PeachfordHere s my honest opinion this far as my daughter is still staying here.* First of all, she has lice now. She said all the girls do. Which great I m so glad I get to deal with that when she gets home but we ll live.* Communication is seriously lacking , but all in all, I believe she s being cared for to the extent a hospital can do so.- We are only allowed 10 mins to speak with our children a day. Okay, I can somewhat understand but 2 days in a row that has been compromised.- I still haven t spoke with my child today & yesterday she called me, in clear distress (after their time frame) & the call was ended abruptly. It took 45 mins after that before she called me back. They snatched the phone off the hook when she called me the first time. Reason for distress , was understandable on both sides - hers and their reason for the cause. I understood. (It s 8:40pm) However , they will completely ignore the phone if they choose to do so (the nursing staff with the children). I have not gotten a single bad report on my child since being there, yet here we are a second night without any communication from the staff as to why I haven t heard from my kid. I finally got through to the unit and the nurse said the kids were just chaos and they restricted phones. These calls are also to reassure parents our children are okay, not just for the kids. This is my child s first time somewhere like this & she s hardly ever away from me as it is, so leaving me to guess on her safety and well being for days at a time is just insane to me.- As for the medical care, her Dr is Alkatib and our first initial conversation was very relieving and he gave me the information to make my own decision about her treatment plan which I appreciated, however I have not heard from him , an assistant or anyone similar since which is very frustrating. I finally got a projected release today from a therapist , but until now my child has been there 5 days and I ve had no clue.

If I could give zero stars I would have but I don t even know where to begin on this place. They are very unprofessional and they told me at intake that we could visit on days other than scheduled days as long as it was approved by a Dr. also told us that we can call and talk to them. That s a lie! I had to call and beg them multiple times to let me talk to my 8 year old child they can only call ONE parent and it s only 7 mins long they said that 1013 were a 72 hour hold. That s another lie. My child was there for 6 days.. the staff is rude and they lie to you saying your child doesn t want to speak to you.. they also don t send over the medication that they put your child on to your local pharmacy because we went to pick it up the day he got out and the local pharmacy told me that peachford hasn t sent it over yet and the peachford pharmacy was closed when I called to get them to resend the meds my son needed immediately.. this place is an absolute joke and I do not recommend to anyone of any age. The only staff that were good were the people at the front desk and my sons social worker at the end of the visit but that s it!

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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

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

Inpatient rehabs feature intensive clinical supervision and a highly structured and supportive environment, meaning they are especially well suited for clients in early recovery and those at risk of relapse. Clients reside at the treatment facility and engage in various therapeutic sessions throughout the day, including addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many programs also offer evidence-based complementary therapies, such as meditation and massage.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients enrolled in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) travel to treatment centers for specialized care multiple times per week. Intensive outpatient treatment allows clients to receive robust care while continuing to live at home. Most programs require between nine and 20 treatment hours per week, with the frequency and intensive of sessions decreasing as clients stabilize. Services generally include a combination of addiction counseling, medication assisted treatment (MAT), recovery-focused life skills training, and holistic therapies.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Designed for individuals who don't require round-the-clock care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a form of outpatient care with a higher level of support. PHP treatment can be an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down option. With daily sessions lasting 6 to 8 hours, up to 5 days a week, a partial hospitalization program may offer medication management, relapse prevention techniques, and behavioral therapy interventions. PHP treatment can be fully or partially covered by insurance.

24-Hour Clinical Care

24-hour clinical care in Georgia reduces the risks involved in detox and addiction treatment. Without access to professional medical care, individuals may experience withdrawal symptoms that become life threatening. For example, alcohol withdrawal can cause delirium tremens, confusion, and cardiac symptoms. Without medical supervision to step in, these symptoms could potentially turn fatal.

Treatments

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.

Programs

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Child Program

The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

Seniors Program

Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

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.

