Responsibilities WHO WE ARE

Palmetto Low country Behavioral Health (a Universal Health Services facility) serves the state of South Carolina with a broad range of psychiatric and substance abuse services. Located on the beautiful Ashley River near Charleston, SC, Palmetto Low country Behavioral Health lends a helping hand to people struggling with mental health and substance use disorders.

At Palmetto Low country Behavioral Health, we strive to provide individuals with compassionate treatment that serves as a foundation for continued hope, healing and recovery. Our facility offers a broad range of inpatient and outpatient treatment options for adolescents, adults and senior adults. The goal of our programs is to help patients stabilize as quickly as possible and return home with new coping skills.

Every one of our programs provides highly individualized treatment tailored to meet the needs and goals of each patient based on a review of their history, assessments and input from the patient, family and referral source. Treatment is provided by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, social workers and mental health technicians.

Our treatment team is experienced in caring for those with suicidal or homicidal thoughts, substance use disorders, co‑occurring disorders, mood and anxiety disorders and trauma‑related issues. After completing a program, patients may transition to a less intensive level of care for continued progress and reduced risk of rehospitalization. Yoga is a component of all our inpatient and outpatient programs.

Our age specific and speciality treatment programs include:

• Adolescent programs
• Adult programs
• Specialty programs

Trauma Recovery Program:
The Trauma Recovery Program is a specialty program offered to those who have experienced a traumatic event. With a focus on how trauma relates to emotions, the environment, trust and the brain, this group program can assist people struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, post‑traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder and/or obsessive‑compulsive behavior due to trauma.

Military Personnel Support:
The Patriot Support Program provides specialty treatment to service members, veterans and their family members. Treating behavioral health issues related to military service, from PTSD and depression to substance use and complex trauma, our dedicated staff of psychiatrists and therapists provides high‑quality care, programs and services to support veterans and family members in our tailored programs.
