LRADAC

What LRADAC does

LRADAC is a private nonprofit behavioral health organization founded in 1978 that provides substance use treatment and prevention services across the Midlands region of South Carolina. It operates two physical locations — 2711 Colonial Drive in Columbia (Richland County) and 1068 South Lake Drive in Lexington — delivering a full continuum of care that includes an Assessment Center/Admissions intake, adult outpatient treatment (including Medication for Opioid Use Disorder, the MOMS maternal outreach program, and the Recovering Professionals Program), residential treatment, medical detoxification, the ADSAP court-ordered DUI program, youth and teen treatment, family services, and community prevention programming. Patient access occurs through walk-in assessments, a dedicated admissions line (803-726-9390), online referral forms, and structured agency referrals from healthcare providers, employers, and the court system.

Revenue is generated primarily from billed treatment services paid by insurance or self-pay patients, supplemented by the LRADAC Foundation's Recovery Assistance Fund, which subsidizes care for uninsured and economically disadvantaged individuals. Pricing is structured around a sliding-scale/financial-assistance model rather than fixed fee schedules, with monthly billing cadence. The go-to-market motion is community-led: LRADAC relies on agency referrals, walk-ins, corporate partnerships (notably the Rock 4 Recovery concert ecosystem including Dominion Energy, iHeartMedia, Lamar Advertising, Colonial Life, Ameris Bank, First Citizens, and others), and active social media presence on Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram. No external AI/ML, proprietary technology platform, or enterprise software product is part of the offering; the technology stack consists of a website, online referral portal, and ADP-based HR/careers system. HIPAA compliance governs patient data handling.
