About

About Saint Illa Center

Saint Illa Center operates from 3455 Harris Road in Waycross, Georgia, serving Ware County and the surrounding region in south Georgia. As part of Unison Behavioral Health – a non-profit community provider serving Bacon, Coffee, Ware, Pierce and adjacent counties – Saint Illa is the dedicated residential and detox arm of a broader behavioral health system that also offers adult behavioral health, child and family services, developmental disability programs, and community training.

The facility delivers medical detox followed by residential rehabilitation in a single, integrated continuum. Adults entering Saint Illa receive medically supervised stabilization for withdrawal, then transition to longer-term residential treatment that focuses on group and individual therapy, relapse prevention, and recovery skill-building. Co-occurring mental health concerns are addressed in conjunction with substance use care.

Clinical work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Unison’s mission emphasizes creating health and wellness through quality services for mental health, substance use and developmental disabilities. The organization’s regional reach across multiple south Georgia counties means clients can transition from Saint Illa’s residential program to community-based outpatient and recovery support at Unison clinics closer to home.

Payment is structured to keep services accessible: Medicaid, Medicare, sliding-scale, state insurance and self-pay are accepted, with financial considerations explicitly addressed by Unison to reduce barriers to care. CARF accreditation supports the program’s commitment to evidence-based standards. Saint Illa also operates as a regional resource for clients who are deaf or hard of hearing, serving both men and women.
