<p><strong>ABOUT GEORGIA REGIONAL HOSPITAL - SAVANNAH</strong></p> <p>Georgia Regional Hospital at Savannah (GHRS) is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/GA16.pdf" target="_blank">one of 20 health facilities operated by the state</a>. The facility provides <strong>residential treatment for adult Georgia residents</strong> with mental and behavioral health disorders, including substance abuse disorders, through its three care units. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The treatment process at Georgia Regional Hospital at Savannah (GHRS) begins with a series of <strong>initial assessments</strong> to determine the specific needs of each client. Depending on their needs, prospective clients may enroll in one of the three separate care units. The <strong>Adult Acute Care Unit</strong> emphasizes stabilization, treatment, and discharge, the <strong>Secure Care Unit</strong> is geared towards those involved in the criminal justice system, and the <strong>Recovery Care Unit</strong> focuses on helping clients develop sober living skills.</p> <p>Along with <strong>medication management</strong>, counseling and other evidence-based treatment approaches, the treatment process focuses on a <strong>combination of holistic and experiential therapies</strong>. Music and art therapies are a common part of the treatment process.</p> <p>To facilitate treatments more effectively, social workers provide case management services for clients. Social workers also help clients <strong>set realistic goals</strong> with treatment centered around arts and crafts, music, and other recreational activities.
