About Charleston Center of Charleston County
Charleston Center of Charleston County is the county’s Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services. Their mission is to help county residents live a productive life in Charleston, South Carolina.
They work with private insurance and Medicaid, which they will bill for you. They also accept payment and will help establish a payment plan when you qualify. They accept Medicare only for opioid treatment program services but not other addiction services.
Medication Assisted Opioid Treatment Services
Your program begins with a clinical assessment to help identify your needs and the severity of your condition. Once completed, it’s used to develop a treatment plan that utilizes their outpatient services or opioid treatment services. Outpatient care can include individual and group counseling during afternoon and evening hours to accommodate your work or school schedule.
The opioid treatment services address any type of opioid, whether prescription pain medication or illegal street drugs. They use medication assisted detox and medication assisted treatment combined with clinical counseling services to address your recovery journey.
Court Mandated Treatment Services
Other services include urine drug testing, prevention and education programs for drug and alcohol misuse, and prevention programs for tobacco education. Individuals who have had their license suspended after a criminal conviction for drug or alcohol use can complete the Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program to meet court mandated requirements. They also offer a program within the Charleston County Detention Center to provide addiction treatment to inmates in a separate 64 bed male treatment unit.

This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |
Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive treatment in a structured setting during the day but allow you to return home at night. These programs offer a balance of inpatient and outpatient rehab and provide intensive support without full time residency. |
