About Peachford Hospital

Peachford Hospital is located in a secluded part of the Dunwoody suburb in Atlanta, Georgia. Their bright and welcoming facility is surrounded by a towering forest that creates feelings of serenity and privacy.

They offer inpatient and outpatient treatment for substance use disorder, co-occurring disorders, and mental health concerns. Their facility has plenty of natural lighting, wood accents, and decor that give off a warm vibe.

Quality Care at Every Age

One thing great about Peachford Hospital is that they’ve gone the extra mile to ensure their programs cater to a wide variety of age groups. Adolescents and seniors have vastly different priorities and experiences that impact their recovery journey, and respond best to treatment that considers these differences.

For example, their adolescent program includes an accredited schooling program to ensure kids stay on track with their education. Their senior services include things like sensory stimulation, which helps patients with dementia express their feelings without words.

Treatment That Prioritizes Education

Each Peachford Hospital program places particular emphasis on education. The care team believes that understanding the nature of addiction plays a huge role in helping you overcome the challenges of maintaining sobriety.

They also spend a lot of time working with you to design personalized and comprehensive discharge and aftercare plans. These give you a roadmap for navigating future trials associated with lifelong recovery.

I was worried about taking my son here because of the reviews. But my son s nurse at blanks s new hospital rest assured me that this place was nothing like the reviews depicted. She done her clinicals there. But my experience was definitely positive. I called throughout the day to get a status on my son they were very nice over the phone. He definitely is a lot different now since he left. He definitely don t want to be back. In a good way. I definitely recommend.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehabs feature intensive clinical supervision and a highly structured and supportive environment, meaning they are especially well suited for clients in early recovery and those at risk of relapse. Clients reside at the treatment facility and engage in various therapeutic sessions throughout the day, including addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many programs also offer evidence-based complementary therapies, such as meditation and massage.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients enrolled in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) travel to treatment centers for specialized care multiple times per week. Intensive outpatient treatment allows clients to receive robust care while continuing to live at home. Most programs require between nine and 20 treatment hours per week, with the frequency and intensive of sessions decreasing as clients stabilize. Services generally include a combination of addiction counseling, medication assisted treatment (MAT), recovery-focused life skills training, and holistic therapies.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Designed for individuals who don't require round-the-clock care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a form of outpatient care with a higher level of support. PHP treatment can be an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down option. With daily sessions lasting 6 to 8 hours, up to 5 days a week, a partial hospitalization program may offer medication management, relapse prevention techniques, and behavioral therapy interventions. PHP treatment can be fully or partially covered by insurance.

24-Hour Clinical Care

24-hour clinical care in Georgia reduces the risks involved in detox and addiction treatment. Without access to professional medical care, individuals may experience withdrawal symptoms that become life threatening. For example, alcohol withdrawal can cause delirium tremens, confusion, and cardiac symptoms. Without medical supervision to step in, these symptoms could potentially turn fatal.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Men and women in Georgia may experience Motivational Interviewing techniques while undergoing individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This approach helps you explore how you feel about drug use and it strengthens your commitment to maintaining treatment. It is particularly useful in the early stages of recovery.

DO NOT COME HERE, DO NOT SEND A LOVED ONE HERE EITHER. I wish that I could remember all the employee names and write them here. I was really anxious and scared about my first time in a psychiatric hospital. Thinking about my experience brings me to tears, and brings up trauma that I had not experienced before. I had a psychotic episode in there and was pushed a lot, given medication that I was not supposed to be on The workers talked about me a lot, and I could hear them. I know that I was a difficult person to deal with because of the episode however I wish someone would have told me that it was going to be okay. Instead I was mocked and a worker told me that she would not want to be related to me. But I was in crisis. I was not myself in there. They were never clear about my discharge date. I LEFT ON A STRETCHER to the hospital because I hurt myself during the episode, but the kicker is that they never alerted the EMTs, it was a friend. I wanted to seek legal action but I was told it would be their word against mine. I had nightmares and PTSD symptoms when I got home. I don't know who responds to these reviews, nor if the people who work there are still there, but know that whatever is done in the dark always comes to light and one day you will have to answer to Source about the way you people at their most vulnerable. I am healthy and doing better and I am reaching my goals, I AM LOVED, I sought help from people who actually cared. I am helping others, and I will never be any of those things you said I was.

