How to Choose Treatment in Greenville

If you’re trying to find the best care for your needs in Greenville, you’ll find detox, residential, outpatient, long-term recovery housing, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT). Pregnant people and those who use substances intravenously receive priority admission to detox centers. While detox — including 24/7 detox — is available, beds may fill up quickly. If this happens and you need immediate care, you can call programs for a referral and ask for bridge care while you wait. If you are on South Carolina Medicaid, you should be eligible for rehab coverage. Most private insurance plans are accepted, and if you don’t have insurance, there are free or very low-cost programs available. Some providers may be able to arrange payment assistance. If you are looking for specialized or luxury residential programs — or residential care for adolescent girls — you’ll likely need to look beyond Greenville. 

Can I start detox in Greenville today?

Yes — help can start today. Call a clinic or local hospital to begin medication for withdrawal and stabilization. Call first to confirm space. 

• Phoenix Center Detox: 864-467-3770

• The Carolina Center for Behavioral Health: 864-235-2335 

When you call, ask about language services and Greenlink Transit access as needed. If they’re full, ask for bridge care (telehealth, interim medications, groups) so you can start right away.

Do I need to travel for rehab, or is care available in Greenville?

You usually don’t have to travel. Greenville offers detox, inpatient, outpatient, MAT, telehealth, and sober living. If you are looking for residential care for teenage girls, LGBTQIA+-dedicated programs, or luxury amenities, you may need to travel. You may also need to look outside of Greenville if detox beds and recovery houses in the area are full. 

Paying for Addiction Treatment in Greenville

How much does rehab cost in Greenville?

Rehab prices can look overwhelming, but most people pay far less once insurance or financial aid is applied. Before you start treatment, ask for a written estimate, whether the program is in-network for your plan (and if prior authorization is required), and ask about sliding-scale fees or financial help. Learn more about the cost of rehab.

Are there free rehab programs in Greenville?

Yes — you can find free or low-cost programs in Greenville. If you don’t have insurance or resources, you can still get care through government-funded providers and nonprofit organizations. Start by dialing 2-1-1 for referrals, calling the Phoenix Center (Greenville County’s public substance use authority), or using the Free, Sliding Scale Fee, and Payment Assistance filter options on this directory to find no-cost and low-cost options. If you do have insurance, your plan may cover some or even the full cost of treatment — you’ll need to call the facility to confirm.

• South Carolina 2-1-1: Dial 2-1-1 for referrals to low- or no-cost treatment, transportation, shelters, and other supports. 

• Phoenix Center: Serving Greenville County, this center can connect you to sliding-fee and no-cost treatment options, as well as state block-grant funding through the South Carolina Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DAODAS).

• Faith-based programs: Miracle Hill Ministries’ Overcomers, Renewal, and Adult & Teen Challenge of South Carolina provide long-term, low-or-no-cost residential care. 

• Salvation Army: Call for help with referrals to nearby adult rehabilitation centers. 

• Emergency stabilization: In a crisis, (such as life-threatening withdrawal or intoxication), call 911 or S.C. Mobile Crisis at 1-833-364-2274 (or dial 988). Hospital emergency departments, such as Prisma Health Greenville Memorial, will stabilize you regardless of ability to pay. You may receive a bill later for hospital or transport services; financial-assistance programs are available through local hospitals.

Keep in mind there are many free non-clinical peer support and counseling resources available as well.

Best Rehabs in Greenville

What does “best” mean?

“Best” means best-for-you — care that matches your level of need, works with your insurance and budget, and fits your life (location, schedule, family). Start by listing what you need and what your plan covers, then choose an option you can start now and stick with. The programs below are examples of options that may be a good fit depending on your needs — explore them to see which might be right for you.

Facilities are included based on licensing, accreditations (when noted), years in operation, and endorsements from trusted local organizations. Always verify current availability and coverage. This is not a definitive ranking.

You can find several other established providers with residential, outpatient, and crisis/detox access in Greenville. Before you choose, call to make sure there are current openings, the level of care offered, and in-network coverage for your insurance plan. Ask for a written estimate and bridge care if beds are full.

What are the best rehabs for women in Greenville? 

One good option is Phoenix Center’s Serenity Place, a residential program that allows moms and preschool-aged children to live together during care and provides prenatal services for pregnant women.

Two noteworthy Christian residential programs are Miracle Hill Ministries’ Overcomers for men and Renewal for women. Both are donation-funded and low-cost.

Choosing the Right Rehab

How do I choose the right level of care?

Start with an independent assessment from a clinician who specializes in substance use problems and isn’t employed by a treatment center. They can help you choose between treatment options like outpatient, residential, hospital inpatient, withdrawal management (detox), and medications used alongside therapy. Learn more about choosing the right rehab for your needs. 

Who can help me choose the best rehab in Greenville right now?

Call the SC HOPES line (1-844-724-6737) for 24/7 clinical support and navigation. You can also contact Phoenix Center intake (864-467-3790) for assessments and local referrals. FAVOR Upstate can help you with free peer navigation and coaching. When you call, say: “I’m in Greenville and need [detox/IOP/residential]; I have [South Carolina Medicaid/private insurance/other]. Do you have openings this week?”

How can I check if a Greenville rehab is licensed (and accredited)?

Before you choose, look up whether a facility is licensed by the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH). If you’re unsure, call and ask the facility for its license number or call DAODAS to verify. You can also ask about national accreditation (The Joint Commission or CARF). Accreditation isn’t required, but it’s a useful extra quality signal. Learn more about accreditation and other indicators of quality care.
