During a recent FOX Carolina interview, RCA at Greenville Medical Director Dr. Jeffrey Harris explained how addiction affects both the body and the mind. Alcohol and drugs can worsen physical health and contribute to serious mental health symptoms, including cognitive impairment, confusion, and symptoms that may resemble dementia or schizophrenia. These effects can intensify during periods of stress, isolation, or exposure to extreme weather.

At our facility in Greenville, South Carolina, patient comfort is a critical part of the recovery journey. We focus on creating a warm, welcoming environment where individuals feel safe, supported, and cared for from the moment they arrive. Patients have access to spaces and activities that support whole-person healing, including fitness areas, yoga, art therapy, sober recreational activities, and opportunities to build community during their stay.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is also an important component of care for many patients. When clinically appropriate, MAT can help reduce cravings and lower the risk of relapse, supporting long-term recovery outcomes.

No matter the season, compassionate, evidence-based care can make a life-changing difference.