Spencer Kukla

if i could give a lower review i would. this is not a hospital. i don’t even know where to start, i came here for help and i was genuinely traumatized. i’m 18 yrs old and i came here seeking help for my sh thoughts. when i get in i sat in a waiting room for 10 hours before anyone even talked to me, with the exception of someone bringing me a sandwich once. when i actually got into the hospital, i was immediately treated like a prisoner. the staff do NOT see the patients as human beings, and i was even personally told “everyone who comes here are bad people” by one of the staff members. they hold grudges, threaten to take certain rights away, and treat you like an inconvenience when you ask for simple things. i was refused to use the bathroom on multiple occasions and even had my FOOD rights threatened. (not that the food is edible in the first place) i was manipulated into taking pills i made very clear I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE. i asked to talk to the 24/7 therapist and was refused because i was “overreacting” and “unstable”. the staff is very rude and have absolutely 0 respect or care for the patients. the staff is also extremely underqualified. they do not care about your needs or symptoms, and multiple other patients on my unit had snuck things in because of how poor the security is. there is way too much to put in just one review, never come here. you are not a human at peachford.

Heidi Crofoot (GOLDEN CHEESE)

This place is HORRIBLE. I, an autistic teen, was sent for suicide. I was refused my medicine for two days even though my mother had given them the OK that it was fine for my medicine as soon I as I was in there. They also treat the patients like animals that have rabies, telling teens that they would take away our phone calls (which they did) if we kept talking and being loud. The food there was terrible and felt like it was weeks old. I was told that I was insane and mentally unwell because I was scared of being in an unknown place without my mother. DON'T SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! I was still think of death after going there, proving that it did nothing. I now have frequent nightmares about this place and scared of hospitals.

Please do not bring yourself, a family member, nor a friend to Peachford as it will cause more trauma. I felt as if I were being punished for finding help. It is clear that funds are not allocated to the facilities. The staff is underqualified, underpaid, and overworked. I describe Peachford as prison adjacent. Not even the bare minimum is provided to patients who need support. Patients sleep on rubber gym mats with a thin blanket. Shampoo and body soap are not allowed; you can only bathe with foamy hand soap from the mounted dispenser. Food is inedible. There is nothing to do between group sessions except for color or play sudoku. Patients are allowed only 30 minutes a day to go outside. The rooms are locked from 9am - 5pm so you are forced to sit in the small and freezing dayroom in boredom. You have to ask every time you need to use the restroom. The staff in unit 4 made me feel like a complete inconvenience and a bother. One day, the 5 gallon igloo cooler was not refilled so no water was provided until the evening. It took days for one patient to get a translator. One patient who was obviously suffering severely from anxiety was told by a staff member to "stop it" and that she "can control it". My external doctors wished I had contacted them prior to checking myself in because other patients have also had awful experiences. I am aware my review will not cause change to happen at Peachford. My only hope is that someone reads my review and does not go to Peachford for help or support because they will not receive it.

Thanks for taking the time to share this review. Could you please visit https://peachford.com/contact/ and provide your contact information so we may be in touch with you personally? Thank you in advance for your time.

This place will save your life. People act like it’s supposed to be a 5 star hotel and it’s not. But you are always fed and have a bed and access to a shower. They will find you the right medications but it takes time. It’s terrifying no one wants to be in there but it’s life saving.

It is very thoughtful of you to leave us such positive comments. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We hope you are doing well!

puppy girl

Absolutely horrendous. Was constantly going back because the help was insufficient. Was in waiting room for 12 hours. Staff was extremely disrespectful, doctors were creepy and flirty and misdiagnosed me several times, Got put on 6 medications within the span of a week. Social workers set me up with a group therapy that didn't even take my insurance. Clothes got stolen even tho I never shared it.. it's not the worst of the worst but you could definitely do better.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. Please visit https://peachford.com/contact/ and provide your contact information at your convenience so we may discuss your review. We appreciate your time and hope to hear from you.

