What We Offer

Core Programs & Clinical Services

In Chesnee, American Detox & Treatment offers a full continuum of inpatient care — from detox to residential treatment — with an emphasis on integrating clinical, psychological, and holistic supports.

Medically Supervised Detoxification

Detox is often the first step for many clients coming off alcohol, opioids, sedatives, or other substances. At Chesnee, detoxification is medically supervised 24/7 to manage withdrawal safely, mitigate risks, and stabilize the client prior to deeper therapeutic work. Staff includes medical technicians, licensed nurses, and clinicians who monitor vitals, symptoms, and adjust supportive care as needed.

Residential / Inpatient Treatment

Once stabilized, clients transition into the residential phase, living onsite and participating in intensive therapeutic programming. The program typically includes 40+ hours per week of group therapy, individual therapy, psychoeducation, relapse prevention, life skills, and discharge planning. Treatment is individualized — not a one-size‐fits-all approach. The clinical and medical team work together to tailor care to each person’s history, co-occurring mental health issues, trauma background, and recovery goals. Trauma-informed care is woven across the program, with particular attention to how past emotional, physical, or psychological injuries may underlie substance use patterns.

Starting Your Recovery Journey

Our Philosophy & Approach to Chesnee Addiction Treatment

What distinguishes our Chesnee treatment facility is its emphasis on healing beyond the physical. Here’s how we approach restoration:

  • Whole-person care: Addiction is rarely just about the substance — it involves emotional wounds, relational dynamics, meaning, identity, and coping skills. American Detox addresses all these, not just the acute symptoms.
  • Comfort + dignity: Rather than stark, clinical wards, Chesnee is built to feel calm and respectful, with private rooms, personal space, and amenities that preserve dignity while still ensuring safety.
  • Active engagement: Clients are expected to participate fully in therapeutic work, group sessions, psychoeducation, relapse prevention, and self-reflection. The expectation is that recovery is less passive “treatment” and more co-created with the client.
  • Trauma integration: Recognizing that many individuals with substance use challenges carry trauma histories, care is delivered with sensitivity, safety, and therapeutic methods that honor emotional regulation, grounding, and pacing.
  • Aftercare focus: From intake through discharge, planning for sustained recovery is integral — what happens after leaving matters as much as what happens onsite.
How We Help

Who We Serve & Eligibility

  • Age & Population: The center serves adults (18+) and in some instances young adults, focusing on those ready for structured inpatient care.
  • Co-Occurring Disorders: Many clients have mental health challenges alongside addiction (depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma). The program is designed to treat these concurrently.
  • Insurance & Payment: American Detox is in-network or accepts many major insurance plans (Cigna, UHC, Ambetter, BCBS, UMR, etc.). However, the center does not accept Medicaid or Medicare currently.
  • Private Pay & Verification: The admissions team helps verify benefits, guide payment options, and assist clients in understanding cost structures and coverage.
What to Expect

Typical Client Experience — From Intake to Aftercare

Here is a general outline of what someone might expect when entering the Chesnee facility:

  1. Initial Contact & Assessment: Prospective clients or loved ones reach out via phone or inquiry form. The admissions team collects medical history, substance use history, insurance/financial info, and assesses immediacy of need.
  2. Insurance Verification & Authorization: The team submits the necessary documentation to insurance carriers (if applicable) to verify what services will be covered, what portion will be out of pocket, and ensures authorizations are in place.
  3. Admission & Detox (if required): On arrival, clients are medically evaluated, detox begins with monitoring of vital signs, withdrawal symptoms, and supportive care. Medical staff provide comfort medications, hydration, labs, and oversight.
  4. Transition to Residential Programming: Once stabilized, clients begin the structured residential schedule: group therapy, one-on-one counseling, educational groups, relapse prevention, life skills, expressive therapy, and holistic components.
  5. Therapeutic Modalities & Supports: Clients engage in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, trauma work, peer support, and integration of healthy coping tools.
  6. Mid-Treatment Review & Adjustment: Clinicians regularly review progress with clients, adjust care plans, add supports, and address emerging issues (medical, psychiatric, relapse risk).
  7. Discharge Planning & Aftercare Coordination: Before departure, the team helps clients develop a plan for continuing care — outpatient therapy, local support groups, psychiatric follow-up, community resources. The goal is smooth transition and relapse prevention.

Post-Treatment Support & Follow-up: While American Detox is primarily inpatient/residential, clients or alumni are encouraged to maintain contact, use recommended supports, and access resources to stay connected to recovery.
