Homeless Program
- Our mental health processionals go into the community and
concentrate on outreach and engaging in treatment persons that are homeless
and dealing with a major mental illness. The program provides a
continuum of services and works in a collaboration with other homeless
providers in the community. The staff help people find shelter, food,
clothing, financial resources, mental health treatment when necessary, and
other assistance as identified with the goal to reduce the number of
homeless mentally ill living on the street.
Supportive Employment
- We work together with Vocational Rehabilitation to place patients with a
chronic mental illness in productive, paying jobs. We provide support to
these patients while they're working to help them succeed on the job.
Dual Diagnosis Services
- We provide services to dually diagnosed patients (persons with a mental
or emotional illness as well as an addiction problem). We have staff
with special training in addiction treatment who offer therapy programs and
case management services while working closely with other addiction programs
and agencies. Persons without a mental or emotional illness who need
treatment for alcohol and/or drug abuse problems will be referred to other
assisting agencies/services for assistance.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
- A Master's level professional social worker, fluent in American Sign
Language and knowledgeable in deaf culture, provides individual, family, and
group counseling to deaf and hard of hearing persons who experience mental
or emotional illnesses. This service is part of a larger network of
treatment programs delivered to the deaf community by the SC Department of
Mental Health. Our TTY telephone number is 864-241-1063.
Consultation, Education, and Prevention Services
- We seek to raise public awareness of mental health issues in our
community through public relations efforts including talks, speeches,

prevention of mental illness. Our staff provides a variety of
educational programs designed in response to requests from the community.
