Coastal Harbor Treatment Center

Coastal Harbor Treatment Center structures its addiction treatment and behavioral health services across three levels of care: inpatient, residential, and outpatient. This continuum matters for recovery-minded individuals who understand that long-term sobriety often involves moving through different levels of support over time — not simply completing a single program and walking away.

The outpatient program, including an intensive outpatient option, is available both on the Savannah campus and remotely through telehealth. For people returning to work, reconnecting with family, or living outside of Savannah, the virtual IOP option offers a way to maintain clinical support without requiring a full residential commitment. Inpatient and residential tracks provide more intensive structure for those who need it at the outset of their recovery.

Coastal Harbor Treatment Center addresses substance use alongside mental health and psychiatric disorders — an approach that reflects the clinical reality that these conditions frequently occur together. Treatment is delivered by a multidisciplinary clinical team, meaning that individuals receive coordinated care from professionals with expertise across behavioral health disciplines rather than a single-track clinical model.

Located at 1150 Cornell Ave in Savannah's Chatham County, the center is part of the broader Coastal Harbor Health System, which operates two facilities in the area. For individuals and families in the Savannah region, this means access to a connected system of behavioral health resources rather than a standalone program with no path forward after discharge.

One practical barrier to entering addiction treatment or a residential recovery program is navigating insurance. Coastal Harbor Treatment Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid (through Wellcare and Amerigroup), TRICARE, and private insurance plans. For active duty military personnel and veterans, TRICARE coverage is accepted directly — removing one of the more common obstacles military families face when seeking behavioral health care.

The facility is approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and holds accreditation from The Joint Commission, which many insurance providers use as a benchmark when authorizing coverage. Prospective patients or their families can reach the center by phone at (912) 354-3911 to discuss coverage and program availability.

Few addiction treatment and behavioral health centers in Georgia serve as wide a population range as Coastal Harbor. Programs are available for children, adolescents, adults, active duty military, and veterans — each group with distinct clinical and personal needs that a generalist program may not be equipped to address. The inclusion of pediatric and adolescent programming alongside adult and military tracks reflects the center's role as a full-spectrum behavioral health resource.

For families supporting a loved one through recovery — whether a teenager struggling with substance use or a veteran managing the intersection of service-related stress and addiction — Coastal Harbor's breadth of programming means that multiple family members could, in principle, access care within the same system. The center is licensed by the State of Georgia Office of Regulatory Services and holds membership in NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals.
