The new CARPS SC site, located at 104 Jessamine Street in Darlington, officially opened its doors Last week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony sponsored by the Greater Darlington Chamber of Commerce.
A large crowd filled the interior space as community members, local leaders, and supporters gathered to mark the occasion and celebrate the expansion of recovery support services in the area.
Darlington Mayor Curtis Boyd, along with City Councilmembers Elaine Reed and Angela McRavin, were on hand for the event. Each offered remarks congratulating the organization on its continued success and welcoming the service to the Darlington community. Officials emphasized the importance of accessible recovery resources and praised the program’s commitment to serving individuals and families affected by substance use disorder.
CARPS SC stands for Certified Addiction Recovery Professionals of South Carolina. The organization focuses on certifying individuals to provide peer support services for those struggling with substance use disorder. Often affiliated with or referred to in the context of the Addiction Professionals of South Carolina, the program equips trained recovery professionals to walk alongside individuals on their path to healing.
The organization’s mission extends beyond supporting those in active recovery. CARPS SC also works closely with families who are navigating the challenges that accompany addiction. By offering peer support, advocacy, and education, the program aims to strengthen not only individuals but the broader community.
Specialists shared that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey, and having certified peer support professionals available locally can make a meaningful difference. The program supports individuals who are seeking recovery as well as those working to maintain long-term sobriety.
In addition to direct support services, CARPS SC is part of a broader community recovery effort that includes advocacy initiatives and community education programs designed to reduce stigma and increase awareness about substance use disorder.
Community members interested in learning more about the services offered at the new Darlington location can contact CARPS SC at (843) 506-0952 or visit their website at www.carpssc.com
With strong community backing and city leadership support, the new CARPS SC site is poised to play a vital role in promoting hope, healing, and recovery throughout Darlington and the surrounding areas.
