Behavioral Health Services of Pickens County

The intensive outpatient program at Behavioral Health Services of Pickens County provides structured addiction treatment while allowing clients to maintain work, school, and family responsibilities. Meeting three hours per day, three days per week, this outpatient program creates consistent therapeutic contact without requiring residential placement.

Treatment sessions incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and medication-assisted treatment when clinically appropriate. This combination addresses both the psychological and physiological aspects of substance use disorders while building peer support networks essential for long-term recovery success.

Family counseling services recognize that addiction affects entire family systems, not just individual clients. The recovery center provides specialized programming for pregnant women, adolescents, and children whose families are impacted by substance abuse.

Their trauma-informed care model specifically addresses domestic violence-related issues, creating safe therapeutic spaces for survivors working toward recovery. This comprehensive approach strengthens family relationships while supporting individual healing processes.

As the designated Pickens County Authority provider, Behavioral Health Services maintains extensive connections with local recovery communities and support networks. Clients receive referrals to local recovery meetings and online recovery communities specific to the Pickens County area.

The aftercare support structure includes access to crisis helpline referrals and ongoing community connections. These resources ensure clients maintain their recovery community involvement after completing the intensive outpatient program, supporting long-term sobriety goals.

The recovery center accepts Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance, and state-financed insurance options. For individuals without insurance coverage, sliding fee scales ensure treatment accessibility regardless of financial circumstances.

Operating Monday through Friday with extended hours until 5:30 PM, the facility accommodates diverse scheduling needs. Their 501(c)(3) nonprofit status supports their mission of providing accessible addiction treatment services throughout Upstate South Carolina.
