About Murphy Harpst Children’s Center
Murphy Harpst Children’s Center is a residential treatment program in Cedartown, Georgia, for children and young adults.
The center sits on 160 acres in the foothills of Northwest Georgia, and residents attend an accredited school there. It cares for 75 children, plus young adults who stay on past 18.
Referrals and Admissions
Every child at Murphy Harpst arrives through a referral, whether from DFCS, the state’s child welfare agency, the Department of Juvenile Justice or the Office of Refugee Resettlement. There’s no route in for a family that isn’t already working with one of them.
The center runs residential care, with no outpatient treatment or sober living in Cedartown. Children live on campus and get individual, group and family therapy, and equine assisted psychotherapy gives them a way to work on behavior and relationships with horses. Living where the treatment happens keeps school and therapy in the same place.
Paying for CORE Services
CORE Services are for anyone whose daily functioning is significantly affected by a diagnosed mental illness or a substance use disorder that co-occurs with it. Medicaid and state funds pay for the program, and substance use counseling is one of the services inside it.

Young adults who turn 18 there can stay on, and the Transitional Living Program houses 18- to 21-year-olds leaving residential or foster care while they learn to live on their own.
