About Three Rivers Midlands – Residential Services
Kids and adolescents involved in residential treatment receive 24/7 supervision and care in this 64-bed facility. Rather than solely focusing on participants’ behavioral issues, staff seek to help clients achieve overall well being so they can lead happy, healthy and community oriented lives. Participants may stay in residential treatment anywhere from two weeks to six months, depending on their needs.
KARS (Kids Achieving Resilience and Success Program) is a short-term, co-ed program for participants struggling with significant behavioral, cognitive, emotional, familial or social functioning. Staff use the Kimochis program to equip kids with the tools they need to cope with emotions in a healthier manner.
KEYS (Knowledge and Excellence for Youth Success) is another short-term, co-ed program for youth 11 and up. It’s not appropriate for participants whose primary diagnosis is substance use, but it is suitable for those with a secondary diagnosis of addiction.
New Horizons is the female-only residential treatment program for girls 11 and up with severe problems, such as substance use, that may endanger themselves or others. In addition to therapy, participants receive basic life skills training to help them live independently after treatment. The Synergy program is just like New Horizons, but for males only.
Kids at the facility also all have access to therapeutic activities, including outings, bowling, movies and events like talent shows and Friendsgiving. Additionally, they take part in online classes from Acellus Academy, a reputable and accredited institution, to ensure they don’t fall behind in their studies.

This facilty is the worst every - My son was there for five day. During that time - My husband and I called several times daily to speak to a counselor, doctor, patient advocate. We drove up there and we were told no one was avail. Left my number - never received a call back. The kept him there for 5 days - which is what the insurance company allows. On day 5 I got a phone call from my son that he was being discharged in an hour. When I got there he was in the lobby waiting for me. He was unkept. The cloths I brought for him he was never given. He had the same cloths on that he arrived in. There was no discharge plan, family intervention meetings or a plan of action helping my son. NOTHING but a hugh bill that was sent to collections. I tried several time to call and discuss this bill but no one was avail or called me back. ADVOID this faciliy at all cost.

... I've just recently discharged. i spent 6 months there. The staff weren't the problem at all...it was the kids. fights left and right, all the time. run aways, and self-harm. I tried committing suicide a lot there...but not because of the staff. it was a mixture of my trauma and some of the kids. a lot of the kids were great and helped...but some weren't... some would say it was for attention. I'm giving it 3 stars because the staff were good to me...it was the environment that deteriorated me slowly.... I'm sorry. My therapist was amazing. I'll always look up to her. the higher ups were always respectful. and for that I'm grateful. I'm just not as better as i wanted to be... im no longer in South Carolina...and im happy. but im never going to forget my trauma of seeing multiple kids try killing themselves in front of me, or self harming in front of me...i got sent to the hospital once for almost succeeding in off-ing myself... i have nightmares about it. i know this facility is about letting things out and opening up to help you heal but..in all honesty? i've gotten better at hiding my emotions from everyone. I've left with more scars..both Physically and Mentally. this is my true and honest opinion... Im sorry but im also not because im telling the truth... Thank you for listening to me. please Midlands. dont tell me to contact you. i will deny. i want to try and forget this place...

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
24-hour clinical care in South Carolina is designed to protect those in recovery from health risks of withdrawal. For example, opioid withdrawal can cause vomiting and diarrhea that results in a life-threatening level of dehydration. Withdrawal from benzodiazepines can cause seizures which can be fatal. To avoid these risks, supervised medical detox is recommended. Under this care, medical professionals constantly monitor patients to ensure a safe detox process.
Treatments
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.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Specialized dual-diagnosis treatment programs in South Carolina can help individuals looking for substance abuse treatment. Dual-diagnosis simply means treating individuals struggling with addiction and any other mental health problems, like anxiety. These conditions often co-occur and treating them at the same time can dramatically improve your odds of success. You can typically expect these addiction treatment programs to utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with skill-based education to enhance your coping skills and improve your overall well-being.
Programs
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
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.
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.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
