Drug & Alcohol Detox in Myrtle Beach, SC

Myrtle Beach and Horry County have carried one of the highest opioid burdens in South Carolina for years, with the county historically ranking first in the state for opioid overdose deaths and second in overdose-related hospitalizations. In response, several key interventions have been put in place to help people in the area.

Horry County designated Shoreline Behavioral Health Services, based in Conway, as the county’s alcohol and drug authority. Shoreline provides sliding-scale outpatient treatment and counseling to Horry County residents and connects individuals to recovery housing options along the Grand Strand, making it a critical entry point for people without private insurance or the financial resources for private care. Its services are provided on a confidential, open-access basis with no appointment needed on select mornings.

In 2023, Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Conway, and Horry County formally agreed to pool opioid settlement funds toward a coordinated regional response to the local overdose crisis. Backed by guaranteed funding from the South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund, this partnership is expanding peer support and harm reduction access across the Grand Strand.

When choosing a detox center in Myrtle Beach, a few local factors matter. The city is a seasonal tourism hub, and hospital and residential beds can face capacity pressure during summer months, so people seeking inpatient-level care may need to consider facilities in Conway or elsewhere in Horry County. Detox and substance use treatment facilities in South Carolina must be licensed by the SC Department of Public Health (DPH) under Regulation 60-93, Standards for Licensing Facilities for Chemically Dependent or Addicted Persons. Policy oversight and public funding flow through the SC Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) via its Office of Substance Use Services (OSUS), which absorbed the functions of the former DAODAS following a 2025 state agency restructuring.

Paying for Detox in Myrtle Beach

The cost of detox in Myrtle Beach varies considerably depending on the level of care, the substance being treated, and whether a facility is private, nonprofit, or state-funded. Understanding your options for paying for detox before you call a facility can help reduce delays and stress during a critical moment.

How Much Does Detox Cost in Myrtle Beach?

South Carolina sits near the Southeast midpoint for both residential and outpatient detox costs. Pricing in Myrtle Beach and Horry County is shaped by a mix of private facilities, nonprofit programs, and county-supported services through Shoreline Behavioral Health Services. Medical complexity, the need for medication-assisted treatment, and length of stay are the main drivers of total cost. Costs fall to near zero for income-eligible individuals using Horry County’s publicly funded programs through Shoreline.

Key MAT Medications and Regulatory Status in Myrtle Beach

People entering medication-assisted detox for opioid use disorder in Myrtle Beach have multiple regulated pathways available. Medication-assisted treatment is governed at both federal and state levels. Federally, opioid treatment programs must comply with SAMHSA’s 42 CFR Part 8 and DEA controlled-substance regulations, and DBHDD/OSUS aligns state licensing standards with these federal requirements while expecting behavioral counseling to accompany medication treatment.

Buprenorphine

Available throughout Horry County via licensed outpatient clinics and, since the federal government removed the in-person visit requirement for telehealth prescribing, via telemedicine. This flexibility allows individuals to start treatment quickly without waiting for residential placement.

Methadone

Restricted to certified Opioid Treatment Programs. Crossroads Treatment Center on George Bishop Parkway in Myrtle Beach is a CARF-accredited OTP providing outpatient methadone treatment to adults across Horry County. South Carolina Healthy Connections covers methadone at OTP-certified facilities.

Naltrexone

Unrestricted and non-addictive, naltrexone requires no special clinic licensing and can be prescribed by any licensed physician. It is commonly used in Horry County Drug Court programs and is covered by South Carolina Healthy Connections for eligible individuals.

Overdose Prevention and Harm Reduction in Myrtle Beach

Harm reduction organizations in Myrtle Beach provide free, low-barrier services that can save lives and connect people to treatment when they are not yet ready for formal detox. Because fentanyl is now present in a wide range of street drugs in South Carolina, access to naloxone and drug-checking tools is a critical safety measure for anyone using substances in the Grand Strand area.

Fyrebird Recovery

https://fyrebirdrecovery.org/

Syringe services (full-scale exchange program) Naloxone (Narcan) kits, fentanyl test strips, sharps containers, and safe use kits Case management and re-entry support for justice-involved individuals Blaze Closet (low-cost clothing) and a low-barrier food pantry

As one of only four syringe service programs active in South Carolina, Fyrebird provides community members with the tools to reduce overdose risk and avoid bloodborne infections. South Carolina does not explicitly authorize syringe exchange programs by law, so Fyrebird’s operations exist in a legally ambiguous space. Confirm current service hours and locations directly with Fyrebird before visiting.

FAQs About Detox in Myrtle Beach, SC

Is there state-funded detox in Myrtle Beach?

Horry County’s publicly funded substance use treatment is coordinated by Shoreline Behavioral Health Services, the county’s OSUS-designated alcohol and drug authority. Shoreline provides outpatient treatment and counseling on a sliding-scale basis for residents who cannot afford private care. Shoreline does not operate a residential detox facility, so individuals needing medically managed inpatient detox may need a referral to a state-contracted residential provider elsewhere in South Carolina. You can contact Shoreline directly at 843-365-8884 for an assessment.

Does South Carolina Medicaid (Healthy Connections) cover detox in Myrtle Beach?

Yes. South Carolina Healthy Connections covers inpatient detox, outpatient detox, medication-assisted treatment, and residential care for income-eligible individuals, as long as these services are delivered by a Medicaid-enrolled provider. Coverage for MAT includes all three FDA-approved medications: buprenorphine, methadone at certified OTPs, and naltrexone. Not all facilities in Myrtle Beach accept Healthy Connections, so confirm enrollment status when calling.

Are syringe service programs available in Myrtle Beach?

Fyrebird Recovery provides syringe services in the Horry County and Myrtle Beach area.

For that reason, it is best to contact Fyrebird directly at fyrebirdrecovery.org to confirm current service locations and hours before visiting.

What is the Myrtle Beach Opioid Response Program?

The Myrtle Beach Fire Department launched its Opioid Response Program in May 2023, funded through South Carolina opioid settlement dollars.
