About SummitRidge Hospital

Summit Ridge Hospital offers detox, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programming services for adults and adolescents.

The medically supervised detox program at SummitRidge Hospital is an adult only program. The entire process is overseen by medical staff to ensure safety and as much comfort as possible.

The inpatient program at SummitRidge Hospital is for adolescents ages 11 – 17 years of age. This program includes a psychiatric assessment, family therapy, group therapy, recovery skills, academic support, recreational therapy, and parent and teen support. Working through the need to use alcohol or drugs is important at a young age. Often those who need inpatient have underlying unresolved emotional challenges or a dual diagnosis that needs to be treated. This program is designed to help participants gain clarity on their challenges, and find new tools to support them in their lives.

The partial hospitalization program at SummitRidge Hospital is for adults 18 years of age or older, who have been diagnosed with a psychiatric condition, or who have been diagnosed with dual diagnosis. An evaluation is provided prior to beginning treatment to identify the appropriate level of care. In addition to doctor’s visits, therapy is provided. Psychoeducational classes on various topics, including specialized skills such as learning how to gain confidence when facing issues, are required to help create a healthy foundation prior to graduating from the program. A separate adolescent track is provided for those aged 11 -17.

The intensive outpatient program at SummitRidge Hospital is for those who do not need a high level of structure, but who still need to have regular intervals of therapy and group connection.
Many intensive outpatient programs meet three times a week. This allows for greater autonomy and the opportunity to practice the skills learned in a workplace environment, school, or home life. A separate intensive outpatient track is provided for adolescents.

A large majority of the staff, specifically Ruth and Audrey, Lindesey, are terribly incompetent, inconsiderate, rude, extremely neglectful, and abusive towards the patients. The only upper-level staff who showed any hints of compassion were Ron and the other group therapists. Prior to patient dismissal, they also compel patients to leave positive exit reviews under the threat that they will be kept even longer in this facility, in the same abusive conditions. I would never recommend this place to ANY person.

Where should I start I sent my fiance to the Piedmont hospital to get some help because he wasn't acting as his normal self and then they transferred her didn't say exactly where we was going or anything long story short I didn't know how this place works regarding his stay but I'm assuming he was only there for detox 5-7 days just to come home and go back to same thing he was doing how can y'all say y'all helping us for him to do better send him home with just one medication and that was just for depression you all didn't send the medicine for the alcohol so this place really doesn't help much especially for the family that want to see there love ones better. It's good for a detox but I fell that you all should prescribe both of the medication to help better it at home I really feel it was a waste of time honestly.

Accepted Insurance

SummitRidge Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

SummitRidge Hospital offers a variety of outpatient programs for individuals not requiring continuous care. Their Partial Hospitalization Programs (also called Day Treatment) and Intensive Outpatient Programs are offered during day and evening hours and allow patients to return home. Often, this programming is a step-down from inpatient care.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

This program is an intensive exploration of the impact addiction has on individuals and their lives. Recognizing and eventually accepting the problem is essential to effectively dealing with it. Patients receive guidance and support in learning to use the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to make positive changes in their lives.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober living homes in Georgia offers an alternative to the abrupt change of moving from intensive treatment to an unstructured home environment. Men's and women's sober living homes replicate everyday life situations, but they do so in a sober environment while also reinforcing healthy habits. This reduces the chance of relapse. Individuals who could use extra support after rehab or don't have a stable home environment can benefit from this transitional option.

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

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. For teens or adults needing detoxification from drugs or alcohol, SummitRidge offers inpatient medical detox for a safe, medically-supervised withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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.

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.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Family members are important participants in the program and their input and involvement is strongly encouraged. Their supportive environment helps facilitate the patient’s return to family or to the care setting most appropriate to meet long-term needs.

Too bad I can not put a lower score. I have never been impressed with state run facilities of any kind. My MIL ended up with multiple bruises plus fell once and hit her head. They also argue about their own doctors diagnosis of patients plus do not adhere to good medical practice standards. My wife had a doctors letter stating they should not send her with us because of my wife's medical condition and they refused to even acknowledge said letter. Sure there are some nice people there but overall a BAD facility that I would not even recommend for an animal much less another human.

