Our Story

A private non-profit organization, ALPHA Behavioral Health Center operates as a standalone non-profit solely under the direction of a self-perpetuating Board of Directors.  The agency receives the majority of funding from State and Federal alcohol and drug abuse programs. The agency also contracts with local governmental, private businesses and other stakeholders to administer specific prevention, intervention and treatment programs. Private donations and grants are received for specialized programs. ALPHA Behavioral Health Center does not deny anyone services based on the inability to pay. A sliding schedule fee system is established based upon the Federal poverty guidelines and all persons served are informed of the sliding scale system. Self-paying clients are provided with a payment agreement plan.  South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHSS), the state’s Medicaid authority, contracts with ALPHA for the reimbursement of treatment services to Medicaid recipients. The agency currently accepts over six different private insurances and is actively being credentialed by other insurance providers to increase accessibility for persons served.
