Charleston County's Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services, commonly known as Charleston Center, is dedicated to providing comprehensive substance use prevention, intervention, education, and treatment services. The center's mission is to support the residents of Charleston County in leading productive lives free from the effects of alcohol, other drugs, and addictive behaviors, fostering active recovery for those impacted by addiction.
