About Shoreline Behavioral Health Services – Conway
Shoreline Behavioral Health Services is an outpatient treatment center in Conway, South Carolina, that specifically treats drug and alcohol addiction. They have services for adolescents and adults.
The typical addiction treatment program here is an intensive outpatient program or IOP. That’s where you live at home or in a sober living home and you come to the facility for treatment three times a week for three hours each time. This is primarily group therapy, so you’ll be meeting with your peers as well as addiction counselors to discuss and work through the issues that arise on your recovery journey. The IOP can be a helpful way to get an intensive level of treatment while also having a job and managing other responsibilities, so life doesn’t have to come to a halt. After your IOP you can transition into aftercare, which is one session of counseling per week.
There are a few programs and services here that I especially want to highlight. The first is their adolescent program. They have an IOP for teens ages 12 to 18 which addresses addiction within the specific ways that adolescents need. If you have a child younger than 12, though, who is struggling with addiction, then they can still help. They make special arrangements for kids under 12 whenever possible.
The second program to note is their IOP for women. This program addresses the factors that are especially common among women with addiction, like trauma. They can even offer medications like Suboxone and Vivitrol for pregnant clients with opioid addiction. This medication assisted treatment is a service they can provide to any adult client, too.
This facility has a variety of other programs such as a DUI program if you’re facing or convicted of DUI charges, as well as a problem gambling program. They also offer a harm reduction program that provides drug safety education and distributes Narcan for emergency use.
Some clients say they experienced administrative issues, particularly in the DUI program, such as issues with paperwork and reporting. However, a lot of clients here say that the treatment programs are helpful and the counselors are caring and knowledgeable.
