South Strand Internists

South Strand Internists provides outpatient substance abuse treatment for adults in Myrtle Beach and Horry County, South Carolina. Outpatient care is often the right fit for people who have moved beyond an acute phase and are focused on maintaining and deepening their recovery over time — attending appointments, managing responsibilities, and staying connected to their community while receiving consistent clinical support.

Operating within the Grand Strand Physicians network, the program brings a primary care infrastructure to outpatient addiction treatment. The clinic is open five days a week, making it realistic for people in recovery to build treatment into a working adult schedule rather than putting life on hold.

Many people seeking recovery center support are managing more than addiction alone. South Strand Internists treats both substance use disorders and mental health disorders — a combined focus that reflects the clinical reality that these conditions often appear together and can complicate one another when treated separately.

For adults in the Myrtle Beach area looking for an outpatient program that takes mental health seriously alongside addiction treatment, this dual-focus approach means that care addresses the full picture rather than just one dimension of a person's needs.

South Strand Internists explicitly serves LGBTQ adults alongside the general adult population. For LGBTQ individuals navigating substance abuse treatment, finding a program that acknowledges and includes them is not a minor detail — it can affect engagement, trust, and ultimately outcomes in recovery.

This commitment to serving LGBTQ people as a confirmed population reflects an awareness that recovery communities are stronger when they are genuinely accessible to everyone. Adults in Myrtle Beach and across Horry County who identify as LGBTQ can seek outpatient treatment here without that aspect of their identity being an afterthought.

South Strand Internists operates as a weekday outpatient program, open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5 PM and Friday from 8:30 AM to 4 PM. The facility is closed on weekends. For adults building a recovery routine, this schedule supports regular, recurring contact with treatment without requiring overnight stays or extended residential commitments.

The outpatient format is particularly relevant for people who are in the maintenance or longer-term phases of recovery — those who benefit from ongoing clinical support but are living and functioning in the community. Reaching the team directly at (843) 236-1950 is the best first step for anyone exploring whether this outpatient program is the right fit for their recovery plan.
