TIPS: If you feel you're going to use

  • Find a peer support group: South Carolina 12-step meetings and aftercare programs from the DRS directory.
  • Stay active and distracted—become a member at the local community center, join a gym, or take long or short walks.
  • Utilize free or open behavioral health counseling or contact SC 2-1-1.
  • Find an extroverted activity—experience the historic districts, beaches, Plantation Gardens, Hilton Head Island, or the state parks.
  • Avoid risky situations that lead to relapse. Be aware of commonly used drugs and triggers.

TIPS: If you want to help someone

  • Refer them to local resources through DRS or the South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services.
  • Be aware of overdose risks—resources available through the South Carolina Overdose Prevention Project.
  • Assessment and screening are vital tools. These resources are available at the state and local levels.
  • Consider hiring a professional interventionist and plan a family intervention.
  • Avoid enabling anyone addicted to drugs or alcohol as it worsens the situation.

South Carolina Long-Term Rehab

At DRS, our professional opinion is that long-term treatment provides the best chance for recovery and maintaining sobriety. Here are a few reasons why:

  • Long-term programs in South Carolina offer a well-rounded approach to treatment to ensure that the different problems in a person’s life can be attended to, not just substance use.
  • This type of treatment can vary in length to give ample individual time at the facility to overcome their addiction.
  • By living at the facility, the person is free from the stress of their daily life and can put their focus on getting through their program.
  • Family counseling is often provided to ensure that the family dynamic can be addressed and relationships can be repaired.

As we can see, many options are available for individuals who require a long-term program for substance use issues in South Carolina. If you are looking to get yourself or a loved one into a facility in South Carolina, there are many possibilities you can choose from. Look through our directory above or call one of our specialists to begin the process.

Getting Help With Substance Use: The Basics

Paying for Treatment in South Carolina

Paying for treatment in South Carolina depends heavily on whether or not the person has health insurance coverage and if so, what type. Most treatment centers accept cash and insurance. Without health insurance, substance use treatment can be quite expensive.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in South Carolina

Medicaid is available in South Carolina to those who qualify and enroll. To qualify, a person must be able to show financial hardship through income verification. Should a person make too much income, they may not qualify for Medicaid assistance. Medicaid can pay for as much as the entire cost of treatment.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in South Carolina

Private health insurance is generally accepted at more facilities than Medicaid, and these facilities are usually privately owned. They may offer different methods of treatment than what can be found in Medicaid programs and usually provide superior service to state-funded programs. Private programs often don’t accept Medicaid, so they are less utilized and have more available beds, making it faster to enroll and get started with recovery.

But not everyone can afford private health insurance or the cash price of treatment. And these people don’t always qualify for Medicaid, leaving them uninsured and in need of rehabilitation. Unfortunately, South Carolina is one of 12 states with no expanded Medicaid eligibility. This means that around 105,000 residents have no realistic access to healthcare because they cannot afford it, and the state doesn’t provide it. A person’s best chance in this scenario is to see if they qualify for a discounted policy through the state’s exchange marketplace. Or they can see if the facility itself offers any payment assistance.

The following insurers are available through the South Carolina Health Insurance Marketplace Guide 2023:

  • Ambetter/Absolute Total Care
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina
  • Cigna
  • Molina
  • Select Health

Paying for Treatment when Uninsured

There’s still one option for those who still don’t qualify for assistance with health insurance. Some facilities in the state offer sliding-scale payment options. The person’s income is considered as a basis for a discounted rate. The cost may then be split into affordable payments so treatment can be started without delay.

But waiting to get someone insured when they need treatment is never recommended. If they don’t currently have coverage, it’s best to proceed with finding an affordable rehab than to wait and perhaps still not obtain coverage. You can contact one of the treatment specialists at DRS for more information on how to pay for treatment. Or contact the center directly.

DRS’ Evaluation of Rehabs in South Carolina

South Carolina has a statewide network of licensed and nationally accredited substance use treatment providers overseen by the South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services. There are a good amount of private programs and those provided by the state. Our experts recommend contacting more than one facility and asking about availability. If there is a waitlist, place a name on this list.

Regarding payment, roughly three-quarters of the programs accept Medicaid or private health insurance. Less than half take state-financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid. A small portion provides a sliding fee scale for clients. However, over half of the services offer their treatment options at no charge or minimal payment for clients who cannot pay.

More Information

Michael Leach is a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, who has over 5 years of experience working in the field of addiction. He spent his career working under the board-certified Addictionologist Dr. Rohit Adi. His experience includes working with families during their loved one’s stay in treatment, helping those with substance abuse issues find treatment, and teaching life skills to patients in a recovery atmosphere. Though he has worked in many different areas of rehabilitation, the majority of his time was spent working one on one with patients who were actively withdrawing from drugs. Withdrawal and the fear of going through it is one biggest reason why an addict continues to use and can be the most difficult part of the rehabilitation process. His experience in the withdrawal atmosphere has taught him that regardless of what approach a person takes to get off drugs, there are always mental and emotional obstacles that need to be overcome. He believes having someone there to help a person through these obstacles can make all the difference during the withdrawal process.
