Adolescents Treatment Program

Inpatient programming is our most intensive level of care and is recommended in the treatment for the acutest cases of emotional, behavioral, and chemical dependency disorders. The typical length of stay on our inpatient program is 3-5 days but can be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the adolescent. Our inpatient treatment program is located South of Atlanta in Riverdale, Georgia

While in our inpatient program near Atlanta, Georgia, our adolescent and teen patients are housed in a safe, secure, locked environment under the around-the-clock supervision of our multi-disciplinary team of licensed masters-level therapists, mental health professionals, pharmacists, nurses, and doctors. Upon admission to the inpatient program, the adolescent, and their parent or guardian will meet with our team of professionals to gather all needed history of illness and symptoms. With this knowledge, we can organize and structure a treatment plan best suited to the needs of the individual. Every patient will attend individual as well as group therapy sessions. Since adolescents are typically a part of a family system, we utilize family therapy sessions to address family issues and concerns in order to better provide a safe and seamless transition back into the home environment upon discharge. Patients will be seen by a psychiatrist within 24 hours of admission and then daily to begin and manage medications when and if necessary.
