About Barrier Islands Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine

Payment is required at time of service. They accept several self-pay methods.
Medication for Opioid Dependency in Charleston
Barrier Islands Psychiatry provides Suboxone and Vivitrol treatment programs to help clients beat opioid addiction. This FDA-approved medication relieves cravings and withdrawal symptoms by coating the nerve cells in the brain to undo the effects of opioids. I also appreciate that they accept clients who want to transition to this practice from another provider. If you already have a Suboxone prescription, their Suboxone Restart program might be for you. They also accept clients who have been on Suboxone in the past and want to re-start.
I like that their staff is made up of physicians that specialize in addiction medicine. They can also assess and treat clients with co-occurring disorders. For depression and other underlying conditions of substance use disorders, they offer Spravato and counseling.
Barrier Islands Psychiatry runs a relapse prevention group and also provides individual therapy options for clients. These groups can take place in their homey facility, complete with warm rugs and decor, hardwood floors, and natural lighting to put you at ease.
