Getting here...

Individuals may be referred to any of Peachford’s programs by a general practitioner, psychiatrist, psychologist, or other mental health professional either in private practice or associated with other hospitals.
Inquiries can also be made by family members or patients themselves by calling 1-770-455-3200. Following an assessment, admission is then made by a Peachford admitting physician.

Programs are offered on various schedules, including days, evenings, weekends and combinations of these. The programs are of varying durations, and because some are used as a transitional step between an initial crisis and/or reentry into daily living activities, a patient may be phased into more brief duration of treatment than normal, depending on the need.

The Family Plays a Big Part

At Peachford, family involvement is a vital part of our treatment process. Because the patient returns home frequently, it is important that family members become actively involved in the therapeutic process.

Our counselors and staff educate family members on the patient’s treatment goals and needs. Just as importantly, our counselors assist family members in working through their own feelings about the process.
