This place was touted to us as a facility for autistic people, but it is a horrific place. My son was repeatedly attacked and assaulted by other residents, but no one ever notified us when these injuries occurred. He now has PTSD. Run away fast!!!

Location

Accepted Insurance

Palmetto Pee Dee – Behavioral Health 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

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.

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.

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

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.
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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
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.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

SODAT is a great place to start your recovery! I know many who have succeeded thanks to them! I couldn't have done it without their help and support, they encouraged me like nobody else had.

The walls are falling apart from water damage and the ceiling leaks because of plumbing issues. The building is literally falling apart and old. Cockroaches and water bugs are found almost everyday in the bathrooms. Not meant to be a solution for foster children who can't be placed, (*cough cough*, everyone there...). Staff are rude and inexperienced, job doesn't pay well, and there are abusive environments. Over 80% quitting rate and staff are fired often. Therapists experienced but cannot do much to help. Children are beaten by other peers and are not being removed because of "safety issues". Reports to CPS have been made but little has been done to prevent these incidents from happening. Legal problems have appeared frequently and are currently being handled. Lawsuits have and are being filed against the facility. Overall not a place you want to be, work, or send someone to.

I was there from September 24th to December 12th of 2014. It was such a nightmare to where I had been diagnosed with PTSD because of it (at the time). Here's a rundown: The entire second floor smelled like feces, urine, and semen; most of the outside windows are blurred so that "the patients won't attract attention"; all the doors would either swing loosely or tightly; the hallway lights are on 24/7 (surveillance cameras, plus trouble sleeping); therapists wouldn't get to you for up to a month even though they're required to hold weekly sessions; all of the patients are either regular troubled kids/teens (like I was), juvenile criminals, or just innocent/violent rejects from their parents/guardians; I had seen a patient that had been there since 2009; the staff are almost all African-American (in a ghetto way); they basically let the "special patients" run around in the nude, yell their heads off, and "play" with themselves; I had seen a few patients eat earthworms in the courtyard cause they're so hungry; I'd seen them have their bones broken just from staff severely restraining and sometimes abusing them; I'd seen them get heavily sworn at by staff; I had seen patients steal each other's clothes (even mine); when the males get haircuts at the end of each month, they would have it shaved all off (I never had since I always denied); I had seen an entire room covered with feces before it was closed off (it stunk the hallway so bad we had to stay in the courtyard for a couple of hours so they can clear the mess); I had a $90 limited edition novel destroyed when a staff member allowed a mental patient into my room while I was away and, to this day, I never knew who had done it; for school, they would either let the patients run wild like it's normal or do class work and find out none of those assignments can go towards your regular school records; I had seen male patients get "romantic" with each other; I had nearly been touched by a patient while I was showering and had to fight them off while I was still bare ; the showers always malfunction; there's mold on the ceilings; the doors chipped a lot of paint; the floor tiles were removable; the food was bland, disgusting, and it s the same thing every week; I have seen enough holes in walls that though plastered I m surprised it hadn t collapsed the building yet; I had my right eye messed up because of a mental patient punching me there; I had met a patient that had asked if he could suck me; between the first day and eighth day as a patient, you aren't allowed to have a bed or change clothes due to security measures ; and finally, for the first 30 days of being a patient, though you can have visits via relatives within the building, you are not allowed to leave outside the building. May I wish those that were there hope for full recovery, and the facility and staff pure deep Hell for their inhumane actions. Thank you.

I m curious to know who is in charge of hiring staff at this facility and I would like to know what the requirements are to obtain a position as a staff member? My child was recently released, but during her stay she was supposed to be protected because of a separate investigation which I believe as a parent this facility was responsible for her safety regardless. Unfortunately she was not. A staff member recognized her and knew people that were being investigated and this staff member shared private information including my child s location and her treatment. I am absolutely livid and beyond disgusted by the situation I am looking into taking legal action as soon as I can verify who is in charge of employment and what the requirements are to be employed as a staff member in this Facility! To be employed at a mental health facility there are rules such as patient confidentiality I believe if you are a employee at a mental health facility you should have some form of degree as well as sign a waiver that clearly states you will be up for automatic termination possible jail time because I believe you should be charged if you share Private information about a patient especially sharing information with those whom have caused severe harm to the patient!A lot of these reviews that are left on here are from children that were patients here But I am posting as a parent and I am telling you this is not a place to send your children if you are trying to get them help

Do not bring your child here believe me I was forced to live there for 9 months from may 20 2014 until i was released on December 19 2014. this place is HELL. I was there and believe me it is awful a kid named Barry Woods defecated all over my bed while i was sleeping in it it was horrible Sam (i cant remember the last name) kicked me in my teeth and chipped them. The only sensible people there are the kids that obviously didn't need to be there. This place is the absolute worst. If you care about your children you will not let them near this place. I now have frequent nightmares of this place even nearly 4 years later, I ave P.T.S.D. due to this place and my experience there. Again if you care about your kids DON'T send them here
