Editorial Review

<p><strong>ABOUT MUSC HEALTH – CENTER FOR DRUG & ALCOHOL PROGRAMS</strong></p> <p>The Center for Drug and Alcohol Programs (CDAP) is part of the Medical University of South Carolina’s (MUSC) Institute of Psychiatry. Located in Charleston, S.C., the center offers a comprehensive suite of services for <strong>adults and adolescents</strong>. Programs include inpatient detox and treatment, outpatient treatment, buprenorphine maintenance, interventions, and specialized programming for teens.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>CDAP’s inpatient program is designed for individuals who require <strong>crisis stabilization and/or medical detoxification</strong>. Most inpatient participants stay on-site for three to seven days, but CDAP’s intensive outpatient program (IOP) is lengthier and more comprehensive. Most clients remain in the IOP for four weeks and attend groups and sessions Monday through Friday. Treatment consists of <strong>individual counseling, group therapy, family activities, and education</strong>. CDAP’s approach utilizes several treatment modalities, including medication management, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and <strong>12-step facilitation.</strong></p> <p>Called ASSET, the center’s programming for adolescents has two tracks: prevention and treatment. The prevention track, designed for youth with a minimal substance abuse history, involves one-hour classes four times weekly where clients address addiction, the negative impact of substances on the adolescent brain, and <strong>peer refusal skills</strong>. The treatment track is for teens with an established substance abuse history. It consists of <strong>twice-weekly group meetings</strong> for eight weeks, as well as <strong>individual or family therapy</strong>.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Key members of CDAP’s treatment team include medical doctors and Ph.D. level therapists. Reviewers polled by Rehabs.com rated staff’s level of experience and training at CDAP 4.8 out of five stars.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>CDAP’s inpatient program is located within a hospital, so incoming clients can expect a somewhat <strong>clinical environment</strong>. Five alumni and their loved ones surveyed by Rehabs.com gave the facility an average <strong>4.2 out of five stars</strong> for accommodations while four gave 4.8 stars for meals and 4.3 stars for cleanliness, although one reviewer commented on the <strong>lack of exercise options</strong>.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Two alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date gave CDAP <strong>mixed-to-positive ratings</strong>, with alum A.F.K. rating the facility three out of five stars in holistic treatment options, four stars in group counseling, and five stars for the level of staff support. Alum S.K. rated the facility three stars in affordability and five stars in family participation. Both alumni left <strong>positive comments regarding treatment from staff.</strong></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The three loved ones surveyed by Rehabs.com to date recommended CDAP with a 4.8-out-of-five-star recommendation. They rated the facility at 4.7 stars for the staff’s level of experience and training and family participation, and four stars for its counseling options. Loved ones’ comments <strong>praised the staff and left little criticism</strong>.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>On Indeed, 267 current and former employees to date rated the Medical University of South Carolina an average <strong>four out of five stars</strong>, with an average 3.7 rating in company culture and 3.4 stars in management.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Comments were mostly positive, focusing on the <strong>friendly culture</strong>, although a couple reviewers criticized the hospital’s <strong>lack of proper training</strong>. One employee wrote: “No supervision, no training. A lot of stress that makes it difficult to keep working.”</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>MUSC participates in some managed care networks and accepts some Medicaid plans.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Medical-University-of-South-Carolina/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Medical-University-of-South-Carolina/reviews</a></small></p>
