- About Perry Behavioral Health
A Place For Middle and High Schoolers in Crisis, To Thrive & Grow
Perry Behavioral Health treats adolescents in middle school and high school who are experiencing a mental health crisis, often for the first time. You don’t need to have exhausted every option to bring your child here. Our inpatient treatment facility is built for the moment when regular counseling isn’t enough, before things escalate further.
- Many of the teens we work with:
- Are showing signs of an identity crisis, mood instability, or suicidality
- Have experienced disruption at home or school
- Have a pre-diagnosed or undiagnosed mood disorder
- Have tried standard outpatient counseling, not intensive treatment
- What We Treat
An Inpatient Program Built Around Learning & Moving Forward, Not Standing Still
Primary mental health conditions, including mood disorders, identity crisis, and suicidality
Our program offers group therapy sessions divided by grade level group as well as gender-specific sessions.
We assist with medication management when clinically appropriate
Support for co-occurring eating disorder concerns alongside primary mental health treatment.
At our adolescent treatment center, we aim to empower young people to become their best selves.
- How We Treat
Real Conversations, Not Worksheets
At our adolescent mental health facility in Georgia, our clinical model is built on process-based group therapy – a deeper, more dynamic approach than standard psychoeducation. Groups are organized so conversations stay relevant and age-appropriate.
Groups are also separated by gender and by grade level (middle school vs. high school), so every conversation is developmentally appropriate, and every teen has room to speak honestly.

- We Don't Treat in Isolation. We Treat Families.
Family Is Part of the Program, Not Spectators
Perry Behavioral Health was built on the belief that healing a teenager means healing the family system around them. That’s why family involvement isn’t optional here. Parents and guardians stay at a nearby partner hotel during family weekends, making it easier to be fully present without the added stress of travel logistics. Our adolescent mental health center isn’t a place where you drop off your child and step back. It’s a place where your whole family does the work together.

An Honest Alternative
We know the reputation some adolescent programs carry — isolating kids from their families, keeping them away for long stretches with little transparency. That’s not what we do. Perry Behavioral Health is built on openness: with your child, and with you. We show you the real process, not a polished version, because trust is what makes treatment work.
“The treatment program at Perry Behavioral Health is top notch."
