About Kennedy Center

They specialize in intensive and general outpatient services including medication assisted treatment, drug testing and evidence based therapeutic programs. They accept private insurance and Medicaid.

Many have already completed inpatient detox and/or rehab and have returned to their home, workplace, and community. Rehab aftercare services are designed to support clients' recovery over the long term and typically include a broad portfolio of resources, such as peer coaching and 12 step program induction. Clients may collaborate with their case manager and care team to create their care plan.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Choosing a drug rehab in South Carolina helps you overcome drug dependency, learn how to manage cravings, and obtain the tools needed to prevent relapse. This is accomplished through individualized treatment that addresses a full spectrum of physical, social, and emotional needs.

Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented approach to helping clients change their behaviors. CBT’s goal is to identify thinking patterns that may contribute to behaviors causing problems in a client’s life. Once identified clients can replace thinking patterns with more positive thoughts and choose to change behaviors to support lifestyle changes and psychosocial health.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Group Theraphy

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

Individual Therapy (IT) is offered to clients who would benefit from one on one interactions between client and counselor, as well as for group therapy members who need extra time with a counselor. IT sessions can be beneficial for clients who feel more comfortable disclosing personal information related to sensitive topics that may be difficult to discuss in a group setting. IT sessions involve a variety of treatment interventions based on the needs of the client.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a goal-oriented, client-centered counseling style for affecting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve their ambivalence. Clients often enter the treatment process due to outside agencies requesting completion of a treatment program due to problems identified by the outside agency. It is normal for clients who enter treatment due to a referral from someone else, to have ambivalence about making changes related to behaviors. MI honors clients walking through the door having choices related to behavioral change and engaging in the treatment process. Each client ultimately knows the choices that are best for him/her and his/her family. Counselors utilize MI to explore desire, ability, reason and need to make behavioral changes and honor client’s individualized goals for meeting his/her needs.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

The overall goal of trauma therapy is to address and reduce the lingering physical and emotional effects that trauma has had on your life. You work within a safe space with an experienced therapist to understand your responses and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

family iconFamily Therapy

Family Counseling is recommended for all clients. Everyone is part of a family and has been impacted by family members substance use in some way. Family members are often the source of support for individuals entering treatment. Family members often lack the understanding of substance use disorders, which often leads to unintentional shaming for the client. Including family members in treatment can assist with them learning about addiction as a brain disease, effective communication, as well as how to be supportive. Family counseling also provides family members an opportunity to discuss specific family issues that are creating difficulty in the family unit. Even though family sessions are recommended for all clients, there are circumstances, which may prevent family members from attending sessions. Clients will discuss with their primary counselor who they identify as family and their willingness to include family members in the treatment process. Family sessions are offered using a variety of treatment approaches.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication.

Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

art-brush iconCreative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to recover from an addiction or mental health issue but at this center it seemed like if they didn't knew it. After a few weeks I decided to quit the program.

I ve been calling since open time and the number listed for emergencies doesn t have a voicemail. Excuse me my bad they do have another number listed but it goes straight to voicemail which hasn t even been set up yet. I m not a patient but this is a huge red flag I guess I ll be doing this solo yet again. I m not an addict because I take meds to get high I m an addict because I m in pain I took my medicine how prescribed and since the CDC and whoever decided it was bad to prescribe it has been a nightmare to get them to give me what my doctor prescribed I ve been suffering and miserable. I just wanted some help from a local doctor. I don t want to be high, I just don t want to hurt so dang much. I definitely feel like I have no quality of life. I don t want longevity, I want quality of life
