Hammocks on the Edisto Offers Trauma-Informed Treatment for Women

JACKSONBORO, SC, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The Hammocks on the Edisto, a women-only residential addiction treatment center situated on the Edisto River in Jacksonboro, South Carolina, offers a 30-day inpatient program near Charleston. This program is designed to treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions such as trauma, anxiety, and depression, all while treating the trauma behind the substance use together. The center provides trauma-informed care, which means creating an environment where women can feel safe sharing their experiences without fear of judgment or re-traumatization. Clinicians who are knowledgeable about trauma symptoms are involved in the care process.

Treatment at Hammocks on the Edisto combines weekly individual therapy with group therapy and therapies used in trauma care, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) groups, and EMDR sessions. Family counseling, horticulture therapy, yoga, and Reiki are also part of the program. Because the trauma program is designed for women whose substance use is connected to traumatic experiences, trauma work takes place as part of each woman's addiction recovery.

The women-only setting is central to that work. Hammocks keeps its community intentionally small, with a 4:1 counselor-to-patient ratio, 24-hour support, private rooms, and chef-prepared meals, so women can build trust with peers who share similar histories. The center's riverside grounds in the South Carolina Lowcountry are part of the experience. Residents take part in sober recreational outings in the Charleston area, and through a partnership with Waves 4 Women, a Charleston-based organization that uses ocean and surf therapy to support women and girls, the program brings the ocean into recovery.

Hammocks also introduces the principles of 12-step recovery, provides case management, and plans aftercare with each woman before discharge. Its alumni and aftercare program includes more than 550 active members who stay connected after treatment ends.
