My son has had many relapses, and it was always the same "I will improve here mama" that lie I have heard so many times I am unable to believe it but being here is another. His attitude changed radically, and he is sure that this time he does not want to fall back, he had ne ...
About Oaks Recovery
Oaks Recovery sits on a tranquil, rural property in Greenwood, South Carolina. Their mission is to provide affordable addiction treatment to anyone who wants help. They offer residential recovery services for adult men and women. Clients can choose either short or long term intensive recovery. They don’t offer detox or mental health care for co-occurring disorders.
The short term intensive program can last up to 42 days. Everything is centered around the 12 Step program. While some addiction treatment centers modify the program, that’s not how it works here. They use the 12 Step program exactly as it was first developed for Alcoholics Anonymous. While you’re in treatment, you’ll work all 12 Steps of the program.
The long term intensive program requires a four month commitment. It’s designed for people who may need more time to prepare for successful sober living. Staying in the program longer allows you more time to build supportive relationships with other people in recovery. If you choose the long term intensive, you’ll also get vocational assistance.
Both recovery programs provide a lot of daily structure. Days will be filled with individual recovery coaching and 12 Step workshops and meetings. Peer recovery coaches are a huge part of the recovery program. They have personal experience with addiction and recovery. Most residents feel like the guidance from their coach is priceless. Peer recovery coaches and other support staff are onsite 24/7.
Men and women work on their recovery in separate living spaces. Men stay in dorms and cottages, with up to six residents. Women enjoy a warm, spacious environment at Willow House, with rooms for up to four. There are comfortable common areas and even a basketball and volleyball court for some friendly competition!
Speaking of fun, all work and no play is not a good recipe for sobriety. Addiction often takes over and makes it hard to truly enjoy life. You can unlearn that during recovery. From creative workshops to yoga and karaoke, there’s always something fun to do!
If you can commit to spending 2-4 months in an intensive program, Oak Recovery may be a great fit!

Oaks Recovery saved my life and my marriage! My husband went to The Oaks in September 2024 and I followed him to Willow House 2 months later. Seeing my husband be restored through working his program at Oaks Recovery I wanted what he had and I knew where to find it. Oaks Recovery is a SOLUTION based treatment center for substance and alcohol abuse! Beyond that The Oaks has definitely become family and home to us. My husband is 6 months clean and I am 4 months and counting. The staff is phenomenal! Brian, Kim, Andrea, Mrs. Sandy, George, Tammi, Danielle, Diana, Richard, Rob, Micky Yall are doing God's work and you have made a huge impact on our lives forever! Love Yall!

