Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF)

Who we are...

Our Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) serves clients who have experienced difficulties within other placements, require stabilization, or are in need of comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment.

Who we serve...

We serve male and female children, adolescents, and young adults from 8 years to 21 years who are experiencing mental health, emotional regulation and behavioral control difficulties.  Our clients may also have co-occurring diagnosis of an Intellectual / Developmental disability. 

How we serve...

We have developed proficient skills to provide a full range of services within this forty-bed rural facility located near Kingstree, Florence, Sumter and Manning, South Carolina.  Our location allows for social engagement which supports the group and individual treatment. 

The admissions department works with a consumer's referral source to assess our appropriateness in meeting the consumer's identified needs.  Documentation of the consumer's history and experiences will be requested and reviewed and an admissions date set.  Our program is able to provide short-term stabilization and assessment (30 day minimum) up to more extensive stays incorporating the completion of identified goals.  Prior to actual admission, a consumer is assigned a Therapist who will begin to review the consumer's history and experiences initiating our first assessment in conjunction with our Psychiatrist. 

At admission, the Therapist will continue to discover the consumer's past experiences through interview and the assessment of life skills.  The Therapist will then develop an individualized plan of care that provides hope through addressing the identified goals of our consumer, their identified family, their State Agency, their home School District, as well as the PRTF's Interdisciplinary Team.  Together, these participants compose the consumer's treatment team.  The consumer will receive individual and group therapy weekly and family therapy as identified by the treatemtn team.  The Therapist will also develop an individualized crisis management plan based on the consumer's experience and medical, physical and psychological history.  Weekly, the Therapist will meet with the program's Psychiatrist to review behavioral, medical or pyschological concerns.  The psychiatrist will then meet with the consumer to further his/her assessment.  Individuals from the consumer's treatment team are encouraged to arrange with the Therapist to participate in these sessions.

In conjunction with our clinical component, the consumer wil be involved in a structured daily schedule that provides behavioral reinforcement that focuses on social and independent living skill development. These behaviors are reinforced throughout the day with use of our level system and campus and community activities.  Our residential staff work closely with the consumer establishing a nurturing and supportive relationship to provide assistance3 in individual skill development.  Consumers will aslo attend school during the week days with education provided by the PRTF's home School District and specific care being given to address the consumer's individual education needs.  The consumer's treatment team will be invited for all residential and educational meetings, assuring a safety and trust through the collaborative discussion of progress and discharge planning. 

Our goal...

It is our goal to serve each consumer using strength-based treatments by a dedicated and engaged staff within comfortable environments performing interactive experiences that promote their growth and successful completion of their identified goals. 

Funding...

Funding for PRTF Services can be provided by a Medicaid reimbursable program.  Other funding opportunities may be available from state agencies such as the Department of Social Services, Department of Mental Health, Continuum of Care and Department of Disabilities and Special Needs, and local School Districts provide partial reimbursement for our PRTF services as well.
