About

About Saint Simons by the Sea

Saint Simons By-The-Sea is a 101-bed acute behavioral health hospital located on scenic Saint Simons Island in the Golden Isles of South Georgia. Operating since 1982, the Joint Commission-accredited hospital provides inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance use disorder treatment to patients from Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas. Its island setting offers a measure of privacy and anonymity that helps patients focus on stabilization and recovery.

Clinical services span the acute end of the continuum. Inpatient detox manages medically supervised withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and other substances. Acute inpatient rehab and crisis stabilization beds support patients in psychiatric or substance-use crisis, including involuntary holds where clinically indicated. Step-down care is delivered through intensive outpatient and outpatient programming so patients can transition back to daily life with continued therapeutic support.

Saint Simons By-The-Sea is organized into specialty tracks rather than a single mixed unit. Adults receive care through dedicated mental health, substance use, and IOP services. Adolescents have their own inpatient mental health and chemical dependency programs. The Harmony Women’s Program provides gender-specific care, including support for pregnant women, while the Military Program is tailored to active-duty service members, veterans, and military families. TRICARE is accepted alongside Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay.

Behavioral health conditions treated include alcoholism, drug addiction, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine use disorders, bipolar disorder, teen depression, and the lasting effects of physical and sexual abuse. With a clinical model anchored in cognitive behavioral therapy and individual, group, and family work, Saint Simons By-The-Sea offers a comprehensive acute-care option for patients who need 24/7 supervision before stepping down into community-based recovery.
