  • The clinical staff is top notch and their support staff are equally impressive. After 15 years of working in the treatment field I am still very confident when I refer families to Lantana.

How do you know if you need Alcohol Addiction in Charleston? — a checklist infographic

What treatment for alcohol use can look like at our Charleston location

A client came to us after daily drinking had quietly taken over evenings and then mornings, until it started showing up at work. They entered PHP first, with a recovery manager and PMHNP involved from day one to manage the early medical and psychiatric side, then stepped down into IOP as the daily structure of group and individual therapy took hold. By the time they moved to standard outpatient care, the routines built in PHP were the thing carrying them forward.

What Are the Common Signs of Alcohol Addiction?

The most common signs of alcohol addiction are listed below with severity levels and health implications.

01.ModerateIncreased Alcohol Tolerance

Needing larger amounts of alcohol to achieve the same effects once felt with smaller quantities. The body adapts to regular use by altering brain chemistry, so a person may not appear affected even at high amounts.

Health Risks: Rising tolerance signals growing physical dependence and a heightened risk of overdose as use escalates beyond safe limits.

02.HighWithdrawal Symptoms

Physical or emotional symptoms — such as nausea, sweating, shaking, anxiety, irritability, or insomnia — that appear when alcohol use is cut back or stopped.

Health Risks: Withdrawal from some substances can be medically dangerous and should be managed with professional, supervised care rather than attempted alone.

03.HighFailed Attempts to Cut Back or Stop

Repeated, unsuccessful efforts to reduce or quit alcohol — often using more, or for longer, than intended despite a genuine desire to stop.

Health Risks: Loss of control is a core feature of addiction and rarely resolves without structured treatment and ongoing support.

04.ModerateDisruption to Daily Life

Continued alcohol use despite mounting problems at work, school, or home — including strained relationships, financial trouble, and neglected responsibilities.

Health Risks: Using despite clear consequences indicates the disorder is progressing and affecting multiple areas of life.

05.ModerateCo-Occurring Mental Health Symptoms

Anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma that drives — or is worsened by — alcohol use, creating a cycle that is difficult to break alone.

Health Risks: Untreated co-occurring conditions raise relapse risk; integrated dual-diagnosis care treats both the addiction and the mental health condition together.

This place is absolutely amazing, from the doctor to the therapists to the staff! They really care and they understand because most of them have been in our shoes. The women I was surrounded by were so uplifting — I was truly blessed to have gotten the help that I did from Lantana. They show you what it feels like to have sober fun! The people I met at Lantana will always have a special place in my heart.

Kaela CummingsGoogle review · Charleston, SC

★★★★★
This is my first experience with a recovery center. The entire staff was very true to me my entire stay. Jen delivered very powerful messages when she directed class. Scott totally gets me and is very easy to talk to. Ashley is a powerful ball of energy and wonderful at what she does. William truly related to me and to what my needs were. I was blown away by the professionalism and structure that Lantana offered. Lantana has given me the tools and confidence that I need for a successful recovery!

Danny AvenelGoogle review · Charleston, SC

★★★★★
My only regret about this place is that I didn't come here sooner! I recently completed the PHP program here. I immediately felt a positive and welcoming energy walking through the doors. My recovery manager was on the ball and I immediately felt I could trust him. My therapist was amazing and I got a lot out of our one-on-ones and group sessions. The classes were very informative and helped me shape an entirely different perspective on life. I left there a different person. Thank y'all so much for helping me get my life back, my family back, and a strong foundation to build on.

Steven StrongGoogle review · Charleston, SC

★★★★★
I arrived at Lantana a broken, miserable, lost soul. I left Lantana six weeks later with the knowledge and acceptance that I was an alcoholic. Lantana both saved my life and gave me life. I stayed at the mother's house for three months and attended IOP sessions three times weekly, which helped me grow in the understanding of my disease and how to cope. Almost 7 months after discharge, I stay in touch with these beautiful souls. I am 69 and have such faith, joy, and curiosity in the life I have left to live.

Polly A.Google review · Charleston, SC

Lantana provides amazing opportunities for people to succeed. The staff and therapists are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I had a great experience.

Sara KellerGoogle review · Charleston, SC

★★★★★
Before I went to Lantana I was living an absolute mess of a life. This establishment has given me the tools to a better way of living! Everyone's experience is different — they teach you to take accountability for yourself. You get out what you put in, and they REALLY care and support you. Loving and caring staff that has your back. Reach out and get help if you need it!

Trevor ThomasonGoogle review · Charleston, SC

★★★★★
Lantana saved my life. I've been to multiple rehabs and Lantana stands out. Such a great staff. They helped me build a foundation and I'm now over 2 years sober. They teach you how to live life and have fun again, without substances.
