Any info on William S Hall Psychiatric Hospital?
Does anyone have any experience with the William S Hall Psych. Hospital in Columbia? Specifically, the Adolescent Recovery/Dual Diagnosis Center Unit, or the Directions Unit? Thanks

My daughter just came home from WSH
Hello Highhopes. My daughter just finished a Dual Diagnosis program at Hall yesterday. She was there for several months. Chuck Vilord is the director of the program, and it is exceptional. Mr. Vilord is awesome, and the program, which he has developed over the years, should be nationwide in my opinion. I hope my daughter will be willing to put everything she has learned, (skills for handling grief, anger, stress, etc.) and continue to walk in the healing she has received there.
Of course, it would help if the program could last the really necessary 12 months that is proven to be effective for chemical abuse. Most insurance, and Medicaid cut off treatment at 1 month to 3 at the most.
Historically, 12 months has a very high rate of success with no relapse. Now, most people are in treatment at least 3 times before it 'takes'.
I hope your son is o.k. I don't know what is going on with him, but I do know that if there is a problem, the Mom is effected VERY much. The whole family is. So I pray that an effective door is open for his healing, and for you also. If you would like to e-mail me privately, just click on the link at this site.
There is also a place called 3 Rivers. I believe they offer school along with treatment for different behavior concerns.
Thanks for replying, and I believe that you WILL have a good future and so will your son.
