Questions people ask about Atlanta Medical Center South - Behavioral Health Services

What programs does Atlanta Medical Center South - Behavioral Health Services offer?

They provide inpatient hospital and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Atlanta is set up for.

Is Atlanta Medical Center South - Behavioral Health Services an option for someone over 65?

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Atlanta.

Is there a pregnancy program at Atlanta Medical Center South - Behavioral Health Services?

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Atlanta.

Are there alternatives to Atlanta Medical Center South - Behavioral Health Services?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Atlanta, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Atlanta Medical Center South - Behavioral Health Services?

No. If medication matters to you ask directly, because it is the hardest thing to change later and not every place around Atlanta offers it.

What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?

The two feed each other, which is why handling them separately tends to work badly. Not every center has a prescriber for psychiatric medication, and that is a concrete difference to ask about. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.

Is there a waiting list?

A bed is not something anyone can hold for you on a maybe, which is most of why lists exist. Many programs offer an interim option while you wait, usually outpatient sessions or a daily check in. Ask what is available this week, not just what the program is.

Do I have to tell my boss?

Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
