock. They will work to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible, administering necessary medications to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms.

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.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

The main basis of cognitive behavioral therapy in South Carolina is that all your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Therefore, the therapist will help you change your thoughts, which will lead to different emotions and actions.

If you struggle with managing your emotions, dialectical behavior therapy in South Carolina might be a good method of treatment for you. This form of talk therapy helps you learn to accept yourself while working on changing unhealthy patterns of thoughts and reactions.

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.

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.

The overall goal of trauma therapy is to address and reduce the lingering physical and emotional effects that trauma has had on your life. You work within a safe space with an experienced therapist to understand your responses and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

During couples therapy in South Carolina, a licensed therapist offers techniques for how both partners can resolve conflict and manage challenges in the relationship. The couple may also engage in individual or family therapy for further support.

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.

If leaving a negative star was possible, I would. Where to begin...I needed a Therapist to talk too. ZERO therapists or counselors, no talk therapy in this facility whatsoever. I ended up being a listening ear for every single patient on my floor. PEOPLE NEED A LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST TO TALK ABOUT THE REASONS THEY ARE THERE. PERIOD. The facility itself was Traumatizing to me, caused multiple panic and anxiety attacks several times a day, more than I've ever experienced in my life. No sleep for the duration of the stay which was the entire reason I was there to begin with and a constant high stress environment that caused my blood sugar to remain very high. Not only did they Not solve the actual issues I was dealing with, it left me with even more trauma to now unpack with a professional. If you think your loved one needs mental health help, PAY FOR A THERAPIST, don't send them here! THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL PERSON I MET WAS DR. LEE. Dr Lee admitted to MANY patients that he never read their charts. His ego was Huge, his bedside manner on the other hand is non-existent. He suggest I take melatonin and Benadryl for a decades long problem I have had with Insomnia And that was After I told him I've had bad reactions to BOTH. There was no listening (he often interrupted) and there certainly was no care. The patients went around him to his student who actually cared and listened and admitted himself that Dr Lee is not a compassionate person. Dealing with people who are suffering from a variety of mental illnesses, stress and fears should Require that you are not only a good listener, but that you are compassionate and you give a damn enough to read Every patients chart and history before prescribing them mind altering medications. I heard this man say he could do whatever he wanted and he knows more than most people. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE heard a doctor speak as if he's above everyone and everything and show so little care to the actual patient standing in front of him. THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL TA WAS BECCA Night shift TA Becca. Stated that she liked night shift because she didn't have to deal with her boss or doctors or any other team coming in & she could "do what she wanted" She was rude, hateful, raised her voice and yelled at patients who were asking her simple questions. One night she lost it, was visibly angry and caused me to have a panic attack from her unprofessional behavior yelling at the group. She needed to be removed from the floor and given time to cool off but instead she went on a rant and then sent everyone to their rooms saying she didn't have to give us food or access to the outside world (aka the phones) she was spiteful and returned after a few days saying she was untouchable and she didn't care what we thought or said about her. She should be removed from this part of the hospital as it is completely unprofessional to threaten mental health patients who all need Understanding, Patience and care. The food was not appropriate for a diabetic or someone lactose intolerant and I went four days straight with nothing but a plain hamburger patty to eat. I was weak from not getting enough protein and it took me 4.5 days straight of advocating for myself to get a simple protein shake. It required getting multiple nurses and departments involved to even obtain a single freaking Protein shake. One dept didn't know what the other was doing. Every single person I met with said YES and yet no one was capable of going to find them and ensuring I had Something to actually fuel my body appropriately. It was unbelievable to me that a hospital didn't have healthy options for it's patients but instead had pizza, Mac and cheese, breaded chicken tenders and mashed potatoes every single day. IF YOUR LOVED ONE IS DIABETIC DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!!! The only good thing about walking away from this facility are the relationships I made with patients and nurses. I cannot say enough good things about Nurses Jen, Erin, Ashley and Susan, they listened, cared and fought for me. For that I am grateful.

I would recommend everyone to go just about anywhere else. The psychiatrist ( Dr. Lee ) I dealt with not only misdiagnosed me but actually told me after I told him that I couldn’t guarantee my safety due to suicidal ideation that “ there are no guarantees in life , I might get hit by lightening or something “! They refused to listen to the fact that I had tried the therapies/medications they were proposing multiple times. They told me that my unwillingness to retry them means I am being resistant and non compliant and even Psychotic or Borderline! For the record, that is not my diagnosis. I have a Major Depressive Disorder/ Dissociative Disorder/cPTSD. No psychosis. The staff there on the unit are mostly indifferent to your emotional needs and seem caught up in just attending to routine tasks. There were a couple who seemed to care. The groups are literally grade school time killers. It took me four days to get my cPAP machine, you get the runaround on everything. Six days there with no treatment then unceremoniously discharged feeling no better. Avoid this place at all costs!!!

We use PCIT therapy at this location for our child. So far our therapist, Alexis Garcia, is great! We like her a lot. However, the front office staff are incredibly rude. They have unfriendly and unprofessional attitudes and they lack communication skills. Odd how a place that's supposed to help people with behavioral issues hires individuals whom have behavioral issues themselves and have them deal with families that need help and compassion.

My therapist reported me as telehealth no show twice but it was she who several times cancelled last minute.. The first visit she didn’t show for a visit but listed me as the no show. I assumed it was an error and didn’t mention it. The last visit was another of several ten to fifteen minute late cancellations so I decided I needed to find a new therapist. I now have two no shows on my record and unlike the rest of MUSC there is no opportunity for feedback after a visit. I am going to write a letter to the Institute because she is quite unprofessional and hurtful to do such a thing.
