They have no therapist there. I've heard the doctor scream at his staff many times. So unprofessional. And uncaring.....
About Newport Integrated Behavioral Healthcare, Inc.
Newport Integrated Behavioral Healthcare provides mental health care and addiction recovery support for children, teens, and adults in Decatur, Georgia. You can find many different levels of support here, including residential detox and different types of outpatient services. They accept private pay, commercial insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare.
Sometimes, people need to remove alcohol or drugs from their bodies before they can safely begin their addiction treatment. This process can be dangerous and even deadly if someone tries to do it on their own, so it’s best to detox under medical supervision. This facility will allow you to live on site while you’re going through this stage, making sure you’re taken care of and providing treatment for withdrawal symptoms.
If you struggle with opioid use you may be able to join the medication assisted treatment (MAT) program. MAT allows you to use approved medication to manage cravings and lower the chance of relapse during treatment.
Outpatient care involves one on one counseling with a dedicated specialist. These services can vary in intensity and duration based on the amount of care and support you need. The partial hospitalization program is the most intensive, followed by the intensive outpatient and general outpatient programs. You can attend your counseling sessions alone, in a group, or with your family.
The neat thing about these counseling sessions is that they’re gender and age specific. That means you’ll be in there with peers who can relate to your needs and life experience. Some of the topics you’ll discuss include how to cope with stress and anger, how to relax and meditate, and how to prevent a relapse.
A former client said they cannot speak highly enough of this facility, and that it saved their life. Others echoed this statement and said they owe their life to the care they received.

The wait time is ridiculous. They are my 13th reason why I won t turn to places like this anymore.
The owners of this place are Incredibly cheap. All meals are cold and probably come free from Piccadilly Circus and we (patients) have one microwave to heat all meals. One pot of coffee for all staff and patients every morning. That's right, One pot. All rules are not written down so they yell at you when you break them. After four days I couldn't take it any longer. The whole place needs a paint job. Not a plant in the whole facility. The owners must be pocketing the government money they receive. Did I mention there were only five of us patients even though there were 30 or 40 cots, not beds, available. TV reception was unwatchable. No book swap. No exercise room. No toiletries so bring your own. The staff are way overworked too. I felt like a prisoner rather than a patient.Stay away!!!