Men and women in Georgia may experience Motivational Interviewing techniques while undergoing individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This approach helps you explore how you feel about drug use and it strengthens your commitment to maintaining treatment. It is particularly useful in the early stages of recovery.

Was told by the doctor that crying meant I was unstable and offered me a sedative to "calm down" when I took a deep breath. The breath was to help me calm down, genius, and I feel like fighting back tears would be a normal response from anyone who was told that half their time incarcerated there would not count because of the weekend and their time away from family would have to be doubled. That's disheartening to hear when you were initially told that you would be leaving the following day. It's an overwhelming experience to be locked up there.Ms. J is one of three staff members in the building who actually cares. Mr. Sam is also on that list. I can't recall the second lady's name but she kept me so calm during intake and helped me feel better just seeing her smile when she came to the unit.I couldn't eat anything for the week I was there because nobody could guarantee that the plates did not include the ingredient that I am allergic to. The doctor's exact phrase was that I was solely responsible for avoiding my allergen but I was only given an ingredient list if the item came to me factory sealed. My food options were effectively saltines and Graham crackers. At one point, I became so violently ill that I could not keep liquids down. The staff did not care. They offered me a single dose of Zofran and went about their day. I slept a full 24 hours with the only time staff coming to check on me being when the doctor made her rounds and asked me how my appetite was. As if I would have an appetite at all while my body is rejecting water. No sense at all.Zero staff communication. Inconsistent quality of care. Two minutes or less with the physician before they hurry you out the door because they "have 80 patients and not much time". Then the techs would yell at you for not spending enough time with the doctor. Never spoke to a therapist. Staff refused to stop calling me the wrong name the entire week I was there. The Rachel Maddow looking tech would be nice to white patients but roll her eyes and throw attitude at any of the POC. All in all a very negative experience.The only thing I really got out of my stay here was that it does not benefit me to express when I am feeling low so I should never tell a Healthcare professional how I really feel ever again.

Sid the science kid

They did a good job at making me never want to come back here, which made me stop reaching out for help and I probably never will agian, who knows? I might be dead all because of how traumatic this hospital was. One time I was experiencing a mental breakdown/anxiety attack, one of the employees made me sit in a corner and cry, I got tired of people looking at me so I asked to use the bathroom, I sat on the floor and couldn't stop crying, I was even screaming for help. Employee threatened to kick the door down and screamed at the top of her lungs to get me out, I started to scream and cry harder because of then, later on since my coping mechanism eas harming myself, I dug my nails deep into my arms, and she didn't care until then, she started to yell at me and threw me outside the door. There I saw 3 other people crying in the hallway, one with their nose bleeding. I got out in 5 days, but I lied so I didn't stay there long. Not to mention I stayed one whole day in the waiting room.

Hannah Ray

I am now 11 weeks pregnant and when I stayed there I said I would prefer to not be on medication since I m trying to get pregnant and if I do go on something it s something to be a meds I was on before that works. Put me on 2 medications that had a black box warning and I took myself off the meds less than a week when I came home because I almost house ridden due to the medication making me so sick physically, fainting, anxiety, palpitations and my body so heavy.Also I ve had seizures and diagnosed by 2 neurologists and in the women s ward they gave me a medication to treat anxiety not the seizure and left alone.

Atalaya Webster

Dr. Frank Vizen was amazing, wish I had seen him more! He seemed to care about what was going on with me. My stay was only three nights, the nurses/assisting staff, Ms. Jay, Ms. Shay, and Ms. Mecca (if misspelled, I m so sorry!), they are phenomenal women! They helped me so much while there. The housekeeping staff was rude, and would say things in Espa�ol about the patients. But a great stay otherwise!

This is the most ridiculous hospital I ve ever had to deal with, they need to be closed down. My daughter was there, the staff is very unprofessional which is a group of young people. They rude and mistreat the patients. This facility is about the money not the health of the patients. I ve called so many time and don t receive no answer. The place is horrible.
