Oconee Regional Medical Center's Department of Behavioral Medicine serves individuals and families across Milledgeville, GA, and surrounding areas who are struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health conditions. Located at 821 North Cobb Street, this facility provides compassionate, evidence-based treatment designed to meet the unique needs of adults, including seniors and older adults. Whether you're seeking your first treatment experience or returning to care, Oconee Regional Medical Center combines medical expertise with behavioral health services to support sustainable recovery.
Oconee Regional Medical Center offers outpatient substance abuse treatment, allowing individuals to receive care while maintaining their daily responsibilities, living arrangements, and family connections. The facility specializes in treating patients with co-occurring disorders—meaning those who experience both mental health conditions and substance use disorders simultaneously—providing integrated care that addresses the full scope of each person's needs. The center also offers specialized programs for seniors and older adults, recognizing that addiction and mental health challenges affect this population differently and require tailored therapeutic approaches. By combining health services with substance abuse treatment under one roof, patients benefit from coordinated care that treats the whole person rather than symptoms in isolation.
Oconee Regional Medical Center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA and Tricare), and self-payment options, ensuring that financial circumstances do not prevent access to care. Many insurance plans are required under the Mental Health Parity Act to cover substance abuse and mental health treatment at the same level as other medical conditions, meaning your treatment may be fully or partially covered. If you're uninsured or underinsured, the facility works with patients on self-payment plans and can connect you with resources to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Recovery is possible, and you don't have to navigate the path alone.
