About SummitRidge – Athens
SummitRidge Hospital outpatient clinic is located in Athens, Georgia. The center has partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs for adults and adolescents. If you finished an inpatient stay at the main facility in Lawrenceville, you might be referred to Athens, or you can be a walkin starting your recovery. Both facilities are accredited by The Joint Commission.
Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs have the same outlook but are structured differently. Partial hospitalization basically means a day treatment program with lunch provided. In sessions, you’ll have dialectical behavioral therapy in a group setting and talk about your addictions and any underlying causes.
The intensive outpatient program is more flexible and has shorter hours per week. Lawrenceville has intensive outpatient, or you may be transferred to the Athens location. Minors between the ages of 11 and 17 are also eligible for intensive outpatient, although their program lasts only four weeks. During this time, you’ll still have group support as you transition back to your daily life.
