About Coastal Harbor Health System:[Coastal Harbor Treatment Center / Coastal Behavioral Health]

Coastal Harbor Health System - Coastal Harbor Treatment Center is a Joint Commission accredited behavioral health facility. They welcome men and women aged 18 and older seeking addiction and mental health treatment in Savannah, Georgia. With specialized programs and quality affordable services, you’ll benefit from accessible care that meets you where you are in recovery. They accept most insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare, and TRICARE.

You can access a continuum of care, including medical detox, acute inpatient rehab, and various outpatient programs. That way, you can find treatment that works for you, regardless of your situation.

Each program offers expert backed strategies like group, individual, and family therapy, addiction education, relapse prevention, psychoeducational groups and peer support groups. These approaches can help you understand and change the behaviors contributing to addiction to gain coping skills for long term recovery.

What stands out most to me is their holistic options. They promote overall wellness, providing interventions to heal your mind, body, and soul. You can participate in yoga, religious services, weekend cookouts and animal assisted therapy. I like this feature because along with working on sobriety, you can nurture other important elements to encourage sustained recovery.

Their specialized opioid program is another incredible feature. Opioid addiction treatment typically uses a blended approach of medication assisted treatment and behavioral therapies. Their program provides ongoing medical support throughout detox and treatment.

Something else that caught my eye is their specialized military personnel program. They tailor this four to six week program to address the unique challenges and stressors veterans and active duty members face. You can access targeted interventions for grief, loss, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), civilian reintegration and anger management.

There is a disconnect to what was advertised versus what was provided. This facility is more of a holding cell. This experience was horrible. A staff member attempted to intimidate my child in front of me. Then she was caught talking about my child to another member of staff implying something was going to happen if someone did not get her (my child). I understand patients come for different reasons but ALL patients should be treated with care and respect. Please be clear this was My experience, I'm sure not all of the staff is horrible. Perhaps additional training should be provided for the techs that may be having difficulty with de-escalating issues, providing non bias care, and professionalism.

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. I am beyond disappointed and heartbroken by the treatment my daughter received at this facility. I beg you, as a parent, do not send your child here. This place could have been a supportive environment for my daughter in her time of need, but instead, it became a source of ridicule and mistreatment.The staff here was incredibly rude and lacked any form of compassion for my daughter or the other children in their care. Communication was virtually nonexistent aside from a call to get consent for medications, which felt more like a formality than a genuine attempt to involve us in her treatment. They wanted to place my daughter on five different medications at once, but I only consented to one. Without my approval, they increased her dose. When my daughter asked them about it, they lied and said they had gotten my consent.On her first night, she was made to sleep in cold paper scrubs, despite us bringing her own clothes. She was also placed in the male unit to sleep and forced to shower there multiple times, which is completely inappropriate. To make matters worse, she was only given water with meals, a basic need that was unnecessarily restricted.During her stay, I witnessed disturbing behavior from the staff, including one individual who appeared visibly high and another who took a Bible from the girls, threw it on the floor, and used it as a doorstop. This facility only worsened my daughter s anxiety, and it s heartbreaking to think of the lasting impact it may have had on her.I strongly believe this place should be shut down. No child should endure the kind of mistreatment that my daughter faced here. Please, for the sake of your child's well-being, find somewhere else.

I was here in 2020 into 2021, it was horrible, the staff were horrible, I was sent there from Wyoming, I witnessed a staff attempt to fight a 16 year old resident there, and she received no repercussions even though I imagine it was seen on the security cameras, the staff during the evening were awful, literally awful, treated us the worst and definitely picked favorites, if anything this place traumatized me more than helped me, don't send your kids here. IT IS HORRIBLE

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Coastal Harbor Treatment Center’s Psychiatric Residential Treatment Program (PRTP) offers an inpatient treatment option for adolescents and children struggling with ongoing behavioral, emotional and/or psychiatric problems. This specialized program for youth age 7 – 17 is the best treatment option for children whose behavioral issues have persisted despite acute or outpatient interventions.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in Georgia is designed to encourage an individual to get the treatment they need. This effort aims to break through resistance and motivate the individual to get help. The process typically involves loved ones sharing their concerns with the individual and how their substance use has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist can help guide this conversation and explain from the clinical side how treatment can be beneficial.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

A quality drug rehab in Georgia can help you overcome addiction. This environment is designed to help you address the complex issues contributing to drug dependence. The goal of treatment is to give you the tools you need to make a full recovery.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CMT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse. Using a Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic model, they address the individual’s presenting problems so that he or she can gain the coping skills necessary to be successful upon discharge and promote long term healing.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

During rehab in Georgia, you may engage in motivational interviewing. This typically lasts one to two sessions and is designed to address any ambivalence you have toward change. It helps you explore your current situation and motivations and commit to making changes for the future.

