About Dorchester Alcohol and Drug Commission
The Dorchester Alcohol and Drug Commission is located in Summerville, South Carolina. They provide outpatient counseling services for adolescents and adults. Medicaid is accepted. If you do not have insurance, they will try to help you. They will try to see if you are eligible for assistance programs, a sliding fee scale, or a payment plan.
Whether you’re an adult or an adolescent, you’ll first need to call and schedule an appointment. The appointment is to schedule your assessments. The assessment will help counselors determine the best level of care for you.
If you’re a teenager, the counselor will make recommendations and set goals with you. Your parents and/or guardian will be involved in this process. You will attend individual and group therapy. If it is determined that you need inpatient care, the counselor can help with care placement.
For adults, they offer a women's intensive outpatient program and a co-ed intensive outpatient program. Both programs are designed to treat substance abuse and dependency. The groups will focus on providing education on topics associated with addiction, recovery, and relapse prevention.
The difference between the programs is when they meet. The co-ed intensive outpatient programs will meet during evening hours. They meet four days a week for an hour and a half. The women’s intensive outpatient program will meet during the morning for an hour and a half, four days per week. The women’s program will also focus on the unique issues women face.
The standard outpatient program offers continuing care. You generally attend 8-10 sessions. The motivational recovery group assists in developing a relapse prevention plan. The group meets once a week, for eight sessions which are an hour and half. For clients who are interested, they are partnered with local providers for medication assisted treatment.
