Unison Behavioral Health Garden Gate operates as a residential treatment facility in Waycross, Georgia, focusing on comprehensive addiction treatment and dual diagnosis care.

The residential setting allows for intensive therapeutic work while building the coping skills and support systems necessary for successful transition back to community living.

Specialized Populations and Recovery Community

This framework ensures that treatment addresses underlying trauma while building safety, trust, and collaboration throughout the recovery process.
