About

About Sandhills Behavioral Care PLLC

Sandhills Behavioral Care PLLC operates as a comprehensive outpatient primary care and mental health clinic headquartered at 523 Rockingham Road in Rockingham, North Carolina, with additional locations in Pinehurst and Gastonia. Founded by Tammie Gainey, PhD, PMHNP, FNP-BC, the practice integrates behavioral health, substance use treatment, and primary care under a single clinical roof, with the explicit goal of helping each patient find what the team calls ‘real recovery, real healing.’

The clinical model is holistic. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Sandhills Best Care builds care plans that address mental health, physical health, and substance use together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy anchors the talk-therapy work, and the practice has expanded into specialized neuromodulation and behavioral health services including Spravato (esketamine), ketamine, EXOMIND, EMSCULPT NEO, and EMSELLA – signaling investment in newer evidence-based options for treatment-resistant conditions.

The patient population is intentionally broad. Sandhills Behavioral Care serves adolescents, young adults, adults, seniors, veterans, pregnant women, court-ordered clients, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and deaf or hard-of-hearing patients. Trauma- and PTSD-related symptoms and co-occurring disorders are core focus areas. Tailored Care Management is offered for clients who need help coordinating multiple services. Notices to patients are posted in both English and Spanish.

Financial access is central to the practice’s posted mission. Sandhills Best Care states that it will not deny services for inability to pay, for Medicaid, Medicare, or CHIP coverage, or based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. A discounted sliding fee schedule is available based on family size and income. The clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. Office hours are Monday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM; the main line is 910-562-9882, with a Gastonia office at 704-469-6158.

Medical Detox Programs in Rockingham

Sandhills Behavioral Care provides medically supervised detox programs designed to safely manage withdrawal symptoms under clinical supervision. The facility's medical detox services operate under the direction of Dr. Tammie Gainey, whose psychiatric expertise ensures proper medication management throughout the withdrawal process.

Their detox programs address various substance dependencies while monitoring for potential complications. The center's approach combines medical supervision with therapeutic interventions, preparing patients for continued treatment through their outpatient programs following successful detox completion.

Withdrawal Management for Co-occurring Disorders

The facility specializes in treating individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions that complicate the detox process. This dual diagnosis expertise proves critical for patients whose withdrawal symptoms may interact with existing psychiatric conditions, requiring modified protocols and specialized medication management.

Sandhills Behavioral Care's psychiatric foundation allows clinicians to address both substance withdrawal and underlying mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach reduces the risk of complications during detox and improves outcomes for individuals with complex clinical presentations.

Insurance Coverage and Payment Options

Sandhills Behavioral Care accepts multiple insurance carriers including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and private insurance plans for detox services. The facility also offers self-pay options for individuals without insurance coverage seeking medical detox.

Understanding financial barriers to treatment, the center provides sliding fee schedules based on family size and income. This pricing structure makes medically supervised withdrawal management accessible to individuals who might otherwise delay necessary detox care due to cost concerns.

Specialized Population Services

The facility serves unique populations requiring specialized detox considerations, including pregnant women who need modified withdrawal protocols to protect both mother and child. Veterans receive targeted services through TRICARE acceptance and understanding of military-related trauma that may complicate the detox process.

Sandhills also provides detox services for adolescents and young adults, recognizing that younger individuals may require different approaches to withdrawal management. The center accommodates deaf and hard of hearing individuals, ensuring communication barriers don't prevent access to critical medical detox services.
