Medical briefcase icon 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.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

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 iconMental Health

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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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 won't tell you it was a completely negative experience because that would be a lie, I did learned some things that I don't think I will remember but if you ask me now I can assure you I am not recovered.

While it s convenient having a VA hospital 25-30 minutes away, the inability to contact your primary care team, the lack of empathy, and short staffing makes it nearly not worth the time. I have had service related pain for 6 months, and was seen and actually felt cared for more by the main campus in Charleston more than any of my visits with the medical team at Beaufort. Beaufort s only saving grace is the mental health professionals like Dr. Court and Dr. Mundee. Those two women saved my life, but the physical care team needs work. You are rushed in and out, it feels like the doctors don t listen to you and seem to review any medical records you provide from urgent care you have been given or recommendations from other doctors. Other than mental health, I will not be returning to this clinic. Make the drive, to Charleston. If you can t there are veteran services like the DAV that will be able to provide assistance with transportation.

It s not the doctors or the staff . It s the huge influx of veterans and the short staff . I prefer to see my primary care as I always try to use the VA . But as of late they re 6 months out on appointments and I was recently told to go else where if I could in so many words . The VA needs to invest in the Beaufort , bluffton ridgeland area. To many veterans have moved here and it s impossible to take care of all of them in a corner of an old run down naval hospital. 6 years ago I could have walked in and been seen . Or atleast called and got a same day or next day appointment . Now you can t call them directly. It goes straight to Charleston. If you try to Schedule it s months out . It s embarrassing. And I feel like the current staff get treated horribly. My primary cares attitude has changed over the years and doc seems rushed even if I get an appointment. Never used to be that way. Again I don t blame the staff . There are rumors of a new VA going to be built in Beaufort bluffton area . MAKE IT A REALITY.

Response from the owner1 year ago
Our wait times are nowhere near 6 months and we do have same day appointments. Your primary care provider may have asked you to see them again in 6 months but our wait times are normally well under a month for Beaufort. We service over 80,000 Veterans and receive an average of 3,000 calls a days, so our consolidated call center is a must. If you need an appointment, please call our main line and we will get you scheduled. Also, a new clinic in Beaufort is not a rumor. We are currently in the procurement phase to move forward.

In my experience with VA's clinics from NY to FL the waits times are typically terrible. At this location it is not the case. I am usually in and out fairly quickly and the staff is always polite and answers any question asked. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Zero.These people sincerely don t care. The doctors don t care, they re just biding their time until retirement. The staff absolutely doesn t care which is perfectly conveyed by their negative attitude. Just try calling them. These doctors (wish I could see their resume and grades from medical school), and rude staff. What the hell is going on with staff and management? Ultimately, management is to blame for the failure of this place

Worst VA out there. The doctors and nurses don t look out for anyone. As well as there not being enough time for you to get your medical concerns taken care of where they just tell you to make another appointment which takes weeks.I was literally told I can t bring up further concerns due to not enough time even though my appt was 30min late. This is why so many veterans result in suicidal actions due to not getting the proper help from this corrupt health care system and facility.

Absolute nightmare. Will not go into detail at this time for confidentiality purposes, but the mental health department is more harmful than helpful. Would not recommend to anyone. I would pay a private practice without insurance before I try the VA here.
