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 went to peachford back in 2021. Honestly back then their outpatient program wasn’t too bad, however the inpatient program was a nightmare. The nurses was very rude and didn’t ever try to de-escalate any problems that would happen between the girls. I remember when they came to take my blood at 3 in the morning the nurse who did it coughed on the needle, failed to inject correctly the first time, then without changing the needle tried again then moved it around in my arm. It was incredibly painful and when I silently shed a tear she told me, “toughen up and get over it” (I also have VERY visible viens so I don’t understand why it was so hard). They also would make us strip down to nothing when we admitted which felt incredibly violating. The nurses would slam clipboards to scare us, made us do a tiktok trend at the time for their enjoyment, and didn’t stop a girl actively self-harming AFTER I informed them multiple times. The food was terrible and I am picky eater and had a hard time eating it. If I didn’t finish my plate the nurses would force me to finish before I could leave and they constantly asked/told me I had anorexia (I do not). Overall, there are 100 more things that happened but this review would just become too long. I was 15 when I went and if anyone is considering going, DON’T, it just causes more trauma to deal with.

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.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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 iconInpatient

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 iconIntensive 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 iconPartial 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 icon24-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.

Alcoholism is a pattern of alcohol use that involves continued drinking even when it causes problems. Alcoholism is also characterized by a physical dependence on alcohol, which causes the body to experience withdrawal symptoms when alcohol is not present. Due to this physical dependence, medically-supervised detox is often necessary to safely recover from alcoholism. Alcohol rehab in Georgia offers a three-step process of detox, rehab, and maintenance to help individuals recover from alcohol addiction.

A quality drug rehab in Georgia can help you overcome addiction. This environment is designed to help you address the complex issues contributing to drug dependence. The goal of treatment is to give you the tools you need to make a full recovery.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Addiction treatment programs in Georgia help individuals to address substance abuse problems. With various programs available, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization programs, you can find the right level of care for your specific needs. You can generally expect drug and alcohol rehab to incorporate evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), skills training, recovery meetings, and mindfulness-based therapy. When combined, these interventions can successfully help you overcome addiction and continue to enjoy long-term mental health.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

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 thumbnail image

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 thumbnail image

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).
child-program thumbnail image

Child Program

The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image

Seniors Program

Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.

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.

During family therapy sessions in Georgia, members address the emotional toll that addiction has had on them. Therapists help your family develop coping strategies and improve the family unit's communication. This provides a stable environment that supports the recovery process.

By incorporating recreational therapy into an addiction treatment program in Georgia, you learn to discover new interests and develop health and healthy coping mechanisms. Activities could include painting, group sports, or yoga. These encourage social interaction and support your physical fitness, which are vital factors in a successful recovery journey.

I want to start off with this is the worst place that I have ever heard of, they have my 11 year old grandson down there for 5 days and they have only let him call his dad one time and they are a bunch of liars and they don't ever return a photo call

Almost 10 years later and I still get this pit in my stomach anytime I happen to drive past the entrance. This place is so negligent I can't believe they haven't been shut down. My medication was withheld for 2 days even though its extremely dangerous to stop cold turkey because the doctor couldn’t be bothered to show up to work and they wouldn't just follow my prescription for some ridiculous reason. Kids ate in the same room as the male patients, some of whom would stare at us. Barely saw the sun or fresh air for a week. Yelled at by staff for no reason. Had to hide belongings under the mattress so other patients wouldn't steal them. Was told by the aforementioned doctor - with fresh cuts on my arm mind you- to get over myself because other kids had it worse. Strip searched. I was 14.

I just want to say that the staff and doctors at this facility did an awesome job with my daughter. My daughter was cooperative and received the treatment well and was released without any problems. The staff was professional and kind to me and my daughter. Not sure what all the bad reviews are about but from what I saw they were organized and clean and on point. Wayyyyy to go peachford!!!

ZERO STARS!!! They are holding my child against his will and our will even after mandatory 72 hours is over. They have not followed any legal process. Peachford claims a 72-hour emergency hold, but apparently, “72 hours” is just a suggestion. My child was kept well beyond that, with no clear explanation or timely communication. Safety and care are important, but so is respecting the law and parents’ rights. My child reports that the therapies inside are superficial and of little real use, which raises serious questions about the value of the care provided. Social worker Sheinies has no respect for others time. The nurse in Unit 6 makes false claims that I signed a paper for another extended 72 hour care and when I denied that, she is saying it is verbal signature. Dr. Suneel Katragadda hasnt retuned any calls even after requesting for last 2 days. He is interested not in patient care, but in billing I guess. When my child told him about GA state wide academic event, his response to my child was, you cant prepare for the event in 4 days. Which educated person says that to a child? If you value transparency and following the rules, you might want to look elsewhere. Peachford’s version of “emergency care” seems to include extended confusion and frustration for families. I see the owner responding to all one start reviews but looks like that is one more eye wash and not like they really care.

Worst psych ward I've ever been in: doctor did no work, told me to keep taking my clozapine when I have bad side effects and it doesn't work on me AT ALL -- PROVED IN THE PAST -- (did no psychiatry, did not talk to me about my illness). I came in with no voices (entered to avoid family) but at one point broke from the bad treatment and started hearing voices. Ghetto stone garden was the only relief. Main room contains giant, molded, brown chairs, maybe three tables, and people who can't stop talking. Two people with dry voices talked for so long that I got a headache and started puking. Very noisy there. I was set to be discharged, but they moved me to a quieter ward and promptly lost the paperwork. Psychiatrist refused to correct the situation. He hated me and began avoiding me (and in the end the only psychiatry he did was give me access to a drug another psychiatrist recommended to me), talking to every patient but me. I ended up going to state because he wouldn't discharge me. I tried to change doctors, but that never works in a psych ward. Not enough blankets and bad mattresses. It was long ago, but I think I remember the staff as being mean and moody -- loudmouthed, barking -- like they hated their pay. Eventually, it got on my nerves. They also promptly took my clothes away and didn't return them until discharge. Other people didn't receive that treatment. Also, this facility is dangerous because if you deny medicine, they keep on raising the dose, so you could potentially take a too high dose of medicine when you start taking the medicine again.

This is an UPDATE from my previous review. Sadly, no stars can be added. My niece was with teenagers for the first few days of her stay, even though she is only 10 years old. She witnessed several altercations and became so upset, they had to medicate her. When she was finally transferred to the ward for children, Then she was able to go outside, meet a puppy and engaged with children, her own age and her own developmental level. She was not given any opportunities to go to the vending machine and they didn’t provide any evening snack, even though the information provided said both would be an option. This establishment should only be used when dire circumstances prevent any other option, and if it is absolutely necessary, make sure you are diligent about your loved ones. Cause a ruckus if you need to…advocate, advocate, advocate!
