About

About RiverWoods Behavioral Health System

Riverwoods Behavioral Health System operates a psychiatric hospital at 223 Medical Center Drive in Riverdale, Georgia, just south of Atlanta. The facility positions itself as a south Atlanta leader in mental health and addiction care, offering 24/7 access with walk-ins welcome and no referral required for admissions screening. Care begins with inpatient stabilization for psychiatric crises and steps clients down through partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming as their needs change.

The hospital operates distinct tracks built around the populations it serves. The Adult Program treats common life stressors compounded by psychiatric illness, while the Senior Program provides short-term crisis stabilization typically lasting about ten days for patients 65 and older. Adolescents are treated in dedicated inpatient and intensive outpatient tracks. A Women’s Trauma Program addresses trauma-driven presentations specifically, and Veterans Affairs programming is offered for service members navigating mental health and addiction challenges.

Clinically, Riverwoods treats a wide diagnostic range. Mental health conditions addressed include ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. On the addiction side, the hospital treats alcohol, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, opioid, and barbiturate use, along with co-occurring mental health disorders. A dedicated Detox Program is offered for patients entering with active withdrawal needs.

Riverwoods is accredited by the Joint Commission. The hospital describes its clinical philosophy around personalized treatment planning and a familial, lower-volume environment compared to traditional psychiatric units, with admissions teams available around the clock to coordinate intake, transportation, and aftercare planning following discharge.
