PeaceWay Counseling and Mediation Services Inc

PeaceWay Counseling provides two distinct levels of outpatient care designed to meet varying recovery needs. The standard outpatient program offers flexibility for individuals balancing work, family, or educational commitments while receiving consistent addiction treatment support. This level of care works well for those transitioning from residential treatment or requiring ongoing aftercare services.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) delivers more structured support for individuals needing additional accountability during early recovery or those managing complex substance abuse issues. Both programs incorporate individual, family, and group therapy components, allowing clients to build strong recovery community connections while addressing personal treatment goals. The outpatient format enables clients to practice newly learned coping skills in real-world settings while maintaining regular therapeutic support.

Veterans receive targeted support at PeaceWay through TRICARE coverage and trauma-informed care addressing military-related stress and post-traumatic stress conditions. The facility recognizes the unique challenges veterans face in recovery and provides appropriate therapeutic interventions for this population. Young adults aged 18-25 also receive specialized attention, addressing the particular pressures and developmental needs of this age group.

Court-ordered clients find comprehensive services meeting legal requirements while focusing on genuine recovery outcomes. PeaceWay serves both men and women across age ranges from adolescents to seniors, ensuring age-appropriate treatment approaches. The center's experience with co-occurring disorders makes it suitable for individuals managing both substance abuse and mental health conditions simultaneously.

Individual therapy forms the foundation of treatment at PeaceWay, allowing clients to work one-on-one with counselors on personal recovery goals and underlying issues contributing to substance abuse. Family therapy sessions address relationship dynamics, communication patterns, and family healing processes essential for long-term recovery success. Group therapy provides peer support and shared learning experiences within the recovery community.

The center addresses multiple conditions beyond substance abuse, including depression, anxiety, anger management, stress, and grief and loss. This comprehensive approach recognizes that addiction treatment must address underlying mental health concerns to achieve lasting recovery. PeaceWay's dual diagnosis capabilities ensure clients receive integrated care for co-occurring disorders rather than treating addiction and mental health issues separately.

PeaceWay accepts multiple insurance options including Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and TRICARE, making addiction treatment accessible to diverse populations. The facility also works with Magellan and Wellcare plans, plus offers self-pay options for those preferring private arrangements. Joint Commission and CARF accreditations provide assurance of quality care standards and professional treatment protocols.

Operating Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 6 PM, plus Saturday morning hours from 9 AM to 12 PM, PeaceWay accommodates working individuals and families seeking addiction treatment. The Valdosta location on Bemiss Road provides convenient access for residents throughout Lowndes County. This scheduling flexibility supports the recovery community by removing barriers to consistent treatment participation.
