About Charleston Center of Charleston County

Charleston Center, also known as the Charleston County Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS), treats people facing substance use and mental health challenges. It serves adults, teens, pregnant and parenting women, and people in jail. Services include outpatient care, detox, and residential treatment like the New Life Unit for mothers and the Transitional Care Unit for adults. Their facility supports healing in a safe, structured environment.
Treatment takes place in a calm, supportive setting. Programs use proven therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Clients may join individual and group counseling, both in-person and outpatient. Medication-assisted treatment combines FDA-approved medicines like Suboxone with therapy. The center also uses Seeking Safety therapy, especially for those dealing with trauma and substance use together.
In addition to treatment, Charleston Center offers services like drug testing, HIV and hepatitis education, and family counseling. Parents in recovery can enroll their children in a development program while they get help. After completing treatment, clients may join recovery support groups and stay connected through alumni services. These help people stay sober and build healthy lives after leaving the program.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Charleston Center of Charleston County provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
