When Your Teen Needs More Support
High-achieving communities come with their own pressures: academic expectations, sports, college planning, and constant social comparison online. Many teens hold it together at school and fall apart at home. Others withdraw, stop sleeping, or start using substances to cope.
Residential treatment may be the right next step if your teen:
- Hasn’t improved with outpatient therapy
- Is struggling with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder
- Has expressed suicidal thoughts and has been stabilized but needs ongoing care
- Is facing an identity crisis or major disruption at home or school
- Is using substances to manage underlying emotional pain
If your teen is in immediate danger, call 911, call or text 988, or call the Georgia Crisis & Access Line at 1-800-715-4225.

What Peachtree City Families Can Expect at Perry
Teen-Only, Age-Appropriate Care
We treat middle and high schoolers only. Groups are separated by gender and grade level so every conversation fits your teen’s stage of life.
A Structured Day That Feels Like Life
Community group, therapy, online school, and evening activities like art therapy and clubs, plus weekend outings to parks and community activities.
School Stays on Track
Online schooling is built into every weekday so your teen doesn’t fall behind during their 90- to 120-day stay.
Family Involvement That Fits Your Schedule
Weekly family therapy sessions can be virtual or in person, so you can stay involved from home. Monthly family weekends bring you to campus, with a nearby partner hotel for parents.
