Waypoint Recovery Center

About Waypoint Recovery Center – Cameron

Waypoint Recovery Center in Cameron, South Carolina, is a serene and rustic drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility on 58 acres. They serve adults with a team of interdisciplinary professionals who treat addiction as a chronic disease with various therapies and practices. It’s a private facility with luxury amenities.

In addition to widely used behavioral therapy techniques, Waypoint Recovery Center uses experiential therapies, such as art, music, equine, and outdoor practices. Clients do not require a referral for acceptance into the program.

Inpatient care is usually preceded by medical detoxification, a process that rids the body of toxic substances. Detox is necessary to eliminate cravings for abused substances that could disrupt and hinder the treatment program. Detoxification is overseen by a medical team that helps clients cope with the difficulties of withdrawal.

Detox is not a one size fits all process. The length of detox varies between clients based on several factors, including substance abuse history. A comprehensive assessment will determine how long a stay is (though most clients can expect a 10 day stay) and the frequency of medication administration.

Clients in the residential care program live in the facility under 24 hour monitoring from staff and their care team. Treatments are rooted in therapeutic activities, including 12 step programs, relapse prevention education, recovery skill training, and community involvement. Ultimately, therapy seeks to understand the root causes of a client’s addictive behaviors and teach them the coping skills needed to avoid future abuse.

Waypoint also provides experiential therapy services. Experiential therapy focuses on healing through holistic physical activities to show clients they can enjoy engaging with the world without drugs or alcohol. Examples of experiential therapy include art, music, meditation, outdoor, and equine assisted therapy.

IOP is designed for those whose symptoms don’t require close monitoring by staff, but it can also be used as a transitional program by those who complete the inpatient program. IOP is focused on individual and group therapy, where clients meet at the facility for a few hours a day throughout the week. IOP also has a family therapy component.

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
