Behavioral Health Services in Horry County
Mental health is an important part of your health. Little River Medical Center provides behavioral health care as part of your regular medical care, so support is available in the same place you already see your doctor, at locations across Horry County. Our team helps adults, teens, and children work through depression, anxiety, grief, stress, trauma, and substance use. Because behavioral health sits alongside primary care here, your providers can work together on the full picture of your health. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial plans, and we see uninsured patients on a sliding fee scale. Behavioral health care is available to established LRMC patients.
If you or someone you know is in crisis or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any time, day or night. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Care built into your medical home
Many people never follow through on a referral to an outside therapist. Keeping behavioral health inside the same organization as your primary care removes that gap. Your doctor and your counselor can share a record and a plan, which matters most for conditions like depression and diabetes that affect each other.
Medication assisted treatment
For patients working to recover from opioid or alcohol use, we offer medication assisted treatment that pairs medication with counseling and support. Learn more on our Medication Assisted Treatment page.
Coverage and getting started
We offer individualized care plans for adults, teens and children; and we encourage family participation.
The goal of our integrated behavioral health services is to improve your overall well-being by helping you develop techniques to resolve health or mental health issues affecting your daily life.
You must be a LRMC patient to receive integrated behavioral health services.
We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial insurance, and we offer a sliding fee scale for uninsured patients based on household size and income. Behavioral health services are for established LRMC patients, so the first step is to become a patient or talk with your current LRMC provider about a referral.
