Remember, exercise is good for your physical health, but it can help reduce stress and anxiety, which are two leading factors that contribute to addiction.

Sober Friendly Attractions for Charleston Residents

Once you return home to Charleston after completing rehab at Legacy in South Florida, it’s vital to settle into a healthy pattern as you adjust back to normal life. You can accomplish this by attending 12-step meetings, and we also recommend you set aside time to visit some of the sober friendly attractions in and around the Charleston area.

Visiting these venues alone can serve as a way to learn more about yourself now that you are in recovery. You can also attend with a group of friends or family members that you are trying to grow close with, now that you are in a better place in your life.

Here are some suggestions or places to visit:

Fort Sumter

Charleston is filled with historical locations that played a role in our nation’s history from the Revolutionary War up through the Civil War. An example of one such place is Fort Sumter. Fort Sumter was a bittersweet site during the Revolutionary War with a tremendous victory in 1776 and a devastating defeat in 1780. On April 12, 1861, the first shots of the Civil War rang out, which forever changed the United States. You will need to access Fort Sumter by boat, but keep in mind that the ferry schedule changes depending on the season.

Fort Sumter is located at 340 Concord Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29401.

The Williams Mansion

The Williams Mansion solidified its place in history by hosting George Washington three times in 1791. George Williams was considered a true patriot as well as a well-known banker and businessman. Today, the house is still a private residence. However, certain sections of the mansion are available for tours to the general public. Tour typically begin at 11 AM during certain times of the year with the last one starting at 5 PM.

You can visit The Williams Mansion at 16 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29401.

Francis Marion National Forest

Do you enjoy being in the great outdoors? If the answer is yes, you should plan to take the short drive out to the Francis Marion National Forest. This national forest is located just north of the center of Charleston. Visitors have the opportunity to walk a variety of trails carved throughout the lush green trees. If you are not up for a hike, you can opt to camp, mountain bike, or even go for a horseback ride. Different recreational activities are only available during specific times during the week, so you may want to check ahead before you visit.  

The Francis Marion National Forest is located at 2967 Steed Creek Road, Huger, South Carolina 29450.