FIRST the pictures provided ARE NOT what SUMMIT RIDGE looks like. When I got to Summit Ridge I waiting in the admissions for over 12 hours when the previous hospital called them and their was a bed ready. There was another patient in the waiting room who was went to admissions and over heard them talking that I was going to sit in their all night long. I know this because she ended up being in my group. Now to the other truth: Sleeping at Summit Ridge does not exist. The tech's come in your room over 15 minutes scanning your beaker (something like a tracking device) and shinning their light in your eyes. You are woken up 4 times person hour and sleep is supposed to be part of your therapy. My particular room was where the techs has their chairs set up and they could be heard laughing and talking all night long. The doors were left wide open so all the light from the hallways made it where each room was completely lite up. First day I was there in the Acute unit staff allowed a race war to continue without trying to stop it or separating them. One one of the people got a shot to make them go to sleep the other guy got up and walked up to a guy that looked almost like the other guy and decked him right in the eye. This man had to be in his 60's. That is the only time that they took action on anything. Second thru 7th day I was there I was placed in the intermediate group which is the last step from actually leaving the facility. There was a schedule that we were to follow but that didn't happen. We ended up in a room that was approximately 36 X 20 with at times over 25 people in that room with a TV. There was no structure in that room. Most people slept causing people to have to stand in the hallways due to not enough room. We were suppose to have groups several times a day and that didn't happen. While I was there I think we had maybe 7 groups total. So we sat for up to 15 hours a day doing NOTHING just looking at each other. We were provided cafeteria food 3 times a day, I will say that was probably the only good thing about the facility. The Nurses were the most disrespectful people in the entire world. I do understand that they are understaffed, but you should never treat patients the way they did. They would ignore you for hours on end, cuss at you, and even fight with each other in front of the patients. They never listened to a single thing anyone had to say down to "Can I please get toilet paper for the bathroom?" Going outside to the "YARD" was probably one of the most disturbing things because it was infested with bees. They refused to get anyone out there to spray and they put some people who may have been allergic in jeopardy. The trash sat out their without being changed the entire time I was there. You couldn't sit at any table because their were nest on them, but no matter where you went there were bees. The Nurses nor the Techs cared about anyone's well being. There was this patient who flipped out because she "Thought" someone said something about her and she taunted a girl for days. Verbally threatened her, spoke bad about the other appearance, and she was very loud at doing this. She made it where the other girl refused to each in the cafeteria with us due to the taunting. No one stopped her nor did anyone send her back to the unit for her behavior. We were all in there to learn something but due to her mouth and no structure how were we to learn anything about our mental health. She didn't only do this to the girl but she did it to the case workers, techs, and nurses. She was so loud the day I left that the Medical Director came out of his office to see what was going on. Which by the way was not a good thing and she thought now I got someone's attention.

The mental health groups in this hospital encouraged feedback from the patients, but did not ask more from them than they could handle. The Social Services post-hospitalization placement service is top-notch, tailored to the needs of the individual. The groups were not necessarily cognitive-based, meaning changing one's thinking, but encouraged more reflection on the patient from their point of view. Cafeteria is great, and so is the coffee. Daily exercise is available. Shampoo, bath soap, shaving supplies, fresh towels and washcloths, and dry skin creme available. A stay here is typically less than other area hospitals that serve the same need.

Terrible, simply terrible. Went there back in February of 2024 and just now was thinking about how terrible this place was. When I got there I had to wait 9 hours in the admission room by myself with the exception of one guy who sometimes left. There was absolutely nothing to do besides a T.V., and the seats were hard and hurt me after 9 hours of just sitting there. Therapy there was nonexistent, seats were very uncomfortable which just sucked especially since they locked our bedroom during the day. Most of the nurses were just rude. A lot of patient conflict and nothing was done to put a stop on it, disruptive patients weren't moved, etc. Hopefully that is the last time I ever have to step foot there!
