Set in the serene countryside, northwest of Atlanta, Kingston Wellness Retreat is a spot where clients can find healing for various mental health disorders through evidence-based talk therapy, peaceful activities like a spa and sauna, outdoor exploration space, red light healing, monitored medication management, and 24/7 support.
Kingston treats a variety of mental health and co-occurring conditions, but their campus and team are particularly skilled at treating trauma and PTSD. Their team can address acute PTSD, chronic PTSD, complex PTSD, and comorbid PTSD with specialized approaches and take the client's past experiences into consideration in finding treatment that works effectively. They tend to use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused
cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-
CBT).
As a retreat-oriented treatment center, Kingston specializes in
residential treatment over a 30-90 day span. Clients can enjoy comfortable amenities like their private theater, walking trails, and gazebo between individual and group therapy sessions. However, Kingston, also offers day (PHP), intensive
outpatient (
IOP), and outpatient therapy sessions. Kingston clients tend to take these outpatient care options after completing the residential program. The individual therapy component lasts about 45-60 minutes each week.
Something unusual about Kingston's program is that it supports multiple types of family therapy, including structural family therapy, systemic family therapy, strategic family therapy, cognitive-behavioral family therapy, and Bowenian family therapy. Their therapists can work with the family to identify the most effective approach to identify challenges in communication, develop stronger relationships, and create a supportive atmosphere for the client's long-term healing.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Kingston Wellness Retreat provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
