About LRADAC – Lexington
LRADAC was formerly called The Lexington/Richland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council. LRADAC is a nonprofit that serves the residents of Richland and Lexington counties in South Carolina. They have two locations, one of which is on South Lake Drive in Lexington. The Lexington location offers treatment programs for families, youth and teens to treat substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The facility accepts most commercial insurance. They also take Medicare and Medicaid. Individuals and families with incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level will be able to get care free of charge.
The programs and services for youth and teens are offered on an outpatient basis. This keeps the youth in school and at home while getting treatment for substance use and mental health issues. Your child will receive an individualized treatment plan based on his or her circumstances and substance use. Services include drug screening, individual and group counseling, education, intervention and family support.
LRADAC has a comprehensive substance use prevention program. Whether you work in a school or business, there are lots of resources to help with substance misuse prevention. They offer the SC Palmetto Retailers Education Program (PREP) for merchants to help prevent over serving patrons and reduce underage access to tobacco and alcohol. The program can be a helpful resource for owners and employees of grocery stores, liquor stores, restaurants and convenience stores. You can even request expert assistance to help you design policies and training programs about substance use for your staff. You can book speakers to give presentations about tobacco, alcohol and other substances to audiences of all ages.
Another helpful offering is their The South Carolina Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program (ADSAP). This is a mandatory treatment and education program for those convicted of driving under the influence (DUI). It’s also for people with suspended licenses. You’ll be guided through the program, and a counselor will determine what level of care and services are best for you. If your child, teen or an adult in your family is dealing with substance use and mental health challenges, there are many services available here to address those issues.
