Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers In South Carolina

You have more than 100 treatment facilities to choose from in South Carolina. Most of them treat clients who are poly-addicted and struggling with both alcohol and drug abuse.

There are mainly outpatient facilities, which provide treatment services during the day and allow clients to have a more flexible schedule in order to maintain their work and family lives. There are also inpatient rehabs, where clients are residents for anywhere from 30 days to several months, as well as hospital inpatient settings for cases that need serious medical treatment.

For patients with underlying conditions or mental illness along with substance abuse issues, there are several dual diagnosis facilities in South Carolina. You can also find rehabs with programs specifically geared towards women, men, seniors, and adolescents, as well as survivors of trauma, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.

As you find facilities that interest you, ask about their payment options. A large proportion of facilities accept Medicaid, private health insurance, and state-financed health insurance. More than half of facilities offer treatment at no charge for clients who can’t pay and qualify under certain conditions.

Over half the population in South Carolina drinks alcohol regularly. About 15% of the population reports binge drinking regularly. While alcohol has remained a common problem, the state is also seeing an increase in heroin usage and heroin arrests in recent years.
