South Carolina Department of Mental Health

Bamberg County Mental Health Clinic in Denmark, South Carolina, offers outpatient mental health and addiction services. They provide individual and group therapy and apply methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and trauma therapy. If you can’t get there in person, they have telehealth options, which is nice. They also help with medication management if that’s part of your treatment.

Nearby, you can access places like Cecelie Playground, Denmark Technical College, and The Art Park. These could be good spots for people to get outside or stay connected during recovery.

Unique Populations Served

They work with a wide range of people that includes underserved populations such as veterans, LGBTQ identifiers, seniors, young adults, kids with serious emotional issues and people dealing with both mental health and substance abuse problems. They also help those involved with the court system, as well as individuals experiencing PTSD, eating disorders or HIV/AIDS. They also provide services for deaf and hard-of-hearing clients, which is important for accessibility. These diverse services stand out to me because some of these populations are often overlooked.

Smoke-Free Facility

Something else that stood out to me is that the clinic doesn’t allow smoking or vaping on site. To some this may seem too restrictive, but their goal is to keep the facility clean and to keep the surroundings free of these substances.

Payment Info

Payment-wise, they take Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, cash, and several government programs. This creates some flexibility depending on your situation, because they can meet you where you’re at financially.
