FAQ
Adults
No. Anyone can call our Intake office 24/7 to schedule an assessment. We receive referrals from former patients, parents and loved ones, emergency rooms, physicians, schools, mental health professionals and many others.
Our adult programs include services that meet the needs of the patient at whatever level of care they need. We offer inpatient treatment for individuals age 18 and older for those with psychiatric disorders, substance abuse problems or both. These individuals are in immediate need of a secure environment in which to recover from the crisis that precipitated their admission. We also offer a period of rehab for those who have been medically stabilized or detoxed. Our outpatient services include two programs: partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP). Both of these programs provide therapy during the daytime hours while allowing patients to return home in the evenings. And finally, we proudly offer our military services program that specializes in the care and treatment of those who are currently serving, or have served in the armed forces. For more information on any of these programs please call our Intake and Admissions office at 912-354-3911 or 844-657-2638.
A psychiatric evaluation is completed at admission and the treatment team will immediately begin addressing the circumstances and problems that brought the patient to us. Each inpatient hospitalization stay varies in length depending on the clinical and medical needs of the patient.

Children & Adolescents
No. Anyone can call our Intake office 24/7 to schedule an assessment. We receive referrals from parents and loved ones, former patients, emergency rooms, physicians, schools, mental health professionals and many others.
Our inpatient program has two levels of care for children and adolescents. Our Acute care program is for those children ages 4 – 17 who are at risk of harming themselves or someone else. Those kids that appear to be in an emotional or psychiatric crisis and need immediate attention and a secure setting in which to recover are those that are appropriate for this program.
Our Residential program is a long-term treatment program created for those youth ages 7 – 17 who have a history of psychiatric or behavioral problems and for whom other treatment programs have not been successful in the past. These kids need ongoing therapeutic intervention in a secure environment to help them learn new coping techniques in order to transition back into the community.
Each patient’s length of stay is variable. A treatment plan is created by a team of mental health professionals to include our psychiatrist and licensed therapists, and each child plays an active role in his or her treatment plan. Parents may discuss their child’s progress with the therapist provided they are on the release of information as required by HIPAA.
