Some of the sessions were very helpful for me but honestly I am sure I won't come back here, there are many things that need to change from the program in order for it to be what the patients deserve.
About Waypoint Recovery Center
Waypoint Recovery Center is a substance use disorder and behavioral health treatment center with two locations in South Carolina. One location has a residential treatment center, but the facility on Netherby Lane in North Charleston offers outpatient treatment only.
The programs are accredited by The Joint Commission. The outpatient program is in network with UBH insurance and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. They work with many other insurance carriers to get the most benefit from your insurance even if it’s not in network. The programs are for adults 18 and older.
The Netherby Lane outpatient program is an intensive outpatient program (IOP). At the time of writing, the daytime IOP runs from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The evening IOP takes place from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Most of the programs in the IOP are group programs. You’ll participate in process groups where several people meet with a therapist. During the process group, you’ll learn more about yourself while interacting with others.
There are also education groups and skills building groups. The education group is less about relationships. Instead, a therapist gives you some ideas, tools, and info to help you develop better coping skills. You’ll learn about goal setting and how to pursue your goals while ensuring that your goals are appropriate for sober living.
Skills building groups are a place where you’ll learn skills to help you in your daily life and that reduce the likelihood of relapsing. You’ll get a chance to practice your skills in the group.
An IOP is beneficial because you’ll apply the skills you’re learning in groups to your daily life and work situations. There’s accountability, flexibility, and peer support. There’s also less disruption to your daily life because you’ll be able to continue your family, work, or school responsibilities while attending the program.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Inpatient 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.
Their structured, comprehensive program includes daily process group meetings with 12-step facilitation; education about recovery skills, relapse prevention, and various psychoeducational topics; individual therapy; development of living sober recreational skills; and involvement with the local AA and NA community. Before completion of the program, they help their clients plan follow-up care with our Intensive Outpatient Program in N. Charleston or with their own local resources.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Aftercare Support Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Intensive 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.
IOP includes a diverse array of programming. All clients enrolled in this service are asked to invite their chosen family to Multiple Family Group Therapy (MFGT). Clients are also required to participate in Individual Therapy at a mutually agreed upon time.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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.
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.
Programs
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
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
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation. At Waypoint Recovery Center, they address the whole family system to optimize success.
Group Therapy services are focused groups designed to be flexible and meet the needs of the community. These may include substance use disorder groups (similar to those in IOP), specific skill-building groups, packaged programming for local referral sources, and treatment groups for people utilizing Medication Assisted Therapy with local practitioners.
Therapy is individualized to the needs of the person; objectives of each treatment plan will reflect a shared journey. They fully understand the value of meeting clients “where they are at,” taking into account their understanding and insights regarding the impact of substance use in their life. Then, they introduce the appropriate empirically-based intervention that can help the person gain insight and make effective change.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
