Drug Rehab Centers in Blue Ridge, Georgia

I've been in treatment 14 years. God and Medmark gave me my life back. If you truly want to feel normal again and get your life back on track then I suggest starting treatment ASAP. I have the best councillor anybody could ever have. Sherry Barnes knows me inside and out! The reason I don't go to a clinic closer to me is because of Sherry. You've got to have a councillor that you trust or your treatment could become jeopardized. So if you are ready to get your life back then I suggest Medmark and Sherry Barnes!

I have been going to this treatment center since August. In that amount of time I have seen people heal from opiate addiction to move on to healthier and better lives. I will say that the counselors at this clinic care deeply about each one of the people who walks through the door every day. If you struggle with addiction, I would suggest calling and talking to one of the counselors. Truly they care.

Broke down up here in Blairsville on our way home to Marietta. Needed to guest dose for 3 days and they ended up going above and beyond to do what they could to help us. Extremely thankful for this place. The director is definitely a lot more helpful and nice than the director at our home clinic. Definitely recommending them to anyone that needs them in this area. Joy, Shauna,and the dosing nurse are wonderful people and helped us when we needed it the most. Cant say thank you enough!!! ----Alicia and Brad----

Fast professional service every time we have been there.

The Blairsville clinic is the BEST place to go for healthcare in Georgia! The staff is very helpful, informative and friendly. The waiting room is clean and comfortable. A special thanks to Jessica Collins & Melissa Anderson!!! You both totally ROCK!!! This is the very FIRST time my husband has left a doctor's office with a smile on his face! We cannot say enough about the quality of care and service at this location!!!

Friendly people, usually don't have to wait long for the scheduled appointment. Will answer questions.

I love highland rivers....!! I am a dual diagnosis and they have helped me immensely

Kimberly is a jewel..she has been very helpful with my child..ty Kim

Hi. I just want to say this is a great facility for detoxing and peer support. But, when I came here I was not able to receive the medication I needed when I found the one that worked. I told my doctor that the adavan the nurses were giving me worked and that I was calm and aware of my surroundings. He said to take lithium and I said No because I have been on so many drugs in the past and they did not work, that because I knew the adavan worked to give me that. I started arguing with him and then I left without any medication except for the one pill that actually worked the first night I got there. So now it's been 5 months and I still have the same underlying problems; paranoia, anxiety, negative energy, hate, anger, and pessimism. I just want the nurses and health aides to know they are very good people and do a good job and the psychiatrist is a big fat nimrod with a paper shredder degree. Thank you.

Embark Behavioral Health in Benton, TN, was truly a lifeline for our family when we had no other hope. Our 13-year-old son just completed the program, and the transformation we ve seen in him is nothing short of incredible. His ability to regulate his anger has improved tremendously, and we feel more equipped as parents to support him moving forward.A huge part of this success is thanks to his therapist, Kevin, who was an absolute Godsend. Kevin has the patience of a saint and not only helped our son but also taught us as parents more than we ever thought possible. The guidance and support we received throughout this journey were life-changing.If you re on the fence about taking this step, I encourage you to do it. It s scary, but for us, it has been the best decision we ve ever made for our family. We are forever grateful to Embark!

If you are searching for a residential program, you have found it. I cannot express the true impact the team in Benton has had on our family. Beginning on day one, they tirelessly invested in not only our son, but our family as one unit. The support and care is unmatched and we are so grateful. They have helped us restore the peace, understanding, and love within our family.

Our 15-year-old son went to Embark on 12/2/24 and was discharged on 3/9/25. Before Embark, he struggled with a whirlwind of emotions that made day to day activities difficult for him and those around him. He had been in therapy since he was 3 and we felt like we were just spinning our wheels and going in circles. The anger and aggression was escalating and property destruction was frequent. Our son struggled with low self esteem, communicating with others, intrusive thoughts, suicidal ideations, and even a suicide attempt. After several acute stays and a lot of back and forth about what the next steps should be, we decided to give residential a try.After being denied by a few other facilities, we felt defeated. Then I saw an ad for Embark on my FB feed. After combing through the website, I called. The process was fairly easy and VERY thorough, which I loved. When we got the call that there was a bed available, I was so nervous. I hadn't spent more than a week away from any of my kids and here I was about to send a part of my heart off to some strange place nearly 8 hours away from home and trust strangers to care for him.From the moment that we stepped foot in the front door, we were welcomed with open arms and treated like family. The knots that were in my stomach began to fade away and I knew that he was in good hands. Chris was our son's therapist. He challenged our son to think on a deeper level and access some things that he buried a long time ago. He treated our son with compassion and structure that was much needed and we cannot thank him enough. The residential and rec staff are amazing as well, and have really made a lasting impact on our son. Chef Dan was amazing and took time to listen to our son when he needed to talk (our son has a passion for cooking, too). School has always been tough for our son. At Embark, he recieved the supports that he needed and actually started to enjoy learning again. Each staff member got to know our son and it was so nice to hear other people point out his strengths instead of focusing on the things that he struggles with.Family Days were well thought out and engaging. Each activity allowed us to learn more about our son and ourselves. We were able to realize things that needed to change in our family system. We were challenged to see things through the eyes of our child, and with that came a lot more understanding, communication, and grace with each other.When we got the call that our son would be discharging, it was bittersweet. He was a little sad to leave his friends and the staff that he became so fond of. We were nervous about how things would go when we returned home. The transition planning was done wonderfully. Ian helped us make sure that everything was set up back home (therapy, meds, school). He even sat in on an IEP meeting that occurred over a week after discharge and has followed up with us to make sure things were going well.We are very pleased with the progress that our son has made in the short 3 months that he was there. He made real connections with peers; something that he has struggled doing since he was little. He learned to embrace the things that make him unique. He discovered talents that he didn't know he had. He experienced things that he likely would not have experienced at home.Since returning home, he has definitely gotten frustrated and angry (it is inevitable with 4 siblings). The difference is that he has learned so many skills and how to implement those skills at the right time. Situations that would have escalated to thrown/smashed furniture and screaming that lasted hours three months ago are now a few huffs and puffs and a little grunting that lasts minutes. We have definitely noticed his efforts in using his coping skills since he's been home and I am so proud of all the hard work that he has put in and the growth he has shown.I would 100% recommend Embark at Benton to anyone who is looking into residential treatment for their son. If we ever get to a point where it's needed again, we know where we will calling first.

