Very aggressive large lady at front desk who talked over me and would not listen. My son was referred to clinic and they proceeded to say that they never received paperwork. Then continued to say he wouldn't get seen for a couple weeks even tho I tried to explain he was referred and I had a copy of referral and prescription information from his release by the hospital. After getting the run around, being talked over and down too they proceeded to say they couldn't help him

Accepted Insurance

Pickens Mental Health Clinic works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

If you struggle with managing your emotions, dialectical behavior therapy in South Carolina might be a good method of treatment for you. This form of talk therapy helps you learn to accept yourself while working on changing unhealthy patterns of thoughts and reactions.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Men and women in South Carolina undergoing individual therapy work closely with their therapist to address the personal challenges and lifestyle changes that can help address addiction triggers. You have a unique situation and your therapist will spend time helping you develop healthy coping strategies so you can work toward achieving and maintaining sobriety.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

During couples therapy in South Carolina, a licensed therapist offers techniques for how both partners can resolve conflict and manage challenges in the relationship. The couple may also engage in individual or family therapy for further support.

The goal of all family therapy sessions is to support their loved one's recovery effectively by learning new and healthy communication skills as well as ways of managing stress and resolving conflicts. This helps improve interactions and addresses underlying issues within the family that often influence recovery.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

As you use nicotine replacement therapy, you can gradually decrease your nicotine consumption over several weeks. This gives your brain time to adjust to the change, so you experience less severe cravings and withdrawal.

The psychologist and the psychiatric were nice, but the administrative staff is very awful! They don't schedule you right and if you have a problem they blame the patients. If you need help, this place is a joke, don't waste your time with this organization.

I am unable to give them a zero ! Dealt with them for over 18 years with my son ! Problems after problem ! The solution was always mor medication ! I did my research a mixture of uppers and downers hmmm that's not a good combination ! I can't even count the hospitalizations because I did the paperwork ! They never saw an issue ! Excuse me it's an issue when my son is trying to light me on fire yes literally ! Punching me and assaulting me so after various arrests which didn't have to happen if he was properly handled we were left over 30 days no meds ! Now I'm not a dr but I don't have to be to know that a person with extensive mh problems who is not.medicated is a danger ! After a month of no meds he finally gets meds and yes I know it takes time to start working ! His brilliant counselor advises him to get out and have fun. Hmmmm get out while your.meds aren't working fully and take a risk you might get hurt or wait hurt someone else ! I've reported them to the ombudsman today again the 4th time in our history ! Second issue my ex husband showed up in the clinic threatening to kill me and our daughter and himself did anyone notify us we might be in danger no they sent him to the er. Thankfully a socially worker felt it was necessary! Even though I was listed.to have all his info so it wasn't a hippa violation.! This place is beyond a joke ! If you or your loved one has a mh issue please seek help elsewhere ! You're just a number here ! They're funded by the number of clients and they charge your insurance! Like I said a negative 10 wouldn't be appropriate!

My son was court ordered to this clinic after being hospitalized for psychosis. 6 months later, I was really unhappy with Pickens Mental Health Clinic.HOWEVER, it's been over 3 years working with these guys now. My son goes at least once a month, and Dr. N, who once seemed completely cold and gruff has gained my son's trust. Also the nurse we work with, Dawn, is absolutely brilliant with my son, and a wonderful person in general.In retrospect, my initial negative opinion about this clinic may have had more to do with the overwhelming difficulty of our situation than I gave credit for at the time. I'm sure a lot of negative reviews come from the same place, "WHY CAN'T YOU DO MORE TO HELP MY LOVED ONE?".. Unfortunately some things just aren't that easy to help with.I wish they could do more for him, but I'm grateful they are there, and I'm grateful Dawn and Dr N have built a relationship with my son.Thanks for all you do, guys. Dawn, you're the best!

Let me give you some advice Pickens mental health. When you meet a potential client who pays your paycheck use your words and introduce yourself. Be courteous and kind. We are watching your actions. Seems you weren't taught any manners.

Just by the first time phone Convo I had I know I'm not even going to my first appt. I explained to the person on the phone that I used to be on 150 mg Zoloft and that it did not help, & that I wanted to be actually assessed instead of just thrown meds. I was basically told, "Um that much Zoloft should have worked." When I expressed my concerns of possible PTSD I was asked, "What do you think you have PTSD from?" I feel like that's something that should be spoke of in person and not asked randomly on the phone by a stranger. He also had a very "yea ok here we go" tone to him that immediately made me feel not believed. I think I will stay home!

Front desk always messes up appt and reschedules them. You can never get in contact with providers when medicine refills are needed. If there was other providers that had a open spot, no one would use this provider! Shut it down!!
