What Makes Us Unique

Why Choose Pavillon?

You have made the decision to seek treatment for yourself, or someone you know needs help, and you are trying to decide on a treatment center.

What makes Pavillon different? What makes us unique?

Before we answer that, it is important to remember that addiction is more than a dependency on alcohol, drugs or painkillers. If left untreated, this disease results in a downward spiraling cycle of unhealthy and self-defeating behaviors, despite the risks or the damage it causes. 

Can Pavillon cure addiction? No; no credible treatment center would claim that. Chemical dependency is a chronic illness that never completely goes away. However, our state of the art addiction treatment programs and specialized counseling can effectively help you or your loved one achieve recovery, thus opening the door for a happier, healthy future, free of dependency and full of hope.

So, how are we different? When we talk with patients, families and referring physicians, what we hear most often is this:

For some, it is the serene setting of our campus that helps many patients focus on recovery. For others, it is our highly skilled and compassionate clinical staff and the easy access that patients have to them. It may be the care we take to highly individual treatment plans, spiritual care counseling and our attention to the special needs of impaired professionals.

Some patients and therapists are impressed with our attention to imparting strong relapse prevention tools and relapse programs for patients who recovered for a time, but fell back into using.

Because we are an extended care facility – six weeks to over 90 days – patients are able to undergo full rehabilitation in a warm, comfortable and homelike environment where nature abounds outside of every window.  Your time here is safe and it fosters healing; it is not meant to be scary and mysterious. Becoming part of this therapeutic community, combined with creating a comfortable atmosphere aids in that healing. While you get better, we want Pavillon to be your home away from home.

Other Aspects that Set Pavillon Apart: 

ATTENTION TO UNDERLYING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES - In addition to the disease of addiction, many patients suffer from other conditions, such as depression, bipolar disorder or post traumatic stress. Others are experiencing agitation or insomnia. At Pavillon, patients are assessed for specialized psychiatric treatment. We have a full time, board certified addiction psychiatrist on staff who specializes in this kind of treatment.

WE STAY IN TOUCH - Our past patients become family. We have a very active alumni community with members all over the country and meetings several times a year.

DEDICATED HELP FOR IMPAIRED PROFESSIONALS - Pavillon has an excellent reputation with physicians’ health programs and a strong track record of helping professionals restore their health and their careers. Whether you are a pharmacist, attorney, dentist, surgeon, pilot, anesthesiologist or other professional struggling with addiction, we can provide excellent treatment to help you get your life and career back on track.

CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT - Some patients are dealing with chronic physical pain and as such have become addicted to their pain medication. Pavillon has a full time medical director who specializes in addiction plus an addiction psychiatrist who has a wealth of experience in pain management. Patients are able to get their pain under control and achieve recovery.  

SPECIALIZED HELP, CLOSE TO HOME -Pavillon is the ideal location for hundreds of patients and families across the Carolinas, as it's less than two hours from Greenville, SC, Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA. Our Women's Trauma Recovery Program is the only program of its kind in the Carolinas.

HELP FOR FAMILIES & CHILDREN - Treatment to the extent that it is possible, should involve the entire family. Pavillon’s programs for families and children are known in the treatment industry as top notch, compassionate programs that help the entire family deal with their own recovery and healing.

LOW STAFF TURNOVER - Patients and families take stock and comfort in the fact that at Pavillon we have very low staff turnover. When people come to work for us, they stay. In fact, after treatment, many of our alumni stay in touch with their therapists to let us know how they are doing.

PROGRAM FLEXIBILITY - What works for one patient may not work for another. Where necessary, Pavillon adjusts treatment programs for certain patients. There are no set-in-stone solutions, just effective treatment for each individual.

A FOCUS ON WELLNESS & NUTRITION - Eating healthy, tasteful and well-prepared meals is an important part to getting your body and mind open to treatment and counseling. At Pavillon, we give so much importance to this we have a full-time award-winning chef to oversee planning and preparation of meals.  Additionally, the on-site hiking trails, volleyball court, yoga, massage and meditation are all highly encouraged while you are here. You will meet with our wellness coordinator to develop a plan that is just right for your interests and fitness level.
