What is Residential Mental Health Treatment?
The program offers a supportive environment near Atlanta at St. Mary’s Wellness Center, where participants reside while undergoing comprehensive and intensive treatment for a range of mental health disorders. The duration of the program is personalized, typically lasting anywhere from 30 to 90 days, depending on each individual’s unique needs, progress, and specific treatment objectives. During their stay, residents engage in evidence-based therapies, participate in group sessions, and benefit from holistic approaches designed to foster healing and recovery. The center provides a peaceful and nurturing setting, allowing individuals to focus fully on their mental wellness and personal growth.
Goals of the Program:
Stabilization of Immediate Psychiatric Symptoms
The primary goal is to swiftly alleviate acute psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or psychosis. This will involve personalized interventions that may include medication management, crisis intervention, and supportive therapies, ensuring that patients experience a reduction in distress and a return to a baseline level of functioning.
Development of a Holistic Treatment Plan
We aim to create an all-encompassing treatment strategy that not only focuses on psychological health but also integrates physical health considerations. This means addressing co-occurring medical issues, promoting lifestyle changes like nutrition and exercise, and incorporating therapeutic modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and psychoeducation to foster overall well-being. By developing comprehensive behavioral health care plan, you or a loved one can find long-lasting success from treatment.
Empowerment Through Tools and Strategies for Long-Term Wellness
Our objective is to provide patients with practical tools and coping strategies to manage their mental health effectively. This includes skill-building workshops, access to support groups, individual therapy sessions, and ongoing monitoring, empowering patients to take charge of their recovery and cultivate resilience for sustained mental wellness in their daily lives.
Program Features
Participants engage in a structured daily schedule that includes individual therapy, group sessions, and therapeutic activities. All aspects are designed to promote healing in a controlled and safe environment.
Our team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and medical nurses who specialize in a broad range of mental health disciplines, ensuring expert care for all participants.
The program is hosted in a state-of-the-art facility designed to feel like a home away from home, providing comfort and security. Facilities include private therapy rooms, communal living areas, outdoor spaces for relaxation, and specialized treatment areas for physical wellness activities.