Worst place wasted my daughter Medicare dollars did not give needed support at all. When she was 12 they broke a bone in her shoulder while under their care. Did not inform me I learned when I came to visit and had to make a nurse come with me to explain what happened to her exactly. This caused my daughter to need pins in her shoulder. It was all because she has speech impairment and she was trying to tell someone a different Clint wanted to hurt a caregiver . These people think they can do just whatever they want to people

Extremely Disappointing Stay AwayThis place could be something special to help young kids, but sadly, it s far from it. What s supposed to be a place of rehabilitation feels more like a prison. There s a severe lack of communication between staff and families, and the night staff is especially unprofessional and cold showing no compassion whatsoever.Instead of providing proper care or support, their first approach is to medicate kids with a cocktail of drugs, rather than focusing on meaningful therapy or guidance. The therapy provided here is essentially a joke ineffective and dismissive. Many of the kids are driven to lie just to escape this miserable environment.If you re looking for a place that will genuinely help and nurture your child, do yourself a favor and stay far away from here. This facility does more harm than good.

My stay at Coastal Harbor was exactly what I needed to get better. Most of the staff were very respectful and caring. Yes there was one or two that treated the patients disrespectfully. The night nurse "Quita" was the main one. She would talk down to us or treat us as though we were less than. Ms. Lisa on t other hand was amazing and truly cared about us. When I left she gave me a hug and told me she loved me and that I was going to make it. Those words was exactly what I needed to hear in that moment. To all the Coastal Harbor staff thank you. You guys do so much for the patients in such a short time with being so short staffed.

This is just about the worst place you could possibly send your child if they are having behavioral/mental problems.I was admitted to Coastal Harbor from 2018 - 2019 for issues with defiance, impulse control, and stealing. And although this review is certainly not going to paint this facility in a positive light, I m not going to pretend I was a saint while I was there, either. I would get in fights, fake swallowing pills, steal, and do really stupid things to try to get high or gain approval from my peers. I was there for a reason.That being said, there are so many problems with this place that I don t even know where to begin.For one, The majority of the time in your Child s treatment will consist of them sitting in a large room and watching tv with other rowdy children. You would get two 30 minute therapy sessions a week, Sometimes they d let you go outside and play basketball, and there are some more activities for those with good behavior.This place has more in common with a jail than what you would expect from a rehabilitation facility. The other kids were generally aggressive and disruptive, as one might expect, But somehow, the staff are even worse.Not only are they horrible at de-escalating potentially violent situations, But they tend to rapidly escalate them at every opportunity, Whether it s by arguing back-and-forth with children to provoke a reaction, Or tackling them to the ground as soon as they get a hint of aggression from the kid. I want it to be clearthat the staff don t prevent fights whatsoever; They just intervene to tackle them once a fight has already broken out.My issues with the staff don t in there, Somehow Halfway through my stay, They lost hundreds of dollars Worth of my clothing and personal items that they had in their inventory, And it was never recovered or paid back. I m very surprised my mom didn t sue.They would also blatantly destroy or damage my personal items on multiple occasions, for reasons that made no sense. I remember one day coming back to my bunk after the staff did a routine search, Just to see the really nice deck of cards my dad had just bought me for my birthday scattered across my mattress with all of the cards bent to the point were I couldn t even fit them in the box. When I brought it up to the staff, they just blew me off and acted like it was no big deal, and there was nothing I could do because I was on a Streak of good behavior, and I was afraid I was gonna lose it if Any of them sensed a grain of disrespect.They would belittle me for telling my mom about things they did or said to me throughout the day, calling me a snitch and saying that s why They never do anything nice for me, Only only to turn around the next day and tell me how lucky I am To be able to call my parents to talk about my problems.I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: The majority of the staff on site are just as bad, if not WORSE than the children they are trying to rehabilitate . Some of the staff were great, and I will never forget them, but they were rare positive influences in a horrible environment that only made my bad mental state even worse.It s been about five years since I was discharged, and all things considered, I ended up in a pretty decent place. But I attribute absolutely none of it to CHHS. When they discharged me, I was in a much worse state than when I had arrived, and my behavioral problems at home only got worse as soon as I was let back in. I only ended up making the changes I needed to make in my life about three years ago due to necessity. The change didn t come from a bunch of authority figures deliberately testing my patience, Or from pumping six different prescription medications through my system.My change came while I was on the brink of being homeless and alone, I looked at every aspect of myself that I hated and decided to change everything I could. You can t beat that sense of self-awareness into somebody s head, all you can do is give them things to care about.

