About Highland Rivers Health Calhoun Gordon County
Highland Rivers Behavioral Health provides recovery services and treatment for clients of all ages in Calhoun, Georgia. They support clients who are dealing with substance use or mental health disorders as well as intellectual developmental disabilities. I like that as a public safety net provider they focus on helping folks who have low income, are veterans or receive Medicaid or Medicare. Clients who don’t have coverage qualify for a sliding scale discount based on income.
If I needed treatment for myself or a loved one then I would choose a facility that is accredited by CARF. Highland Rivers Behavioral Health CARF accredited and also is one of the state’s largest behavioral healthcare providers.
Their substance support services promote recovery from addiction. Each person will get an individual treatment plan aimed at helping clients become resilient, able to cope without substance use and become independent. I appreciate that staff will meet with clients in a variety of locations including your own home or at community locations like shelters. This gives folks the privacy and safety they need. I also really like that staff have flexible hours to be able to assist those who need help outside normal business hours. Family members or loved ones can be included in your treatment plan if you request it.
A unique feature of the program are the drug court groups they offer. These groups focus on giving court-mandated participants counseling and skills they need. If you are involved in a drug court program, this is an effective alternative to sentencing for nonviolent offenders.
Highland Rivers also has a group counseling and skills training program. In it, registered individuals will learn how to move toward independent living. You’ll learn about recovery and wellness, healthy living, social skills, communication and more.
