Although many individuals that apply for services at Hope House are court ordered to participate, our agency follows guidelines set forth by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities for services. All programs providing treatment for substance using women give priority for admission in the following order:
1. Pregnant, intravenous substance users.
2. Other pregnant substance users.
3. Other intravenous substance users.
4. All other substance users.
Court ordered individuals are not provided a priority level unless they indicate one of the above priority levels, as appropriate.
Our services are provided through contracts, grants, and local donations. While our facility consistently maintains a waiting list for services, Hope House will work with you or your loved one to identify appropriate alternative treatment options, as well as provide interim services. With the above identified priority levels, an estimated wait time cannot be provided to you or your loved one.
In the meantime, you will receive a weekly call from our intake team or a certified peer on staff to provide an update on your admission's status and complete a recovery check in. If you do not hear from us, please ensure we have your correct contact information.
