The individual will undergo a brief and confidential assessment designed to help determine whether he/she would benefit from hospitalization or appear in need of another level of mental health or substance abuse treatment. The assessment is reviewed with one of our attending Psychiatrists who will determine if hospitalization is the necessary course of action. If not, the individual will be provided with recommendations for outpatient treatment or services. Top

We are able to provide care for some existing medical problems patients have; however, since we are not a medical-surgical hospital, we must make sure that we can safely manage any medical condition a patient has prior to his/her admission. For specific questions about exclusionary conditions, please call the Intake office at 912-354-3911.

Our dedicated treatment team is composed of board certified psychiatrists and other medical doctors, psychiatric nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, master's level therapists, a social services coordinator, and mental health assistants.

Each patient has an individualized treatment plan designed to address his/her behavioral health needs. Patients participate in group and individual therapy, recreational therapy and family counseling sessions throughout each day during their stay. Although patients have opportunities to enjoy free-time, they are expected to be active participants in their individualized treatment plan.

We will provide all medications that patients need during their stay. We will consult with their primary care physician to coordinate any specialized medical care.

Absolutely. Family involvement is a very important part of treatment. We encourage family involvement and invite family members to visit during regularly scheduled visiting hours.
Top
Yes. We have a dietician on staff who is responsible for ensuring that each patient's meals meet his/her dietary needs. We also have a full-service kitchen on site where meals are prepared daily.

Our hospital is designed to accommodate persons with physical disabilities provided that our medical staff determines their medical needs can be safely managed in our setting.

In some cases, yes. However, all medical conditions will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Again, this would need to be determined by our nursing/medical staff. We are able to accommodate patients on the anti-coagulants Coumadin and Warfarin with prior approval by our medical staff.
Top
We are required to comply with state and federal laws to keep patient information confidential. We cannot tell anyone that you have even spoken to us without written approval from the patient/guardian. If a patient wants us to release information to another party, they must sign a "release of information" form that specifies "what" information they want to be released to a specified person. Top
We accept most types of insurance. We also accept Medicare, Tricare, and GA Healthy Families Medicaid (Wellcare; Amerigroup; Peachstate) plans. Unfortunately, we cannot accept Peachcare or SSI Medicaid plans due to our status as a "free-standing" psychiatric hospital. Payment arrangements can be made through our Business Office for those without insurance coverage. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage, please call our Intake office at 912-354-3911. Top
