About The Waccamaw Center for Mental Health

Located in Georgetown, South Carolina, the Waccamaw Center for Mental Health is an outpatient treatment center for adults with mental illnesses. They treat just about anything from depression to anxiety to schizophrenia.

While they’re primarily a mental health clinic, they also help people who have a dual diagnosis. That means you have both a mental illness and drug or alcohol addiction. Addiction and mental health are intertwined in a complex way so the professionals at this treatment center can give you the comprehensive and holistic treatment you need.

All the treatment here is outpatient. It’s mostly group therapy and individual therapy. But they can also provide referrals for other resources or treatments you might need. For example, if you would be a better fit for residential treatment, they can refer you to a residential rehab or they can direct you where to go if you need medication assisted treatment.

It’s worth noting that some clients do have concerns about the quality of care here though as well as the billing. But the experience varies a lot from person to person, so it may be a matter of getting the right therapist who’s a fit for you.
