About Piedmont Counseling Services – Macon
Piedmont- Behavioral Health in Macon, Georgia provides mental health services to assist adults with psychiatric disorders or substance use disorder treatment. They provide individualized treatment plans for their patients based on a holistic view that treats the whole person.
At Piedmont- Behavioral Health their inpatient program is for those who need mental and physical stabilization. This is a highly structured and monitored style of treatment that incorporates detoxification as needed. Once stabilization has been achieved, counseling, educational classes, and behavioral approaches to treatment can begin. Common elements of inpatient treatment include individual therapy, group therapy, and at times medication or trauma-informed counseling.
Outpatient treatment programming is a more flexible approach to addiction treatment than inpatient programs. This service provides continued support for addiction recovery through individual therapy, group therapy, and educational classes on addiction. At Piedmont- Behavioral Health, group meetings and individual therapy are held once per week. The goal is to continue to move toward a life of recovery and a suitable aftercare treatment plan that allows for reintegration back into society. Family members are welcome to join in on Tuesday groups if involvement is deemed important for the family. Nursing care can also be made available for those who are navigating challenges with their health.
The stabilization services include pre-screening, assessment, admission, medical stabilization, and appropriate discharge planning. This service is intended to help medically treat people who are experiencing withdrawal issues from drugs and alcohol so they can continue to move forward with treatment. To begin the process, a medical history, new labs, and a nursing assessment will be performed. This is considered a pre-screening process that enables patients to be admitted with a personalized treatment plan. Patients who are experiencing withdrawal symptoms and who also have other health problems will be accepted.
