About Highland Hospital – Charleston
Highland Hospital is a psychiatric hospital in Charleston, West Virginia that treats adults and children over the age of 10 for mental health, addiction, and dual diagnoses. In this facility, you can be treated as a psychiatric inpatient while receiving addiction treatment at the same time. If you need around the clock support for addiction but don’t have acute psychiatric needs, then their residential detox program may be what you’re looking for.
Inpatient and detox units differ from each other in the physical environment and in unit rules. People who need inpatient psychiatric treatment are often at risk of harming themselves or other people, so anything in the environment that can be used that way is removed. In contrast, residential rehabs are less restricted but still provide 24 hour structure and have strict rules designed to promote sobriety.
Highland Hospital has multiple accreditations including from the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the Joint Commission. These are organizations that ensure that healthcare organizations are meeting certain standards. These certificates help you know that you’re getting the standard of care.
