Riverwoods Behavioral Health

About this facility

Riverwoods Behavioral Health delivers compassionate care for teens, adults, and seniors with mental health and substance use concerns. Located just outside Atlanta, the hospital offers both inpatient and outpatient programs, guiding each individual from their first visit through personalized treatment plans to address their needs and support them on a path to recovery. For those struggling with addiction, starting with detox followed by residential care can provide stability. Riverwoods uses an evidence-based approach to mental health and substance use concerns. Clients can find support through proven modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strengths-based counseling, psychoeducation, expressive therapy, and creative outlets such as art, music, and recreational therapies. These methods are thoughtfully integrated into individual, group, or family sessions to promote healing on every level. Relapse prevention planning is incorporated into treatment to help clients maintain long-term recovery. At Riverwoods Behavioral Health, shared accommodations offer both comfort and a built-in sense of community, helping clients feel supported throughout their stay. Their campus offers thoughtfully designed spaces for both recreation and renewal, including a fitness center, full-court gym, and a spacious courtyard with a gazebo. The campus offers a peaceful space for reflection, all while remaining conveniently close to nearby cities. Riverwoods understands that recovery is on-going, and they work to equip clients with the tools necessary for lifelong healing. To support clients after discharge, the hospital is now offering aftercare group sessions to carefully guide clients through the reintegration process. These groups are offered at no cost and are open to current and former clients. Those following the 12-step model can also attend weekly on-site meetings.
