Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health

Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health is a hospital and addiction treatment provider in North Charleston, South Carolina helping adults and adolescents with substance use and co occurring mental health disorders.

The facility offers medical detox, inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, therapy and dual diagnosis treatment.

The team offers an acute care structure in a 116 bed hospital built for crisis stabilization not a residential rehab.

Acute Psychiatric Hospital Care

Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health operates as an acute inpatient psychiatric hospital which places it in a different structural category than the small residential rehabs.

The program is designed for people in psychiatric crisis offering crisis stabilization services and 24/7 inpatient care for adults with acute conditions such as depression, anxiety and PTSD along with addiction treatment.

People in North Charleston arriving in an acute psychiatric crisis can be assessed, diagnosed and stabilized on site rather than transferred between facilities.

The Joint Commission accreditation and South Carolina DHEC licensure reflect hospital level oversight.

This setting is a strong fit for someone whose first priority is medical and psychiatric stabilization.

Step Down Care With Telehealth Options

The center pairs its inpatient capacity with an outpatient continuum that includes a partial hospitalization program and an intensive outpatient program.

You can move from 24/7 care to structured daytime treatment and then to outpatient care without changing providers.

Telehealth is available for certain outpatient programs extending continued care to people who can't attend every session in person.

This can help adolescents and adults whose recovery depends on a smooth step down rather than a hard discharge and families who need a local option for ongoing structured support.
