<p><strong>ABOUT UNITED MINISTRIES</strong></p> <p>Located in Greenville, S.C., United Ministries is a <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/SC17.pdf" target="_blank">nonprofit, which make up about 35 percent of all treatment facilities</a> in South Carolina. It aims to address poverty, financial crisis, and homelessness in Greenville, northern South Carolina. Alongside adult education services and crisis assistance services, such as emergency financial assistance, United offers the Place of Hope Day Shelter, <strong>a drop-in facility that's open daily,</strong> and which offers services for homeless people, ranging from showers to help accessing longer-term support.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to United Ministries' website, Place of Hope's ultimate goal is to get participants off the streets and into homes of their own. Though the facility provides case management services and can help clients to access treatment, it <strong>does not seem to offer any counseling</strong> or other direct support for substance use disorder.</p> <p>Clients may drop in to access a shower, the restroom, laundry services, lockers, and telephones. For those individuals who are interested, these drop-in services can lead to more intensive support, via <strong>case management</strong> that can help clients to get identification, <strong>access treatment for problematic substance use</strong> or mental health disorders, secure housing, and/or obtain legal services. </p> <p>United provides very little further information about Place of Hope's offerings, though the organization does also operate <strong>an education and employment division</strong> that provides GED and one-on-one employability classes. Place of Hope clients are encouraged to participate in these sessions once they've secured their basic needs.</p> <p>Through the local church congregation, United also offers a network of emergency <strong>shelters and short-term housing for parents with children.</strong> These shelters provide meals as well as a place to sleep.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Place of Hope employs a program manager and a case manager, neither of whose credentials are provided at the time of this writing. There is currently no further information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff, however the single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility one out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews directly from alumni of Place of Hope.

"I think God for everything you all have done for my family and I we have excelled beyond belief thank you for giving me that push I needed to give my girls and I have a better life," J.R.R. wrote in a representative review.</p> <p>To date, <strong>the 32 people to leave Google Reviews gave an average of 4.4 out of five stars</strong>.
