About Pineland Behavioral Health/Developmental Disabilities — Appling Counseling Center – Baxley

Pineland Behavioral Health/Developmental Disabilities (BHDD) is a nonprofit organization in Southeastern Georgia that helps people experiencing mental health issues including substance use disorder. They serve children, teens, adults and seniors. At their Appling Counseling Center in Baxley they offer outpatient community based addiction treatment for adolescents and adults.

One common concern for people seeking addiction treatment is how to afford it especially without healthcare coverage. To help make getting help easy they accept Medicaid and Medicare. They also accept commercial insurance like Amerigroup and CareSource. If you don’t have insurance then you can qualify for a sliding fee scale so you can still get the care you need. Sliding scale fees are based on your family size and income.

Pineland BHDD is working toward becoming a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC). CCBHCs are designed to serve anyone who needs care, whether it’s for mental health, addiction or other health issues. The best part? They provide services to people regardless of income or insurance and that includes veterans and active duty military members.

Their outpatient addiction treatment program includes individual, group and family therapy. Group therapy can be especially valuable by offering a space for people to connect and share experiences. Family therapy helps loved ones understand addiction. It’s really important to involve family so you have that extra support during recovery. Therapy also helps uncover the root causes of addiction including related issues like anxiety or depression.

But the program doesn’t stop at therapy. You’ll also get a better understanding of addiction and learn practical tools to prevent relapse. Aftercare is a big part of the process too. It includes follow up therapy and connections to local support groups like 12 step programs. Nurses and doctors are also available to help with any health concerns you have during recovery.

Pineland BHDD wants to build a community where people can get the support they need to recover, live their best lives and feel included. With their community-based approach they offer a place where you can find the care you need to move forward in recovery.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

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.

Treatments

Programs

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

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.
