Behavioral Health Treatment Clinic

Comprehensive Mental Health Care - Children, Adolescents and Adults

DBHDD

The Behavioral Health Program (BHP)

The Behavioral Health Program (BHP) is an evolving and growing program fused with wrap-around services that is licensed and accredited in the state of Georgia. Accredited by CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) and licensed by DATP (Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program), Someone Cares Inc. provides an outpatient multidisciplinary team approach through grants in providing mental health and drug addiction services to the poor, homeless and LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community, specializing in Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) and Transgender communities, by trained licensed professionals. The program is not exclusive to the populations mentioned, rather an all-inclusive program to insured and cash-paying clients as well.

Many of our clients typically deal with trauma suffered at the hands of abuse and/or violence during their childhood and as adults, causing isolation from the general public as they continue their attempt to survive within the perils of their life’s struggles alone. Frequently, our consumers need emergency/ psychiatric hospital admissions. It is normal for our population to struggle with issues related to criminal arrests, homelessness, drug addiction, and untreated medical conditions, which lead to premature deaths. Although many in the communities listed above are bright, creative, and talented individuals, many are faced with struggling with major drug addiction, mental illnesses, or dual diagnoses.
 
Statistically, our clients who are challenged with drug addiction and mental health issues do not respond well to the traditional office-based mental health programs available. The BHP uses culturally competent treatment providers who employ modified cognitive behavioral therapy in conjunction with person-centered techniques in attempting to help our clients cope with daily stressors and work on resolving their issues. The BHP is a program that has been established to help this high-risk demographic lower their risk of exposure to hazardous, irresponsible sexual behaviors that often lead to high rates of HIV/STD infections. The program is designed to help its clients modify their behavior through prevention/intervention.
