villa rica georgiaThe Basics

Tanner Health Systems Behavioral Health Care is a non-profit facility that offers detox, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and standard outpatient care out of East Alabama and Georgia. Tanner provides services to both adolescents and adults struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.

Treatment and Staff

Stabilization and detox take place at Willowbrooke—Tanner’s behavioral health wing and 52-bed residential component. Those going through detox can expect to spend five to seven days at the facility, during which clients are monitored 24 hours a day to ensure a comfortable and safe detox. During that time, clients also start a therapy program which includes exercise, education and nutritional balancing.

Once this phase is completed, clients generally begin the PHP which runs for six weeks from 9 am to 1 pm, five days a week. Another option is IOP, which runs three days a week from 9 am to 1 pm as well. The adolescent PHP usually runs in the evening from 4 to 8 pm, though in the summer this shifts to morning hours. 

Treatment is therapy-based and offers holistic programming as well as animal-assisted therapy, equine therapy, expressive therapy and evidence based practices including CBT and EMDR. Those with a dual diagnosis are eligible for medication management services as well. Tanner is a comprehensive facility with medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, psychologistsLCSWs, LPCs and addiction specialists.

Extras

Tanner also offers an aftercare program which is ongoing and includes once a week individual therapy sessions. Specialty groups at the facility are dedicated to those with ADHD, pain management, self-esteem building, grief and loss, body image and anger management.

Tanner provides weekly equine therapy for all its clients in the outpatient tracks, as well as animal assisted therapy throughout the year by bringing puppies or therapy dogs to sessions as a way of soothing clients during times of stress. Expressive therapy methods, like art therapy, are utilized in some groups as a way dealing with stress and gaining insight into past traumas as well.

In Summary

Overall, the in-depth treatment provided at Tanner Health Systems is individualized and focused on each client’s unique needs and recovery experience. By providing alternative therapy options like art and music therapy, clients are able to open up to new ways of healing. In all, Tanner Health Systems offers a range of therapies ideal for clients wishing to combine traditional with alternative recovery methods.
