SummitRidge Hospital

In Athens, Georgia, SummitRidge Hospital's outpatient clinic provides specialized treatment for adults and adolescents via intense outpatient programs and partial hospitalization. The Athens facility is a crucial component of SummitRidge's continuum of care, whether patients are starting their rehabilitation as walk-ins or are moving from an inpatient stay at the main hospital in Lawrenceville. The Joint Commission has fully certified both the Lawrenceville and Athens facilities, demonstrating its dedication to providing high-quality care.

At SummitRidge Athens, partial hospitalization offers a structured day treatment program that includes lunch. Dialectical behavioral therapy is used in these rigorous group therapy sessions to treat addiction and its root causes. In order to provide patients with the care they need during the day and enable them to return home in the evenings, a thorough therapeutic experience without overnight stays is the aim.

SummitRidge's intensive outpatient program provides fewer weekly treatment hours with the same therapeutic emphasis for those who want more flexibility. This program, which is offered at both the Lawrenceville and Athens campuses, is meant to support people as they return to their regular lives. The intense outpatient program, which lasts four weeks and is intended to provide group support as they reintegrate into their routines, is also available to adolescents between the ages of eleven and seventeen.

About 30 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta in Lawrenceville, Georgia, SummitRidge Hospital provides a variety of treatment options for drug misuse and mental health issues. SummitRidge provides individualized treatment for adolescents, adults, older individuals, and their families with the goal of long-term rehabilitation and mental wellbeing via inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient programs.
The Joint Commission's accreditation of SummitRidge Hospital attests to its commitment to the highest standards for patient safety and healthcare quality.
