<p><strong>ABOUT PALMETTO HEALTH RICHLAND</strong></p> <p>Palmetto Health Richland, one of six hospitals operated by South Carolina’s Palmetto Health, provides <strong>short-term, inpatient stabilization services</strong> and <strong>outpatient programs</strong> for adults and adolescents struggling with mental and behavioral health concerns, including substance abuse and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a>. Medical detoxification is also available to individuals who are experiencing withdrawal. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Upon admission, each client receives an <strong>initial biopsychosocial assessment,</strong> and individuals requiring stabilization or detoxification are referred to the hospital’s inpatient program. The goal of the inpatient program, which typically lasts <strong>between three and five days</strong>, is to safely stabilize the individual so that they may transition to the hospital’s Addiction Recovery Center, which offers <strong>intensive outpatient treatment (IOP)</strong>, <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a> for program graduates, and a support group for licensed professionals.</p> <p>Addiction Recovery Center’s programming uses a biopsychosocial model of addiction and draws from <strong>12-step principles</strong>. Primarily conducted in group settings, therapy sessions utilize <strong>cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)</strong>, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Clients are educated on the neurobiology of addiction and <strong>learn relapse prevention skills</strong>. Sessions are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Individual counseling is provided as needed.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Palmetto Health Richland’s behavioral health staff includes physicians, nurses, psychiatrists, certified addiction counselors, substance abuse and mental health counselors, and licensed social workers.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Palmetto Health Richland’s behavioral health unit is part of a <strong>full-service hospital</strong> that accommodates up to 649 patients at a time. The four individuals polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave the <strong>facility’s accommodations an average rating of 3.5 out of five stars, and its cleanliness 4.25 stars</strong>. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p><strong>Two of the three alumni polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing indicated that they would recommend the facility</strong> to others. F.S. characterized Palmetto Health Richland as a no-frills treatment center that provided effective treatment. “It did not have pools and spas like you see on Tv , but it keeps you focused on why you are there,” they wrote. Another anonymous alum noted that the cost of treatment was a downfall, but highlighted the facility’s “good therapy” and gave the center’s treatment effectiveness and its counseling options five-star ratings.</p> <p>The third anonymous alum offered a drastically different perspective, giving the center below-average ratings in most evaluated categories, including the staff’s level of training and experience, the program’s holistic offerings, the center’s treatment for co-occurring disorders, and its counseling options. “Staff unprofessional,” they told Rehabs.com. </p> <p>On CiteHealth, seven reviewers – a mix of alumni and loved ones – submitted an average rating of only <strong>1.86 out of five stars</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Most reviewers’ complaints concerned <strong>the facility’s staff, who were described as disrespectful and manipulative</strong>. “This place is not a place to get better, but to be treated like an inmate. It was a nightmare and I would never suggest this place to any person! The psych. Had not spoken to any of my other doctors and would not listen to anything I was saying,” one anonymous reviewer wrote. </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole loved one polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing submitted three-star ratings in most evaluated categories, including the staff’s level of training and experience, the center’s treatment of co-occurring disorders, and the facility’s level of cleanliness. This respondent provided only two-star ratings in categories including the facility’s counseling options, its holistic offerings, its connectivity/visitor policy, and its family participation. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Palmetto Health Richland accepts most private insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid. Financial assistance is available for qualifying individuals. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/south-carolina/cities/columbia/palmetto-health-behavioral-care" target="_blank">http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/south-carolina/cities/columbia/palmetto-health-behavioral-care</a></small></p>
