South Vocational Rehabilitation Department Palmetto Center

The Palmetto Center offers a residential treatment program for individuals whose substance use interferes with their ability to work. Participation is voluntary and requires a referral from a Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) counselor. To qualify, clients must be enrolled in VR services and meet brief sobriety requirements. The center provides a four-week program that integrates addiction treatment with employment-focused support to help clients achieve long-term stability.

Grow Confidence Through Therapy and Connection

Clients receive care in a structured, supportive environment where licensed counselors and nurses provide emotional guidance, medical monitoring, and medication management. The program includes group therapy, life-skills education, and recreational activities designed to promote healthy habits and self-awareness. Family involvement is encouraged through visitation and therapy sessions. Clients are treated with respect and are expected to take an active role in their recovery.

Continue Progress Through Long-Term Support

Beyond treatment, the center prepares clients for employment through personalized support. Vocational specialists help identify individual strengths and develop job-readiness skills such as stress management and conflict resolution. After the residential stay, clients continue working with their VR counselors and are encouraged to engage in community support groups. This ongoing guidance helps them maintain sobriety and successfully transition back to work and daily life.
