The center provides a range of services, including residential treatment, outpatient treatment, and aftercare support, with specialized programs available for clients dealing with co-occurring addictions and mental health disorders.
During residential treatment at Palmetto Center, clients collaborate closely with dedicated addiction counselors to create personalized treatment plans that address their physical and psychological needs, current health status, and recovery goals. The treatment is supported by a multi-disciplinary team of trained and licensed nurses who provide round-the-clock care, ensuring clients remain safe and comfortable throughout their recovery journey. The center offers a broad array of holistic and evidence-based services to help clients understand their condition, identify triggers and underlying factors, and build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.
Residential services at Palmetto Center include medication management, nutritional counseling, recovery-focused games and activities, life skills and relapse prevention training, individual, group, and family counseling, and guest speakers and lectures. A significant emphasis is placed on job readiness, with job preparedness training integrated into the residential program to support clients in securing employment after treatment.
As clients transition back into society, they are encouraged to maintain contact with their addiction counselor and engage with local community groups for additional support and follow-up. Palmetto Center is listed with SAMHSA and holds a state license in South Carolina. The center may be in-network with many commercial insurance providers, including Humana, Aetna, BlueCross/BlueShield, and United Healthcare. Clients are advised to verify their coverage with their individual provider, as out-of-network benefits can vary.
The South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department also offers various services for businesses, including job retention support for employees facing emotional or physical challenges or substance abuse issues, transition services for youth, and disability determination services. For individuals seeking assistance, the process is straightforward: contact the local VR office to schedule an appointment with a counselor.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
