About Kennedy Center
A unique feature of this facility is that they take a science based approach to addiction treatment. They’ll start with a biopsychosocial assessment to understand your needs and learn more about your condition. Then, they’ll create a custom plan to help you reach your recovery goals. In addition to outpatient counseling for individuals, families and groups, they offer other treatment interventions.
Some of the programs you may participate in here include mindfulness practices, recreational therapy and craving management workshops. They also deliver educational lectures on recovery focused topics like spirituality, nutrition and family dynamics. If you need a higher level of care and more consistent counseling sessions, you can enroll in their intensive outpatient program. This requires at least nine hours of therapy each week including group therapy, family therapy and psychoeducation.

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 😢
In my experience they truly have cared and have worked to help my loved one who struggles with addiction. Very professional.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. Outpatient counseling is customized for each person based on their individual needs and can range from group counseling sessions once or twice per week to one-on-one sessions once every couple of weeks.
Their Intensive Outpatient component is their highest level of care and offers a comprehensive approach that meets conveniently at least 9 hours per week. This type of service is designed for those that may require a more intensive focus to help get on the road to recovery. This practical level of care allows people to remain on their jobs, in school, with their families, and in their communities with minimum disruption.
Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program are in a more advanced stage of recovery. 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 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).
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.
Treatments
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.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. 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.
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. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
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. This recognition is a quick process and is used in a wide variety of issues. RBT is one of the structured CBT interventions utilized in treatment at EEKC.
If you struggle with managing your emotions, dialectical behavior therapy in South Carolina might be a good method of treatment for you. This form of talk therapy helps you learn to accept yourself while working on changing unhealthy patterns of thoughts and reactions.
Group therapy participants in South Carolina learn practical conflict resolution skills they can practice within the group. These skills are essential for improving your relationships and reducing stress outside rehabilitation. Both of these factors are crucial to help maintain your recovery.
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.
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.
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 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 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. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. 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.
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.
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.
