Kennedy Center

Kennedy center provides comprehensive outpatient services for adults, adolescents, and families dealing with substance use disorders (alcohol, opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, marijuana), mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma), and co-occurring issues (dual diagnosis).

The center’s approach is client-centered and evidence-based, emphasizing accessibility, cultural sensitivity, and long-term recovery in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Treatment begins with thorough assessments by licensed clinicians, counselors, and psychiatrists to develop individualized plans that address each person’s unique needs, history, and recovery goals.

Core outpatient programs include Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Standard Outpatient, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol use disorders (using buprenorphine, naltrexone, or other approved medications when appropriate), and crisis intervention services. Therapies incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, relapse prevention, anger management, life skills training, individual therapy, group counseling, and family therapy. Specialized tracks support adolescents (with strong family involvement), adults, women, and those with co-occurring disorders.

The Moncks Corner location offers convenient scheduling with morning, afternoon, and evening sessions to accommodate work, school, and family life. Services also include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, case management, peer support, community resource referrals, and aftercare planning with connections to 12-Step groups or ongoing support.

The facility features professional counseling rooms, group therapy spaces, and a welcoming atmosphere that promotes trust and healing. Kennedy Center prioritizes affordability and accessibility, accepting a wide range of insurances and offering sliding-scale fees for uninsured or underinsured clients.

Fully licensed by the South Carolina Department of Mental Health (DMH) and the Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS), the center maintains high standards for quality and safety. Clients and families often commend the dedicated, compassionate staff, effective programs, and positive impact on mental health, sobriety, and family relationships.
