Mental health and addiction recovery by the sea, by your side
At Saint Simons By-The-Sea, we believe in helping people. After all, who does not need a little help now and then? We provide qualified in-patient treatment at our behavioral health facility in St Simons, GA. We are located right on the island, so our treatment center is in a naturally beautiful and calming environment — exactly what someone needs who is coming to us for mental health and addiction treatment.
For adults, we provide addiction treatment in our recovery center. This includes alcohol and/or drug use, which we see as life-threatening diseases, as well as mental illnesses. The program begins with detoxification to deal with the physical effects, as well as therapy with a 12-step approach.
Bring your children suffering from an addiction or mental health problems to us for intensive treatment. We offer 24-hour medical and psychiatric care in comfortable and secure setting. Our doctors encourage family participation to provide a support group for the adolescent after he or she leaves our facility.
The Return to Mission Wellness Treatment Program is designed to provide integrated mental health treatment services for active-duty service members or veterans dealing with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, aggravated by the stressful or adverse situations resulting from deployment and reintegration. Our mission for these service members is to equip them with the tools needed to maintain recovery from past trauma and addictions while moving forward as productive and healthy members of our nation’s Armed Forces. Our mental health program, likewise, supports family involvement as part of the recovery process to better allow service members a seamless transition back to military life.

My doctor worked with me and would not let me give up.
Saint Simons By-The-Sea was a potential lifesaver for me. Now it is up to me to follow my plan for recovery. I was having anxiety and started to check out early in treatment, but my doctor worked with me and would not let me give up. You have a great program and staff! Thank you!”
