Perry Behavioral Health is a residential mental health program for middle and high schoolers navigating identity crises, drug addiction, mood disorders, suicidality, and the disruptions that come with them. We meet kids before things fall completely apart, and we keep families involved every step of the way.
Help Your Child Thrive
Structure That Feels Like Life, Not Like Treatment
Family Support & Involvement in Treatment
Keeping families connected in care
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.
Primary mental health conditions, including mood disorders, identity crisis, and suicidality
Co-occurring substance use is treated as a symptom of underlying mental health needs, not a separate, standalone issue
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) support when clinically appropriate
Reaching out to a trusted healthcare professional is an important first step toward getting help.
At our adolescent treatment center, we don’t draw a hard line between mental health and substance use. Many of the teens we treat are in the early stages of experimentation, using substances to cope with something deeper. Our mental health treatment approach addresses the root cause, not just the behavior.
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.

Weekdays
Weekends
Weekends stay structured, with outings to nearby parks and community activities — a rhythm that feels more like normal life than a treatment facility.
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.

Turn These Experiences Into Your Own Journey.
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.
