Legacy Behavioral Health Services

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 6 centers within 14 miles of Valdosta, 2 offer a bed.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Valdosta is the nearest place that does it, 2.5 miles away.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Valdosta does.

They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Valdosta is worth confirming before you drive over.

Valdosta has 11 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Most programs will say plainly whether they sit on a court's approved list. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.

Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.

The two feed each other, which is why handling them separately tends to work badly. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. Ask whether both are treated in the same place or one after the other.
