About Ernest E Kennedy Center – Goose Creek, South Carolina

Ernest E. Kennedy Center provides substance abuse and mental health treatment for adolescents and adults in Goose Creek, South Carolina. Your recovery starts with a biopsychosocial assessment to help the team develop your treatment plan. They base their substance abuse treatment on the Biological, Psychological, Social, Spiritual, and Experiential Model (BPSSEM). This service helps address the different aspects of addiction and healing, including the effects on the brain and the increase in addictive disorders.

Guests learn mindfulness methods, attend recreational therapy and have interventions that support total healing and healthy functions of the brain. You’ll learn techniques to offset and manage cravings and mindfulness practices that keep you in the present moment. They’ll address trauma and co-occurring symptoms so you uncover the causes of addiction to overcome them long-term.

If you need higher-intensity services then they provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) at the main office on Moncks Corner to help lessen withdrawal symptoms for adults struggling with alcohol or opioid addictions. They use FDA-approved medicines like Naltrexone, Suboxone, Vivitrol and Antabuse. A medical provider will assess you to determine which medication is best for your unique needs.

Something unique about this center is that they also offer prevention programs to help youth understand the risks of substance abuse. They also have the SPARx service which concentrates on overdose prevention and storing medications safely along with avoiding prescriptions that are not in your name.

One of their youth programs is the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), which replaces drug and alcohol use structures for those between 12 and 18 with methods to abstain from substance use.

Ernest E. Kennedy Center works to serve the nearby local communities, changing one life at a time.
