West Georgia Wellness Center provides treatment in a structured residential setting rather than an acute-care psychiatric hospital. Residential care may be appropriate for adults who need 24-hour structure and clinical support but do not require emergency medical stabilization.
When Emergency Care May Be Needed
If someone is in immediate danger, has a medical emergency, or cannot remain safe, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Residential treatment is not a substitute for emergency hospitalization.
Adults Who Need More Support Than Outpatient Care
West Georgia Wellness Center serves adults 18 and older struggling with serious mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or both. We serve clients from throughout Georgia, including Atlanta, Marietta, Kennesaw, Columbus, Savannah, Macon, Augusta, and Gainesville, as well as clients from Alabama, Tennessee, and other Southeastern states.
Our programs may be appropriate if you or your loved one is experiencing:
- Depression that has not responded to outpatient treatment or medication.
- Bipolar disorder with unstable mood episodes.
- PTSD or complex trauma interfering with daily functioning.
- Borderline personality disorder with emotional dysregulation, unstable relationships, or recurring crisis episodes.
Residential care may also help with:
- Anxiety disorder severe enough to prevent normal daily functioning.
- Alcohol or drug dependence requiring a structured, supervised recovery environment.
- A co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder that has not improved in outpatient care.
- A recent psychiatric crisis, hospitalization, or serious relapse requiring intensive step-down support.

Every treatment plan is individualized by a multidisciplinary clinical team. Core evidence-based therapies may be combined with specialized modalities when they are clinically appropriate for the individual.
