Hammocks on the Edisto

Hammocks on the Edisto, located at 2137 Hope Plantation Ln., Jacksonboro, SC 29452, is a serene, private residential addiction treatment center situated on a peaceful, wooded property along the Edisto River in rural Colleton County, South Carolina. Nestled in a quiet, nature-rich setting approximately 45 minutes from Charleston and 1 hour from Beaufort/Hilton Head, the facility offers an intimate, distraction-free environment ideal for deep healing and personal transformation. The center specializes in treating substance use disorders (alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, cocaine, methamphetamine, and polysubstance use) alongside co-occurring mental health conditions (dual diagnosis), including depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and other behavioral health challenges.

Hammocks on the Edisto provides a full continuum of care in a small, boutique-style setting that emphasizes privacy, individualized attention, and a home-like atmosphere rather than a large institutional facility. Treatment begins with medically supervised detoxification (withdrawal management under physician oversight and 24/7 nursing support to ensure safety and comfort during the acute phase). Clients then transition into residential/inpatient treatment, where they live onsite in comfortable, well-appointed accommodations surrounded by nature-complete with hammocks, outdoor seating areas, walking paths along the river, and a tranquil, restorative backdrop that encourages reflection and reconnection with self.

The program is highly personalized and trauma-informed, utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and family systems therapy. A multidisciplinary team-including psychiatrists, psychologists, master’s-level therapists, certified addiction counselors, and holistic practitioners-creates tailored treatment plans that evolve with each client’s progress. Therapy is delivered through individual sessions, small group work, family counseling (with strong emphasis on involving loved ones early in the process), and experiential activities that leverage the natural surroundings, such as guided outdoor reflection, mindfulness in nature, and light recreational pursuits.

Holistic wellness is a core component: clients engage in nutrition education, physical activity, yoga, meditation, art therapy, and other mind-body practices designed to restore balance and build healthy coping mechanisms. The center also integrates spiritual exploration (non-denominational and client-led) for those who find it meaningful, while remaining fully respectful of all beliefs or none. Family involvement is prioritized through dedicated education sessions, therapy, and visitation to repair relationships and create a strong support system for discharge.

Hammocks on the Edisto accepts most major private insurances (in-network with many PPO plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and others-verification available), as well as self-pay and financing options. The small census and high staff-to-client ratio allow for genuine, one-on-one care, and the center has earned strong client feedback for its compassionate staff, peaceful and beautiful setting, excellent food, and life-changing results. Many describe it as a true “healing retreat” that treats addiction and mental health with dignity, expertise, and hope.
