Latest Reviews
I have a loved one in Summitt Ridge, the staff has been helpful, kind and sensitive to his needs.I think gratitude to God goes a long way and if we continue to complain and make only bad reviews for facilities that keep our loved ones safe we are doing a disservice both to the patients and to the staff that work at these places.I feel negativity is spreading like a virus of the mind in our universe. My loved one was treated well, with kindness and love .Without the care that he received then he may not have made it .I will be forever grateful for the loving care my loved one was given while at SummitRidge Hospital. No place on earth is perfect and you can always find something to complain about if that all you do. But please remember , " The one who complains the most is the one that can be the most complained about." author unknown.Try looking for the good temper that with whatever you want to see changed, these people will work you.. People who work in the health care professions are vital to our communities physical and mental health. .Without vital these services and facilities many of us would have to deal with illnesses at home on our own. The fact that your loved one ended up here or at any hospital is because something was happening that we could not handle at home and needed professional care .So be kind, the health care professional is not easy, while you were quarantine safe in your home they were on the front line and still had to come to work and take care of our loved one, Hospitals can't close. We need to give health care workers more love/. We need them and we need them to hear that they are appreciated and if we have something that we feel is not right writing a bad review will not solve the problem, you may prevent someone who could be helped to not go for that help. Please don't do that.No Hospital , person or any institution is perfect but for my loved one and the treatment received and the way I was communicated with during my loved one's stay. Summit Ridge was perfect .My loved one might not still be had there been no place to go in this critical time and need of caring professional health care workers, I am forever grateful for SummitRidge Hospital.

Hi, Ayana. It means the world to us that you took time out of your day to leave us this great feedback. Thank you, and we hope you have a pleasant day.
My grandmother was sent here last month the first time we noticed her hallucinations, and we needed her in a safe place while she got a dementia diagnosis. The hospital mishandled her care throughout the entire duration of her stay and beyond; they gave her covid, lost our medical release of information request, and shipped her to another hospital without any medical history, a nearly lethal mistake as she got placed on an incorrect medication. As durable power of attorney, they made it impossible to get any information about what was happening. During phone time from 6-8, they dropped my calls while I was on hold. When we did get on the phone, the phone was so quiet we could barely hear her. My sister dropped off clothes while my grandma was there, and they lost the clothes. The front desk was terribly nasty to us when my sister and I were asking for information about her stay. This place does not deserve to exist.From what my grandma said, though this isn t fully to be trusted considering her mental decline, geriatric patients only have crayons to entertain themselves. And when she asked questions to nurses, they would say be right there and then never come speak to her.If I had the money, I would sue this place into the ground. It seems to be run by a mix of heartless and incompetent healthcare providers from my experience (and other reviewers experiences).

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient SummitRidge Hospital offers a variety of outpatient programs for individuals not requiring continuous care. Their Partial Hospitalization Programs (also called Day Treatment) and Intensive Outpatient Programs are offered during day and evening hours and allow patients to return home. Often, this programming is a step-down from inpatient care.
Inpatient Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Intensive Outpatient This program is an intensive exploration of the impact addiction has on individuals and their lives. Recognizing and eventually accepting the problem is essential to effectively dealing with it. Patients receive guidance and support in learning to use the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to make positive changes in their lives.
Sober Living Homes Sober living homes in Georgia offers an alternative to the abrupt change of moving from intensive treatment to an unstructured home environment. Men's and women's sober living homes replicate everyday life situations, but they do so in a sober environment while also reinforcing healthy habits. This reduces the chance of relapse. Individuals who could use extra support after rehab or don't have a stable home environment can benefit from this transitional option.
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 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.
Medically 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.
For teens or adults needing detoxification from drugs or alcohol, SummitRidge offers inpatient medical detox for a safe, medically-supervised withdrawal.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Family members are important participants in the program and their input and involvement is strongly encouraged. Their supportive environment helps facilitate the patient’s return to family or to the care setting most appropriate to meet long-term needs.
