About The Forrester Center for Behavioral Health

The Forrester Center for Behavioral Health is in Spartanburg, South Carolina. They offer comprehensive treatment for substance misuse. They have various outpatient programs set up for adults and adolescents.

Their adult services feature an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for more acute cases. You’ll receive co-occurring treatment for mental health and substance use symptoms.

The first step in your journey will be a thorough evaluation of your health history. You’ll then be assigned a medication assisted treatment (MAT) case manager who’ll keep an eye on your progress during treatment and provide support throughout your care. They make sure that everyone who is participating should meet the requirements for the program.

Flexible options are offered to accommodate a range of schedules including morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend groups. Walk-in hours are used for assessments and adjustments are made for exceptional situations.

The medical staff will meet with you after you’ve finished enrolling to go over your medication schedule including dosage, therapy courses, and any contraindications. After that, a peer recovery coach and a counselor will be paired with you.

Youths also have dedicated tracks. Programs like The Bridge provide family centered support to adolescents who might struggle with the transition to adulthood while their adolescent intensive outpatient program concentrates on preventing substance use and promoting recovery.

Additionally, they offer the Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program to DUI offenders which includes peer support to help you connect with other people in recovery, educational materials, and possible treatment options.

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.

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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Withdrawing from addictive substances, like alcohol, benzodiazepines (like Xanax), or opioids, occurs during the detox process. Since this process can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects, the mission of a medically assisted detox is to provide an expert medical team to help monitor your health around the clock. They will work to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible, administering necessary medications to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Choosing a drug rehab in South Carolina helps you overcome drug dependency, learn how to manage cravings, and obtain the tools needed to prevent relapse. This is accomplished through individualized treatment that addresses a full spectrum of physical, social, and emotional needs.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

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.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

Their "counselors" will invent anything to tell you that you need additional treatment just so they can seize your money. "Counselors” simply repeat what you have on the papers in your profile, there is no real insight on the help they should be giving (and what you paid f ... Read More

Went for intake, I'm not required to be here other than for a past dui... They never gave me a date to come In then sent me a letter telling me they would drop me. Called for weeks now answer! Finally had to take a day off. To clear it up had called that Jamison guy who never answered. But yet when I went in his secretary was able to reach him. This guy doesn't help or work with anyone. Because I work an actual career and can't miss work. And being I get off at 530 and he knew this still tried to make me come in . Yeah big mistake wasting my time here. Post all you want on your standards and what ever this place is the worst treatment center I have ever been too. No one literally knows what's going on! Do not go here!

Highly recommend. Professional and competent. I took a relative here and initially was very stressed. We were treated well by people that wanted to help. Everyone we interacted with was kind and professional. We didn t feel judged, and the staff even dresses like normal people you would see in everyday life, which helped make it a calm atmosphere. If you want help, or even if you re a parent of someone that isn t sure they want help yet, this is a great place.

I got sent here for DSS and it's been over 12 weeks and they seem to not be helping people like they should. I would recommend they do one on one instead of 2 or 3 hour classes , and they don't give u breaks in between.

I can honestly say at first I was a little hesitant. I was sent here to take a 6-week DOT class. I could tell this was the first time dealing with something like this but I can honestly say if you need help this is the place to be. From day one they were nothing but professional kind and caring. I had to switch counselors midcourse cuz he was retiring but the new counselor Jacob was a younger gentleman but he knew his stuff he had a way of making everybody feel comfortable and open up in class I feel like I've gained a whole lot from this experience I did have to extend my class by 3 weeks and do a total of nine but it was well worth it. I even plan to continue after I'm processed out so please if you need help this is the place to be

I would give zero but its not an option. All my drug screens were clean. I paid up front. I was not completed for ADSAP based only on the fact I had treatment 11 yrs prior. No other reason. Its a money scam. Use a different place.