I am so incredibly upset with this place. My father was placed at this facility for alcoholism. Turns out he had the flu of a 104.5 temperature of being there on week 2. It could have have been the withdrawals but that is not the point. I m his oldest daughter and it has came to my attention a few days ago, that my father was dropped off at the front door at the hospital as he could not speak or walk. They did not call an ambulance for his transit. But left at the door outside of the emergency room. He had NO wallet on him and was a John Doe for a couple of weeks there. I am FURIOUS at this rehab facility. Who in their right mind does this?!?! Drops off a VERY sick person OUTSIDE of the emergency room with NO identification, wallet, suitcase, NOTHING! As an addict myself, I will be telling people to BEWARE of this place. How do you guys sleep at night letting a 57 year old man who is deathly ill outside the hospital like a dog or a baby outside of a fire station! This has come to my knowledge just a few days ago as we both thought this so called rehabilitation center just dropped him off. I ll give you a little update just so you guys can feel more terrible about what yall did. He was in the ICU for about a month with a tube down his throat. I cried everyday hoping my dad wouldn t die, and make it. He ended up having a tumor on his back side and when they finally took the tube out, a month later, then was transferred to a room. This man has been called a walking miracle in the state you left him OUTSIDE of the hospital. Sounds to me you guys are NOT a rehab but off property grounds yall are a TORTURE CHAMBER!!!!!!! My head just cannot just fathom from what my father had to go through. No clothes, no wallet, and just left outside to basically die outside of the hospital!! I am FURIOUS! He had to CANCEL all of his cards because maybe there s a thief around your disgusting establishment. And no one called the family to let us know?! I called that Monday and to let someone know to tell him my number. They were to get phone privileges that Tuesday I believe. The person on the phone acted like they did NOT care. Like I said I m an addict and you do NOT treat people this way!! Yes, he can be a hard ass sometimes and arrogant but I don t care who you are!!!! You do NOT treat anyone like this especially with a flu and can t call a family member??? We are ALL 3 HOURS AWAY!! You guys better be saying some prayers tonight, glad in your bed safely, people taking care of you and your loved ones knowing where you are, SAFE!!! FYI, he s still in there from how sick he was. Hopefully he can come back sometime this week. I will not say his name so he can be embarrassed from this. So just look at my last name and just think who this person is. I m not mad I am absolutely LIVID!!!!!!!!!!! If he has more belongings I would be happy to know, but I don t expect it from what yall did to my father. He s been wearing the same clothes on his back for months now. Hasn t been outside since yall left him outside. I hope he does have his stuff there and it didn t go miraculously missing. Y all blatantly messed up and I am FURIOUS!!!! And no he doesn t want your 1 month free. From what after yall did to him?! How can he trust you guys?! I don t even trust you guys!!!!!! It s people like you who can be so freaking heartless that makes people turn into addicts!! Im so upset with yall and I don t even know yall and hell, makes me feel to use. If you guys don t know who I m talking about that s just shocking and maybe change the people who run your office because when I called to give them and my father my number they were NOT nice on the phone whatsoever. I can go on and on but have a nice day. Maybe have this in your group lesson tonight: How would I feel if someone just left me outside in the cold from the hospital with no identification, and my family was 3 hours away? How would my family feel and how would I feel? I think that s a PERFECT topic for your group.Keep It RealAmanda Ritter

Dear Amanda, First and foremost, we are truly grateful that your father is safe and on the road to recovery. We understand how difficult this situation must have been for you and your family, and we sincerely hope for his continued healing. We want to take a moment to clarify some details, as we believe there may be some misunderstandings. Your father was indeed very ill during his short time in our care, and when it became clear that he needed medical attention, we took immediate steps to ensure he received it. While he refused an ambulance, we personally transported him to the hospital so he could get the medical care he needed. At no point was he abandoned or left without concern for his well-being. Regarding communication, we were in regular contact with his father from the moment he arrived at the hospital. Your father was never considered a John Doe, and we had at least 12 phone calls with his father during his hospital stay. However, due to HIPAA regulations, we were unable to accompany him beyond the emergency room or receive updates from the hospital on his condition once he was admitted. We recognize that stories about treatment facilities can sometimes be alarming, and we re sure you re especially aware of this given your background in recovery. Please know that our mission has always been to provide compassionate, ethical care to those we serve. We deeply respect and care for our residents and would never neglect or mistreat them in the way you described. If you would like to discuss this further, we are more than willing to have a direct conversation to address any other questions or concerns. Please feel free to reach out, leave your contact information, and our facility director will get back to you. Again, we truly hope for your father s full recovery and appreciate the opportunity to clarify what happened. With care, The Oaks Recovery Team
Recovery vehicle arrived on time. Leon was driving. Good lad and got me back home to West Midlands with a minimum of fuss.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient rehabs provide flexibility and accommodation for clients who prefer to remain in their homes and workplaces while in recovery. They also facilitate clients' sustained sobriety for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient care. Clients may engage in day, evening, night, or weekend treatment sessions, which typically involve addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many outpatient facilities also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and massage.
Inpatient Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Sober Living Homes A sober living home in South Carolina is a substance-free environment for individuals who are recovering from drug or alcohol abuse. Since these settings do not provide treatment services, they are not covered by insurance. However, your treatment provider may be able to offer financial support if you need assistance with rent payment. They may also refer you to a men's or women's sober living home that offers sliding scale fees.
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.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
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.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
