About Legacy Behavioral Health Services – Valdosta, Georgia

Legacy Behavioral Health of Ashburn, Georgia offers residential and outpatient treatment of mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders to clients of all ages. Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accredited, they accept Medicaid and Medicare as well as many types of private insurance. As a result of their services, they claim a decrease in homelessness and crime, a decline in school dropout rates, and a decrease in emergency room visits.

Striving for a person centered approach, they provide many different types of evidence based treatment. One of these is the Living in Balance program, which uses role playing and group discussions with a strong emphasis on relapse prevention.

There is also a focus on relaxation exercises and recreational therapy. Another option is the Seven Challenge Program, a program specifically for young people with drug use issues. This is designed to address substance use in concurrence with common situational and psychological problems.

In addition to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), motivational interviewing, EMDR, and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), they also offer a range of programs concentrating on the indigent and incarcerated. Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) is a SAMHSA funded program that provides substance use treatment with community mental health, job training, and educational services. Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), developed in 1985, is the premier cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program for substance users and offender populations.

Cognitive Behavioral Intervention, which can be used alone or incorporated into a larger program for criminal justice populations, places an emphasis on activities like building coping skills for avoiding substance use.
