Drug & Alcohol Rehab in South Carolina

The cost of rehab in South Carolina varies based on the level of care (detox, residential, outpatient), length of stay (30, 60, or 90 days), and whether you have insurance. With in-network insurance, most SCAT clients pay little to nothing out of pocket. We’ll verify your specific benefits for free in about 60 seconds – just submit the form above or call 866-825-2849.

South Carolina does provide some publicly funded treatment options through the Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS) and county alcohol & drug abuse authorities. SCAT is a private treatment center and works primarily with commercial insurance and private pay; we do not currently accept Medicaid or Medicare. If you’re unsure of your options, call us – we can help you understand what you qualify for.

Detox typically lasts 3 to 7 days depending on the substance and severity of withdrawal. Residential inpatient treatment most often runs 30, 60, or 90 days – with research consistently showing that longer programs (60+ days) lead to stronger long-term recovery outcomes. Your individual length of stay is determined by clinical assessment and reviewed throughout treatment.

Yes – South Carolina enforces a zero-tolerance law for drivers under 21, meaning a BAC of 0.02% or higher results in license suspension. For drivers 21+, the legal limit is 0.08%. Beyond legal consequences, repeated DUIs and alcohol-related incidents are often signs that professional treatment is needed. If alcohol is interfering with your life, our admissions team can help you take the next step.

Detox is the medical process of safely clearing drugs or alcohol from your system while managing withdrawal symptoms – typically 3 to 7 days. Rehab is the longer therapeutic process that follows: residential or outpatient treatment that addresses the underlying causes of addiction through individual therapy, group therapy, dual diagnosis care, and skill-building. At SCAT, both happen on the same campus – clients move from detox to residential without a transfer.

Yes. When clinically appropriate, we incorporate FDA-approved medications such as Suboxone, Vivitrol, and Naltrexone into treatment for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. MAT is always paired with counseling and behavioral therapy – never used alone. Your treatment team will discuss whether MAT is right for you during clinical assessment.

Absolutely. Our dual diagnosis program treats substance use disorder alongside co-occurring mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and trauma. Treating both conditions simultaneously – rather than separately or sequentially – produces significantly better outcomes. Our master-level clinicians are trained in trauma-informed and integrated dual diagnosis care.

SCAT is in-network with most major commercial insurers including Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ambetter Health, Magellan Healthcare, Molina Healthcare, MedCost, and Carolina Behavioral Health Alliance.

Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a 7-day supply of any current prescription medications (in original bottles), comfortable clothing for 7-10 days, basic toiletries, and any books, journals, or photos that bring you comfort. Avoid bringing valuables, large amounts of cash, electronics that could distract from treatment, or any substances. We’ll send you a complete pre-admission checklist when you confirm your stay.

Getting started is simple. Call 866-825-2849 anytime, day or night, or fill out the verification form above.

There’s no obligation – the call is just a conversation about whether SCAT is the right fit for your situation.

Aftercare planning starts on day one. Before you complete residential treatment, your team builds a personalized continuing care plan that may include sober living referrals, intensive outpatient (IOP) or partial hospitalization (PHP) step-down programs, individual therapy, and connection to local 12-step or SMART Recovery groups. Every SCAT alum gains lifetime access to our alumni community for ongoing support, events, and accountability.
