About Waccamaw Center for Mental Health – Kingstree
Serving the residents of Kingstree, South Carolina, and Williamsburg County, the Waccamaw Center for Mental Health provides personalized mental healthcare and addiction treatment to adults and youth. Since 1967, they’ve been making it easier for people to get the care they need, right in their own communities. This location offers adult and adolescent outpatient services as well as school-based programs.
Their School-Based Services is the largest program of its type in the state. These services offer support for children and families who are experiencing behavioral health challenges. By offering school-based programs, Waccamaw removes some of the barriers to treatment and increases access to support.
Committing to recovery can feel overwhelming, but the outpatient treatment programs here are designed to help you through each step. Individual therapy is a key part of the process. Meeting with a qualified therapist gives you a safe, judgement free space to talk about your struggles.
Group therapy is another important part of recovery. It brings people together who are facing similar challenges. It’s a supportive environment, where you can find strength in knowing you’re not alone.
Family therapy helps strengthen the relationships that matter most in your recovery journey. Addiction affects more than just you. It touches your family and loved ones. Family therapy can help rebuild trust and provide the support system you need to stay on track.
When traditional outpatient therapy just isn’t enough, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers a deeper level of support without needing hospitalization. If you’re struggling to manage daily life while working on recovery, this program could work for you.
Standard outpatient treatment typically takes place once a week. The IOP includes more therapy visits and more group sessions each week. More time in therapy can help you feel stronger and more capable, making it easier to keep on track with recovery.
Recovery isn’t just about overcoming addiction. It’s also about addressing the co-occurring disorders like depression and anxiety that can keep you from enjoying healthy activities.
That’s where psychosocial rehabilitation services (PRS) play a crucial role. Without life skills or the confidence to build relationships, you might shy away from things like socializing, taking care of yourself, or even enjoying trips to nearby Myrtle Beach.
Living in Kingstree offers a great environment for recovery, and getting help at Waccamaw Center for Mental Health can help you take healthy steps out into a world full of opportunities.
