Our Facility

Lighthouse Care Center of Conway Entrance

Lighthouse Care Center of Conway is located in Conway, South Carolina, just a few miles north of Myrtle Beach. We provide three levels of care and have six total programs. For adults 18 to 59 years of age, Lighthouse offers acute inpatient hospitalization for psychiatric and substance dependency issues. We also have a geriatric psychiatric unit for older adults (60+) who have a history of mental illness, are dealing with acute onset depression or who are experiencing agitation or aggression as the result of Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. All of these services are short-term in nature typically requiring a hospital stay of less than two weeks.

For adolescents Lighthouse Care Center has two levels of care. Our residential treatment facility (PRTF) is a 30-bed unit for males and females 12 to 21 years of age. This unit is a medical model program that also utilizes cognitive therapy to aid in the restoration of the resident to a more healthy mental and behavioral state of existence.

A second adolescent program is our Group Care Intensive Services (GCIS), or group home unit. This unit is a 26-bed social model program for males 12 to 21 years of age that have severe behavioral and conduct issues. A separate program for those with sexually reactive behaviors can be incorporated into either of the adolescent programs and be a part of the treatment process while an adolescent is in our care.

Lighthouse is a Joint Commission (JCAHO) accredited hospital. Medicare, Tricare and most commercial insurances will pay for our acute inpatient services. Medicaid will pay for adolescent services on the PRTF unit only.
