Alcoholism

Alcoholism is characterized by a lack of control over drinking habits, use of alcohol despite negative consequences, and preoccupation with alcohol. Often, alcohol use disorder occurs simultaneously with other mental health disorders. If you have a co-occurring disorder, it is important to get treatment for both. Alcohol rehab in South Carolina can provide this dual diagnosis treatment through inpatient or outpatient care.

Drug Addiction

Choosing a drug rehab in South Carolina helps you overcome drug dependency, learn how to manage cravings, and obtain the tools needed to prevent relapse. This is accomplished through individualized treatment that addresses a full spectrum of physical, social, and emotional needs.

Dual Diagnosis

South Carolina's specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs treat individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These comprehensive treatment programs generally encompass a mental health assessment, individualized treatment plan, mindfulness-based therapies, and support groups designed to improve mental health, help you achieve sobriety, and equip you with the tools to sustain recovery.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

Specialized dual-diagnosis treatment programs in South Carolina can help individuals looking for substance abuse treatment. Dual-diagnosis simply means treating individuals struggling with addiction and any other mental health problems, like anxiety. These conditions often co-occur and treating them at the same time can dramatically improve your odds of success. You can typically expect these addiction treatment programs to utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with skill-based education to enhance your coping skills and improve your overall well-being.

Outpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients undergoing treatment in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) remain in or return to their homes following detox and/or inpatient rehab. They engage in multiple, extended treatment sessions weekly, with most intensive outpatient rehabs requiring between nine and 20 therapeutic hours per week. These programs are ideal for clients in early recovery and those at an elevated risk of relapse and typically combine counseling, recovery education, holistic care, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. The Residential Treatment Center serves women who are currently in the substance abuse treatment process or who have been through the treatment processes and are transitioning back into the community. It is a ten bed social setting facility.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Family Therapy

Chemically dependent families have a unique system that seeks to provide stability in spite of drug usage. Understanding the family system, its roles, rules, and structure allows participants to understand how their addiction has affected their loved ones. It will help everyone recognize and understand the changes within the family as everyone adapts. Group interaction with family participation can develop an understanding that chemical dependency of any member of the family, indicates family pain and is not solely experienced by the chemically dependent person.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy is a planned face-to-face intervention that is often useful in assisting the client in improving their emotional and behavioral functioning. Client’s unique stressors are often generational in nature and immensely extensive and affect their families as well as themselves. Individual therapy can enhance the client’s capacity to identify maladaptive behaviors and cognitions allowing them to identify more appropriate alternatives. They will learn to utilize new strategies to make beneficial lasting lifestyle changes which help to promote more adaptive behaviors.

Life Skills

The purpose of the Psychosocial Rehabilitative Services (Life Skills) face-to-face service is to assist the client in the restoration or strengthening of skills needed to promote and sustain independence and stability in their living, learning, social and work environments.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
