Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

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.
