Headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, Barrier Islands Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine specializes in integrated mental health and addiction treatment, with an emphasis on their dual diagnosis intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adults. They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT). Barrier Island works with insurance, and potential clients are urged to call the center directly to see if their insurance is covered and to find out more about payment options.

Their IOP is structured with several therapy sessions every week targeted at individuals struggling with mental health conditions and substance use problems. Staff work with individuals with co-occurring conditions in mind, offering a mix of individual and group therapy, medication management and evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This treatment helps ensure that a client can get the support they need to work on recovery while managing to juggle treatment with all of their other obligations. This can help clients strike a good balance between the demands of daily living with the advantages of having more consistent treatment.

Along with an IOP, Barrier Island provides supportive services for various mental health issues and substance abuse care. Services include therapy to address personal mental health struggles, CBT for guided structured cognitive treatment, and medication management when a pharmacological adjunct to mental health and addiction is warranted. They also provide specialized treatments for resistant depression, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Spravato to help patients find alternative solutions to traditional treatments that have been ineffective.

They offer medication assisted treatment with opioids like Suboxone and Vivitrol to treat opioid dependence. The staff at the facility works with clients to find the right treatment for them, which includes referrals for inpatient programs if needed.
