Daniel Island is a tough place to get sober
If you’re trying to get sober yourself, take a look at our list of resources for getting sober in Charleston, SC. Trying to avoid alcohol in the lowcountry without a little bit of help is a bit like trying to avoid mosquitoes here in August. Everywhere you turn in the lowcountry there’s a reason to drink. On the golf course at the Daniel Island Club, watching the game at one of our local bars, or sometimes just in our Tervis walking around town. Our culture here is one that celebrates overindulgence.
And this is a small neighborhood. So we have every incentive to keep our heads down and hide from the shame that an addiction can bring into our family. Sometimes we don’t even want to think about what our loved one did last night. But many of your neighbors have been to treatment and come out the other side better for it. You’d be surprised at how many people are living beautiful lives in recovery here on Daniel Island – it’s even home to several different 12-Step groups!
Working with Stop Pause Play means creating a discreet, quiet intervention for your loved one. One that focuses and respects the privacy of your family, is focused on healing for the long term, and one that is tailored to your unique situation. Schedule your First Call Now

Schedule your First Call NowDon’t wait for your loved one to “find their bottom." If your loved one is suffering from addiction, please know that it is a progressive disease. The longer you wait, the more dangerous of a situation you will be in. Hundreds of thousands of people die each year from drug and alcohol-related deaths every year. Don’t let your loved one’s bottom be at their funeral.
How our process works
From the start we will start crafting a strategy for long-term recovery. Our objective is not to get your loved one to go to rehab, our objective is to get your loved one healthy. In-patient Treatment is one of the tools we use for that long term recovery. During our first call call we will craft a list of people to invite to the initial “family meeting,” including your loved one.
At that family meeting, we’ll discus your family’s strengths and resiliencies. From there we will draft a strategy, with the whole family, including your loved one of concern should they choose to participate. The strategy will include treatment options for your loved one, as well as resources for each member of the family that has been impacted by the disease.
While your loved one is in treatment, we will work as their chief advocate, to make sure that they get the most out of treatment. We will also work together as a family to understand more about disease and determine what needs to be worked on within the family to prepare for your loved one’s return.
Treatment centers we work with
Look, we’ll be straight with you: there are a lot of rotten treatment centers out there. Many of them have been purchased in the past few decades by private equity firms who are seeking to squeeze out every ounce of profit from their facility. Some of them even budget for people to return. This makes them financially dependent upon relapses.
At Stop Pause Play, our bottom line is your recovery, not their profit. We want to put the disease into long-term remission, so we regularly meet with treatment centers, develop relationships with their clinical staff, and only send our clients to facilities who are aligned with our mission: recovery first. Our job is not to get your loved one into treatment, it’s to get them recovered.
After Treatment
After treatment, we work with the family to monitor success. We will continue to meet weekly for up to six months, monitoring progress and helping the family stay vigilant. Should it be desired, we will provide active monitoring of drug tests and breathalyzer data, and share that with relevant family members.
