About

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.

  • Medical detox available as an entry point to a full continuum: detox, residential, and outpatient all under one provider in Southern West Virginia
  • CCBHC-certified facility equipped to treat co-occurring psychiatric conditions alongside substance use disorder — critical for dual diagnosis patients entering detox
  • CARF accreditation signals independently verified quality standards for detox and behavioral health programming
  • TRICARE accepted, with dedicated population served designation for veterans — directly relevant for military-connected individuals seeking detox in the region
  • Telehealth services extend access to care beyond the Princeton campus, supporting outpatient and follow-up treatment across Southern West Virginia

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Princeton, WV

Southern Highlands CMHC Inc Crisis Stabilization Unit provides medical detox for individuals in Southern West Virginia who need supervised withdrawal management. Medical detox is the first and most clinically critical step for many people with substance use disorder, and having it available within a CARF-accredited, CCBHC-certified facility means patients can transition directly into residential or outpatient treatment without transferring to a different provider.

The facility's Crisis Stabilization Unit designation reflects its capacity to manage acute presentations — not just routine detox cases. For families and individuals navigating a same-day decision about where to seek care, the presence of on-site medical detox at a facility that also treats co-occurring mental health conditions is a meaningful clinical advantage.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Detox for Co-Occurring Disorders

Many individuals entering detox carry diagnoses beyond substance use disorder — including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, psychosis, and OCD. Southern Highlands CMHC is structured as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic specifically to address this overlap. Patients are not referred out for psychiatric care; the facility is built to manage both conditions concurrently.

This matters at the detox stage because unmanaged psychiatric symptoms can complicate withdrawal and increase the risk of relapse or crisis. Having co-occurring disorder treatment integrated from the point of medical detox through residential and outpatient levels of care creates a more continuous clinical picture for each patient.

Who Southern Highlands Serves

Southern Highlands CMHC specifically serves adolescents, veterans, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing — populations that frequently face access barriers at general detox and addiction treatment facilities. TRICARE is accepted, making this a direct option for active duty military and veterans in Southern West Virginia who need medically supervised detox or residential treatment.

For adolescents requiring detox or substance use treatment, finding a facility that is explicitly equipped for that population — rather than one that treats minors as an afterthought — is an important distinction. Southern Highlands' CCBHC certification and school-based programming reflect a broader infrastructure for serving younger patients with complex needs.

Payment Options for Detox and Addiction Treatment

Cost and insurance coverage are frequently the deciding factors in whether someone accesses detox in time. Southern Highlands CMHC accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. For those without adequate coverage, sliding scale fees and financial assistance are also available.

This range of accepted payment methods is particularly significant in Southern West Virginia, where Medicaid enrollment rates are high and access to private-pay detox facilities is limited. Individuals and families can contact the facility directly at (304) 425-9541 or reach out via info@shcmhc.com to discuss coverage and admission options.
