About Sumter Behavioral Health Services

Since 1973, Sumter Behavioral Health Services (Sumter BHS) has specialized in the prevention, intervention and treatment of drug related problems. Sumter BHS’s vision is to achieve “a substance abuse-free Sumter”.

As an outpatient client, you may come for treatment a few days a week.  Many services are available such as individual counseling, group counseling, family therapy, case management, life skills training and more. ​The focus here is on your own personal plan for recovery from substance use disorders and addiction.
We offer outpatient services in our office or a more intensive approach where services can be provided out in the community. Our professional counselors can provide counseling to families in the privacy of their homes or to their children in the schools.
Substance abuse counseling is designed to help the client focus on identifying and acknowledging the consequences of continued substance abuse.  The client will learn what triggers substance abuse and how substance abuse contributes to the following issues:

High risk relationships
Negative consequences
Poor interpersonal relationships
Exposure to violence and sexual assault
Poor finances
Failure to provide a stable and safe home for themselves and children
Developing alternative coping strategies.

​This service can occur in a group setting or individually.