I don't care what anyone says negatively. I appreciate each and everyone of the staff at Coastal. I was in for 6 days and they helped me learn to cope with my mental health and actually cared about my well being. Especially Ms. Hannah and Mrs. Taylor. They made my stay not so bad. Thank you all so much

i went here twice around 2019ish. i dont remember the year- i dont really remember when anything happened around that period of time in my life. coastal harbor has made it extremely difficult for me to find help. i was 12 when i was admitted, both times(im 18 now). the first stay was ok, it was for around 6 days. the worst that happened was i got put in the paper scrubs. which, nonetheless, i hated. they didn't let me wear anything but a bra and underwear underneath, and i was maybe a medium? size small? and they only had those scrubs in xxl.my second stay, i would argue was traumatizing. it was around 3 weeks total. i've recently been diagnosed with dpdr from trauma, and this place has a place in that. my lightest story is how they put me on abilify. i had a reaction to it- i kept like, drooling and my jaw wasn't working right. from what i can remember, they left me on it for 2 to 3 days. my parents had to tell them to take me off of it. im just going to list off things i can remember.i had separation anxiety from my parents- still do. i wanted to call my mom during phone call time, and they wouldn't let me. they said i needed to calm down- given, i dont remember exactly what i was doing to warrant that response, but i do know im a people pleaser, and that my entire stay here both times was spent terrified and timid. im not the kind of guy to act out. (i do have autism though, so maybe the way i asked had a tone i didnt intend?) i was confused as to how i needed to "calm down," and that caused me to start breaking down, but i needed to talk to my mom so i forced myself to push it away and hide how i felt so i could call her. and i did. i managed to calm down. moreso disassociate. went back up, asked to call my mom. "we're going to need approval from the nurses to prove that you've calmed down enough." what???. so this is genuinely the one time ive acted out in any of the hospitals ive visited(shout out to st simons and lighthouse, theyre all ass). and by acting out, i mean sobbing and screaming and crying to let them call my mom. i didn't threaten anybody. not even for attention- i was just genuinely distressed. i didn't make any gestures or anything remotely offensive or threatening. but nurse stacy, and god she's.. something. hate is a strong word, but i strongly dislike her. heard me yelling, came out, and yelled at me to go to that little back hallway where the fight room is at, where the boys and girls hall are connected. she assigned ms tracy(please dont mix up nurse stacy with ms tracy, ms tracy is a godsend) to watch over me, but told ms tracy to not talk to me. but, ms tracy being the angel she is, asked if i wanted to talk aboht it and we whispered so nurse stacy wouldnt hear us. i got put in paper scrubs that day, and started this next story.(i was telling this story but exceeded the character limit) long story short, i was isolated for a week because of that. i wasnt allowed any communication with any of the techs or other patients- only the doctor and therapist maybe twice throughout.(i talk about SA/rape here)there was a girl admitted there, idk why. but she was very touchy. she asked me if i wore a bra, then asked to see. they roomed me with her that night. she ended up grabbing my tits and ass, crawling into my bed and asking to be my girlfriend. night staff walked in, told her to stop. she got 1 to 1 for a day, and was released shortly after. this shit isnt fair. i asked around, other patients roomed with her had been like, actually raped by her. but, i get isolated for a week for having a meltdown. makes sense.im in college now (these visits were from early middle school) and still get flashbacks. like actual, debilitating flashbacks. i dont understand how this could happen- these places are supposed to HELP. who manages this shit? i was 12 years old- i just needed help.because of these places, i cant reach out for help. i cant call hotlines without sounding genuinely psychotic because im terrified theyll send people after me to send me back here. thanks, coastal harbor. great help.
