Inpatient Rehab for Mental Health in Atlanta, GA

Our Atlanta residential mental health care treatment centers can help you develop a strong foundation for your mental health, away from the stressors and triggers that exist in daily life at home.

What Is Inpatient Mental Health Rehab?

Our inpatient rehab program provides a focused environment where patients can dedicate themselves to overcoming mental health challenges while staying at our specialized treatment facility. Designed for voluntary individuals who require residential psychiatric care but do not pose an immediate risk to themselves or others, our subacute treatment program offers personalized care. Each patient receives a customized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs, including individual and group therapy with licensed professionals, medication management, and access to recreational spaces for art, sports, and relaxation.

Is inpatient rehab right for me?

Selecting a program that meets your needs is vital to effective treatment and lasting recovery. Our subacute inpatient mental health program may be a good fit for you if:

  • You have a diagnosed mental health condition like depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or other mood disorders.
  • You feel that residing in a safe, supportive environment—free from stressors and mental health triggers—will help you concentrate on your recovery.
  • You are prepared to dedicate yourself to treatment and take meaningful steps toward improving your mental health and overall well-being.
  • You may also struggle with substance misuse, like drugs or alcohol, and would benefit from our dual diagnosis care.

You may require a higher level of care than our program can offer if:

You have a physical condition that requires a higher need for medical care, like wounds, drains, tubes, dialysis or another condition requiring active supervision in a hospital.

You’re at an immediate risk of harming yourself or others, including recent suicide attempts or aggressive behaviors outside your condition. 

You have pending legal issues, like being court-ordered to receive treatment.

How Dual Diagnosis Can Help

For many people, self-medicating their mental health condition with drugs or alcohol can provide temporary relief but worsen their symptoms over time. If you’re struggling with a mental health disorder and an addiction, treating both at the same time is key to a successful recovery. 

Many behavioral health facilities only offer one or the other. The licensed professionals at The Recovery Village Atlanta can not only treat both, but they’ll also help you understand the relationship between your conditions for more holistic healing.

Using Insurance for Inpatient Rehab

We recognize that cost is a key factor when choosing an inpatient rehab center. Many insurance plans cover some or all of the expenses for behavioral health treatment. The Recovery Village partners with most major and local health insurance providers. To check your coverage, visit our insurance page to verify your benefits.

Our Inpatient Mental Health Program FAQs

How long is your mental health rehab program?

The duration of an inpatient mental health program varies based on individual needs. In most cases, patients complete their residential treatment within two to four weeks.

Will I be forced to stay in treatment?

For a lasting and effective recovery, it’s essential to follow the recommended treatment plan. We highly encourage you to complete your program as advised by medical professionals. However, you have the option to leave the facility at any time, even against medical advice.

Can I transfer here from an acute mental health facility?

Yes, individuals who have completed acute-level mental health care at another facility and seek additional support before transitioning back to daily life are welcome in our subacute residential treatment program.

What happens after I leave your care?

From your first day in treatment, case managers start planning for your transition after graduation. They will connect you with outpatient therapy programs and mental health resources in your community, ensuring you have ongoing support when you leave.

What if I have a mental health disorder and an addiction?

Our dual-diagnosis treatment program addresses both substance use and mental health disorders simultaneously. During the admission process, our medical team will evaluate your needs and determine whether the mental health or substance use track is the best fit for you.

If you enter our mental health program but require substance use treatment, you’ll first undergo medical detox before continuing with additional group therapy sessions focused on addiction, all while staying in our mental health wing.

For those whose primary concern is substance use, treatment begins with medical detox, followed by inpatient rehab alongside others in addiction recovery. Your mental health needs will be addressed as part of your comprehensive care within this program.

How can I pay for inpatient rehab?

Many inpatient programs, including The Recovery Village Atlanta locations in Roswell and Stockbridge, accept health insurance. Your plan may cover some or all of the costs of inpatient rehab. If you don’t have insurance, private pay options may be available. To verify your insurance benefits, visit our insurance page—we are in-network with most local and national health insurance providers.

Will I lose my job if I go to rehab?

The law provides protections for those taking time off work for behavioral health needs. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible individuals can take job-protected leave while seeking mental health treatment from a healthcare provider. However, not everyone qualifies for FMLA benefits.

Will I lose my kids if I go to rehab?

Mental health disorders can make it challenging to care for your children. While child custody outcomes vary, seeking treatment and achieving recovery can often improve your chances of maintaining custody. Many parents arrange for a trusted relative to care for their children while they undergo rehab.
