12 Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers Near Charleston, SC (Within 25 Miles)

All 4 centers in Charleston offer outpatient treatment and medication-assisted services, which means whether you need to maintain work or family obligations or prefer a flexible schedule, you have options. Here's what you'll find:

• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) — All 4 centers prescribe buprenorphine (including buprenorphine with naloxone and buprenorphine alone), and all 4 provide outpatient methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone treatment. This combination of medications gives you medically sound choices to stabilize addiction and reduce cravings.
• Detoxification — 3 of the 4 centers offer medical detox, a crucial first step if you need supervised withdrawal support.
• Therapy & Counseling — All 4 provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), substance abuse counseling, trauma-related counseling, motivational interviewing, and individual counseling. These evidence-based therapies address both the addiction itself and any underlying trauma or mental health concerns driving it.
• Aftercare & Relapse Prevention — All 4 centers include aftercare and continuing care planning, along with relapse prevention counseling. A few also offer naltrexone-based relapse prevention, which uses medication to block opioid euphoria and reduce cravings long-term.
• Comprehensive Assessment — Every center screens for substance use, mental health disorders, tuberculosis, and conducts urine and breathalyzer testing so your treatment is tailored to your actual needs, not a template.
• Naloxone & Overdose Education — All 4 centers provide naloxone kits and overdose education, a potentially life-saving safeguard whether you're in active treatment or supporting someone who is.

Cost is often the biggest question. In Charleston, all 4 centers in our directory accept both Medicaid and private health insurance, making treatment financially accessible to a broad range of people.

• Medicaid — South Carolina's Medicaid program covers substance use treatment at all 4 listed centers. For details on Medicaid coverage, eligibility, and what you'll need to bring, see our South Carolina rehab guide.
• Private Insurance — All 4 centers accept private health insurance. Contact them directly with your plan details to confirm your coverage.
• Sliding Scale or Out-of-Pocket — If neither Medicaid nor private insurance applies to you, confirm with the center what payment options they offer.

Don't let money uncertainty delay you. Call ahead, ask what they accept, and ask if they can work with you on payment plans.