So, I have a different story than most as I have not attended any Program here, but through a referral by my Therapist I was connected with Megan as I was looking at their IOP program. OMG - She has gone so far above and beyond to help me it is insane!!When it was discovered that due to UHC and they horrible coverage of late, I am not able to get into The Carter Center without incurring significant costs that would be impossible to overcome. Meagan RECOMMENDED that I look at other facilities and proceeded to list them and their locations - even willing to make a call to an in-network provider much closer to my home.This is such an amazingly refreshing perspective I know in my heart that they are in the business of helping people who want/need help and not just check a box because of a legal requirement. I truly felt like the lady in Miracle on 34th street (even though I'm a guy) who was told by Santa to go to another store to get a product cheaper.Megan - Thank you for all that you do to help people like me struggling with Alcoholism and other substance abuse issues!!!!

Wow what a facility! And it s beautiful in north Georgia! Amazing staff, love Addie!

This is a wonderful place that I have seen turn so many peoples lives around for the better! All the staff are so passionate and all around awesome. Big shout out to Addie who is always so helpful and informative! If you are struggling and need help and support, this is the place to go. Carter rocks!!

When I first came here I expected it to be a terrible place due to all the negative thoughts I would have. Starting with the first month I thought I was absolutely losing my mind. there were routines I wasn't used to, new faces, rules, etc. Heading towards the second month I would always end up getting into things like drama and used it as a distraction, which I thought would help but it didn't. By the third month I had learned a LOT. I stayed to myself more often, I was used to my meds, the routines, food, etc...Staying to myself more made it a lot more easier to cope and actually think before I speak since I struggle with impulsive behaviors. As I reached my fourth month I came towards the end of my treatment, I felt I guess, calm. even though sometimes things were hectic, I knew how to handle things the appropriate way. I learned boundaries, communication, and how to be assertive. with gathering all of this almost at once and having a bonus of having it together made me feel calm, I wasn't stuck with the screaming in my head, it was quiet and I could think. Overall, my thoughts on this place is pretty positive. yes it has its ups and downs but it was pretty great to have help. the only thing I really had a problem with was some of the food ... It was just the thought of having almost the same thing everyday. I also met a lot of good people, including the staff members. I would mention shout outs but I wouldn't want any of the other staff members to get offended .Overall, great nurses, BEST DOCTOR EVERRRR (Mr.Dr.Nurse.Jennings)Great place -Kayleigh :)

Parkridge Valley is one of a kind, the staff are amazing they helped me through everything I was going through. Especially the following techs, Ms. Meka, Ms. Keisha, Ms. Jackie, Ms. WoWo, Ms. Megan, and Ms. Erica, all of these techs helped me through what I was going through, they were the ones that kept me on track and didn't give into my urges. The Nurses, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Hallie were amazing at their job. The social workers were amazing and cared about what you had to say. Ms. Catherine and Ms. Sara they always provided us with something fun other than sitting on the unit. Even on the Acute side all of the techs and nurses were more than amazing. I Love Y'all.---CiCi

This hospital has greatly impacted my mental and physical health. When I first got there I thought that the program was absolutely just a waste of time, that I would never get better. After a solid 3-4 months in that hospital i learned so much. The people that helped me in there were a literal life changer for me. if it wasn t for all the staff, nurses, and patients that helped and supported me through my worst, I probably wouldn t even be here typing a review on how much this place helped me. I love this big family that helped me through my worst. Ms Morgan Ms Amy Ms chloe Mr Dj Mr Jarod Ms Emily Ms Brooke Nurse Bryce Nurse Kelly Mr doctor nurse Joseph Nurse Lindsey Nurse Denice Ms Taryn Doctor Jennings Ms Cressie Mr Erickson Mr John Mr Kenny Ms Skyla Ms Amanda Ms Kendall Mr Ben Ms Marissa Mr Daniel Mr JasonI love all of y all and I thank you for your support and love, now continue that for others that come into that hospital just like I did. Parkridge valley didn t fix me, it gave me the push I needed to fix myself. - Pass patient (BE)
