About Southern Highlands CMHC Inc Crisis Stabilization Unit
Southern Highlands CMHC Inc Crisis Stabilization Unit is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 200 12th Street Extension in Princeton, West Virginia, serving individuals across Southern West Virginia. As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), it operates within a behavioral health framework that integrates addiction treatment with mental health care — a distinction that sets it apart from standalone detox or rehab centers in the region.
The facility offers three levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. Medical detox is available for individuals requiring supervised withdrawal management, providing structured clinical oversight during the acute phase of substance use cessation. Following detox, patients can step into residential treatment for continued stabilization, or access outpatient programming for less intensive ongoing support.
Clinical services at Southern Highlands incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary therapeutic method, alongside telehealth delivery options that extend access for those who cannot attend in person. The facility also addresses co-occurring disorders — including depression, anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia and psychosis, and OCD — making it equipped for individuals whose substance use intersects with complex psychiatric conditions.
Southern Highlands serves a broad population that specifically includes adolescents, veterans, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Payment options span Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance — removing common financial barriers that often delay people from accessing detox and addiction treatment when they need it most.
