Admissions

Let’s figure out
your next step.

Reach out for yourself, someone you love, or someone in your care. Admissions can explain the program and discuss current availability.

Start with a conversation

Call 843-874-8709 to discuss the housing you need, your preferred location, and the support that matters to you. Every application receives an individual review.

The program serves men in the Charleston area. Tell admissions about your work, treatment schedule, and any accommodations you need.

Screening and program fit

Both homes accept prescribed medications, including all forms of medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Read our medication acceptance information.

Admissions reviews whether Lantern’s level of support fits your needs. Applicants should be seeking recovery-oriented housing and willing to participate in house structure and accountability. Drug and alcohol testing is part of intake, with prescribed medications and approved exceptions considered under program policy.

Lantern is a non-clinical housing program. People who need acute medical or psychiatric care require assessment by appropriate licensed professionals. Tell admissions about accommodation or support needs so they can be reviewed.

Review the details

  • Confirm availability and the location that fits your needs.
  • Ask about the intake fee and request the complete move-in costs in writing.
  • Review house rules, medication arrangements, and program expectations.
  • Ask about current sobriety and other move-in requirements.
  • Read the resident agreement and grievance and discharge procedures.

Read our approach to resident support and concerns.

Complete your application

Use Lantern’s existing application on BehaveHealth. The form opens on a separate website. Share application information through that form rather than in a general email.

Start your application

Submitting an application does not reserve a bed or guarantee admission. Confirm acceptance and move-in arrangements directly with admissions.

For family members and referral professionals

Call admissions to discuss the application process. Treatment centers, hospitals, courts, and community agencies can also connect with Lantern about referrals.
