About Emory University Hospital at Wesley Woods
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Emory Addiction Center specializes in psychiatric and addiction treatment. Care is available to individuals aged 14+ regardless of gender, race, or background. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, most major insurance options, including private and employer-based plans, and Federal health insurance marketplace plans. Financial assistance is also offered.
Formerly known as Emory University Hospital at Wesley Woods, behavioral health, psychiatric, and addiction treatment services now specifically live at this center. Due to their psychiatric care services, individuals with co-occurring or dual-diagnosis disorders and mental health issues are also welcome here.
Programs offered at this center include age-appropriate and targeted outpatient substance abuse programs for teens, and for adults respectively. Intensive outpatient programming is also available. Their ‘Adolescent Substance Use Treatment Services’ is designed for individuals aged 14-26. These targeted services focus on getting to the bottom of what triggers addictive behaviors, while teaching individuals everyday tips and strategies on how to avoid reaching for substances when they feel the need to do so.
Both the adult and teen programs offer personalized care and encourage individuals to join peer support groups outside of the program to supplement their care. Psychiatric assessments are also offered in both programs, as well as individual, skill-building group therapy, and family support groups. Adults can also access medication management, including naltrexone and buprenorphine, as part of their treatment.
