About

About Mississippi Drug and Alcohol

Mississippi Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center, also known as MSDATC, sits on Reece Bergeron Road in Biloxi, just inland from the Gulf Coast. The center is family-owned and operated, founded and led by Dr. Sandi Carlson, PhD, MAAP, who serves as both owner and chief executive. The clinical leadership team includes Chief Clinical Officer Kristie Slinskey, DSW, LCSW, Medical Director Dr. Dustin Marmalich, MD, and Addictionologist Dr. Pamela Tambini, MD. Together they have built a program that emphasizes individualized treatment plans over one-size-fits-all programming, delivered in a homelike rather than institutional setting.

The full continuum of care is offered on site. Patients can begin in medical detox, step into residential treatment, transition to partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient (IOP), and continue with traditional outpatient care and an aftercare relapse-prevention program. A separate Mental Health PHP track is available for patients whose primary clinical need is psychiatric stabilization. Drug addiction, alcohol use disorder, dual-diagnosis presentations, trauma- and PTSD-related conditions, and broader co-occurring disorders are all within scope.

MSDATC has built a dedicated veteran recovery program and is explicit about welcoming military veterans, including those with VA or TRICARE coverage. The veteran track includes specific clinical content addressing drug addiction, alcohol abuse, dual diagnosis, and trauma in a military context. Family involvement is structured through a formal Family Program, and the program follows evidence-based protocols anchored by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other modalities.

The facility holds the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval, signifying compliance with national standards for patient safety and clinical quality. MSDATC accepts private insurance, TRICARE, VA coverage, PrimeWell Health, state insurance, self-pay, sliding scale, and financial assistance. The admissions line at 855-334-6120 is available 24/7 to begin insurance verification and admission planning. Google reviews currently average 4.6 across 88 reviews, and the alumni community contributes ongoing testimonials about the program’s homelike feel and supportive staff.
