A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get help: The Medical University of South Carolina has a very strong Addiction Treatment department run by Dr. Katherine Brady, and they would be a good place to start. Many kinds of treatment are available, depending on what you are using, for what reasons, and for how long. Short and long-term detoxification, drug-free, and maintenance treatments are available, as well as residential programs & NA/AA.
