About G Werber Bryan Psychiatric Hospital

G Werber Bryan Psychiatric Hospital is a specialized inpatient treatment center in Columbia, South Carolina. When it comes to addiction treatment, they have an inpatient unit for adolescents and kids with substance use disorder. They also offer inpatient treatment for those with psychiatric conditions.

Keep in mind that while they treat adults here for psychiatric conditions, they don’t have an adult program for drug and alcohol addiction. They only have one for adolescents and children. It’s also important to note that adults are treated in a separate building from adolescents and kids, so your child will get treatment with others their own age.

This facility is a public hospital that’s run by the South Carolina Department of Mental Health. The kids and teens who come here for addiction treatment can come voluntarily. They can also be referrals from the family court system, the Department of Juvenile Justice or local community centers and emergency departments.

It's a mad house, cop on staff did nothing to help when a woman I was there with got hit, just because she laughed in the face of another patient. Seriously, they can do better. I'll be honest, if you go there and have no insurance you're looking at 12 grand in fees for a two week stay. Don't sign the paperwork, just go somewhere else for help.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

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

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.
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.
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.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

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.

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.

I get that in this type of places sometimes the staff needs to be tough and be mean to get the patient to collaborate, I get it, but they don't need to be rude and make you feel like you're worth nothing.

Never been here before but based on what I ve read from the clients it does not sound very good. This is why I wanted to educate anyone reading this. Mental health is significantly important. I ll start by saying I suffer from an anxiety disorder. It runs in my family on my mom s side. An anxiety disorder is where you brain constantly misfires thinking a threat is around. The primitive part of your brain over reacts because something is wrong with your Amygdala in your brain. It is genetic but the environment can bring out genetic predispositions. Anxiety disorder is an umbrella term there can be many anxiety disorders such as OCD, generalized, social etc etc. Everyone has anxiety however everyone does NOT suffer from it constantly for no reason that is the difference. Growing up my entire life I knew I was different but it was all my anxiety disorder. I have OCD and not the clean kind but the thought kind many autistic individuals have. I also have rare physical disorders that coexist with my mental disorders. The brain is an organ like any other. Everyone goes through a rough patch but not everyone has a FAULTY brain. Please educate yourselves on mental health for the sake of those committing suicide and suffering everyday of their lives and being openly ostracized and discriminated against by society. We are in an age of unlimited knowledge at our fingertips- ignorance is a choice at this point.

This place is horrific, I will forever be traumatized from witnessing other patients having a complete psychotic episode and the nurses chasing them to give them an injection of haloperidol or risperidone then putting them in the room where I assume they are then monitored, the patients said that s where they were. I don t what that room is like as I wasn't there for anything like that. I was a patient in February of 2013 and for privacy reasons I am not using my real name. I was sent to Bryan for trying to unalive myself, which is probably the last place a suicidal patient should be sent. I was threatened by patients who said I was trying to steal their husband and they d get me so I needed to watch my back. The doctors if they want to call themselves doctors abruptly pulled me off my anxiety medication after leaving I ended up being sent to the ER straight from my primary care doctor because my heart rate was in the 150 s (27 year old, healthy woman, healthy weight, no high BP or any other negative contributing factors) I was at risk for a heart attack or worse. Those of us who ve been patients or have family who were patients leaving reviews and spreading awareness is the only way we will ever get a system that s very obviously broken fixed. It s really sad that some of the most vulnerable in the overall population are subjected to treatment (or lack of) so horrific.

My wife spent more than 3 months there in 2007. She had been dumped from one treatment facility to another, finally ending up at G. Werber. She was undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed all over the lowcountry. Psychiatric hospitals are not always what we'd hope they'd be. Sometimes ever places that look great do not provide effective care. The doctors and medical staff as I recall were decent enough. I remember the actual buildings most vividly. Undeniably they were stark. The staff there undoubtedly have their work cut out for them ; to treat patients that nowhere else could help. And to care for those, like my wife, who are not financially able to pay. I know support staff sleep there while on duty. Maybe the clinical staff do too. What I am certain of, this is the good part, is that when my wife got out there was a treatment plan in place, she was given resources to use and now, about a decade later she is pretty good for being bipolar with meds, and a support group.Werner G Bryan is state run. Look to the politicians for money to fix the buildings and insure staff are well trained, thoroughly screened, and paid enough so their job matters.GOD bless those that still need help. There is hope.

I would like to give 5 stars, but the other comments make me weary. To my knowledge, this place is very helpful. They help my little brother regain mental stability and let me visit him often. When I speak to him, he mentions nothing about the other terrible reviews I've read. I will dig deeper into these reviews, but from my experince, this place is helpful and gives people a second chance at life. I love how the staff is helpful, and I love how easy it is to check in on your loved ones. I do however wish that I can bring in outside food.

LOW WAGES, GOVERNMENT COULD CARE LESS, ABOUT FUNDING MENTAL HEALTH, ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS ARE STIGMA, DISCRIMINATION AND OUTTA SIGHT OUTTA MIND. YES I WAS THERE 3 DAYS. THAT WAS 3 DAYS TOO MANY. FUND MENTAL HEALTH. BECAUSE PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THE MENTALLY ILL (DISABLED) WALKING AROUND AND IN ER'S. WELL FUND IT.WE ARE NOT A PIECE OF TRASH OR SOMEONE TO LOOK DOWN ON, MAKE FUN OF, BECAUSE ANYONE OF THE ONES WHO DO THOSE THINGS(AND IT WILL) HAPPEN TO YOU. MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM IS A SHAMEFUL POSITION TO BE IN. SO THINK ABOUT IT AND IT COULD BE YOU.
