Anderson – Oconee – Pickens Mental Health Center

The Anderson Oconee Pickens Mental Health Center is located in Anderson, South Carolina. This is an organization that operates under the South Carolina Department of Mental Health. They provide services to adults and adolescents who need supportive care for mental health, behavioral health, or substance abuse difficulties.

Services are offered in an outpatient setting and there are specialized programs for veterans and active duty service members as well.

There’s a therapeutic six month program here that provides community-based services to children and adolescents who are struggling with their behavioral health, have a mental health disorder, or are working through a substance use disorder. This collaborative program incorporates family therapy and individualized counseling to help children work through challenges they’re facing in everyday life. This might include issues with school, family relationships, antisocial behaviors, delinquency, and other negative behaviors.

Having served the surrounding community for over 40 years, this organization has built trusted relationships with residents, families, and individuals who have been impacted by mental health conditions and co occurring substance use disorder. Because you’re receiving care through a state agency, it’s easier for you to get connected to other resources and services within the community as well.

This can include getting help applying for social security benefits and WIC, getting access to resources like helplines, and teaching you about what other services there are that can help you, often at no cost or reduced cost.