If I could give a zero star I would! Please do NOT send your child here if you care about them! My daughter was doing their outpatient program and on her last day there, a psychiatrist 10-13 my daughter with no probable reason! When I arrived she was locked in a little room crying her eyes out! I demanded to see proof of what she apparently said, no proof. I demanded to speak with this dr, he wouldn't talk to me. I got NOTHING. I was forced to leave my child there for a mandatory 48 hours! During this time we called at LEAST 20 times and got little to nothing. Night 1, they told me she would not receive her night medication because the dr had already made rounds! I demanded them to contact the dr because that is not right!! My daughter called me Friday night bawling her eyes out terrified as she has never been away from family! Saturday morning we began calling EVERYONE there. Nurses, house supervisor, anyone we could think of nothing. The nurses will over talk you, cut you off and not want you to speak. Finally after lots of demands the dr calls us Saturday night. We had an 11 minute conversation with me ending the call with if my daughter isn't released after this 48 hour hold, I will have an attorney at the facility Monday morning! Saturday night again, my daughter called histerical. In fear. Said staff was LAUGHING at her for crying!!! STAFF! PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING THESE KIDS. She also said the dr said she was there until atleast Wednesday! I assured her that we are doing everything in our power to get her out! She said that she was told she has to give blood work and if she didn't let them that they would hold her down and strap her to a metal table! Again I told her they would ABSOLUTELY not be doing that! After our call we immediately called the nurses. The ONLY nurse that let us voice our concern and heard us out was Diane. She was an absolute blessing! Saturday night she held my daughters hand until she fell asleep because she was so scared! Sunday morning, we began blowing up the phones again. My daughter was sick. They said dr ordered blood work. Again! Absolutely not. If she is sick enough that you think she needs it, release her where we can get her the help she needs! Finally at 1 I called the nurse and again demanded to speak to this dr. And the dr signed discharge papers! I say all this because these kids need parents to ADVOCATE FOR THEM! YOU AS THE guardian have the right to refuse blood work. SPEAK UP! A nurse even told us she shouldn't have been there! They are money hungry and it's disgusting!!! Your kid will need therapy when they leave this place! My daughter said it was HORRIBLE. All the kids she knew had been there longer then she has! Parents be their VOICE! They can legally keep them for 48 plus additional 5 days without court order! I have requested all medical records, I have requested my insurance to not pay out ANYTHING. This place is disgusting! ALSO RECORD EVERY PHONE CONVERSATION! 4/29 UPDATE- Have given my information several times like asked with no return calls. Submitted records request and was given the bare minimum. I asked for all records including medication given and nurses notes to which no AVAIL. I suggest yall get it together before you have several law suits! FAMILIES. DO your research!!!

I have came to a conclusion where my 17 year old son needed more assistance with help with his behavior outside of his parents in home and his psychiatrist so my recommendations from author children’s hospital recommended me to send my son here which I told told 5 to 7 days depending on his behavior his behavior was very different being around different nurse due to shift changes and doctors so it didn’t to well the first couple of today’s in this facility but as of right now his behavior is stable and have progressed a lot nurses have been providing more good news regarding his behavior which is more encouraging on my son to know that he would be eventually coming home after the family session with social worker so right now I’m very disappointed with the current news receiving that the discharge date have change for my son due to him not engaging more with the group therapy sessions daily but my son is interacting with his peers and nurses and doctors more than what he was so it’s very discouraging to be told one thing with discharge dates especially if I’m being provided that my son behavior is extremely progressed I’m not happy with how the doctor have not reached out to me the week in a half that my son have been admitted here due to the doctor is more in control of discharge dates so yes this is very traumatizing for my son and I at the time because the confidence and stability that he have over come to Transition to come home now that I was told the discharge date is not Efficient is not good news for my son or I so I feel like no discharge date shouldn’t have been giving if they wasn’t for sure if my son would be coming home soon I wouldn’t recommend this facility to others within this disappointed discourage news and this is current information meaning 4/28/25 😡

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We take your comments very seriously and would like to learn more about your concerns. So that we can better assist you, please provide us with your son’s full name and location in our facility by visiting https://peachford.com/contact/. Again, thank you. We hope to hear from you soon.

I normally would never leave a review but this place is so traumatizing. I was sent here against my will and was told I’d be leaving in the next couple days, but that was far from the truth. I was lied to multiple times by the staff, not given simple things like a brush and deodorant, and even didn’t have water at some times. I never even saw a real doctor, and when I saw the nurses it was for about 1 minute a day and they did nothing. I was drugged by the nurses and given the wrong medication. I asked them to double check if this was my medication because it was not the pill I normally took. They said yes so I took it and I was asleep for almost 24 hours. The staff did NOTHING. After some research on the pill when I got out, I realized it was a high dose for Schizophrenia. I normally took Zoloft for anxiety and depression. I didn’t feel normal for almost 2 weeks after given this medication. My mom tried to call check on me multiple times, and they would put her on hold and waited until she hung up and they never even told me she called. There is not one positive e thing I could say about this place. They just want your insurance money and will keep you for as long as they can. It felt like prison and it was NOT where i needed to be. I came out so much worse than when I went in. It was genuinely the worst week of my life. Places like this make people not want to reach out for help. I was told this place would help me, but in reality I needed therapy after because of how bad this place was. My family and I are working on finding a lawyer because of the medicine issue. Disgusting place. NEVER send anyone you love here. I wish I could give 0 stars. Marvanisha Washington was my "social worker" who lied to me on multiple occasions. When my family arrived to pick me up, she had failed to complete any of my release forms, just making the process even more difficult. She was rude, unprofessional, and treated patients horribly. UPDATE: Provided my contact info after being asked to and no one ever reached out. Just goes to show how much they truly do not care.

Thank you for the review, Rachel. We would like to work with you directly about your feedback. Could you please visit us at https://peachford.com/contact/ to provide us with your contact information so we can reach out to you? Thank you.
