Featured residential programs in South Carolina

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

What gay-friendly rehab looks like

The programs on this page are residential or hospital programs that report both an LGBTQ program or group and a program for adult men to SAMHSA. That doesn't mean they serve only gay men; it means they have structured groups where gay, bisexual and queer clients can talk openly.

Residential care gives you distance from triggers, a daily structure of therapy and support, and time to rebuild routines in South Carolina or wherever home is.

Cost and coverage

The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, length of stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides.
