Mental Health Outpatient Services

River Edge offers a variety of evidence-based outpatient supports for those seeking recovery from mental illness.

Counseling and Support
River Edge offers individual and family counseling services for children, youth, and adults.

Groups
River Edge offers a host of targeted, evidence-based groups to assist recovery. Adult groups include diagnosis specific groups, co-occurring illness groups, trauma recovery, grief recovery, anger management, and family violence intervention. Groups are also available for youth and their families related to recovery and appropriate development.

Child and Youth Support
River Edge Behavioral Health offers evidence-based, youth-driven, family-focused services for children, and adolescents ages 5 to 18. There are some exceptions to this age range if the adolescent is actively enrolled in an appropriate educational institution. Outpatient services include medication management, behavioral health assessments, therapeutic services (individual, family, and group), crisis intervention, and psychiatric stabilization. Our Child and Adolescent school-based mental health program called APEX is funded by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and provides services within the school setting in the following counties: Bibb, Baldwin, Jones, Monroe, Twiggs, and Putnam. Additionally,  InTUNE (Integrated Treatment Understanding Needs & Emotions) is a specialty program designed for young adults between the ages of 16 to 30 who are experiencing and/or who have experienced symptoms of psychosis for the first time within the past 24 months.

Medical Management
Medical Management provides biopsychosocial, psychiatric, nursing, and laboratory assessment as well as case management and medication prescription or administration.

Pharmacy Services
River Edge houses its own pharmacy and is the only Central Georgia provider to offer internal blister packaging of medications.
