The residential program at Willingway can last up to 6 weeks. Inpatient treatment offers individuals the best opportunity to learn new techniques for living without mood-altering medications. During their stay, clients have the opportunity to engage in a variety of therapies like individual counseling, family counseling, 12-Step facilitation, group therapy, and relapse prevention. Clients who choose extended services are housed in gender-specific residences located throughout Statesboro, Georgia. The homes provide a supportive, structured environment where individuals can build skills for living sober one day at a time. The family program is designed to integrate the clients’ families into the recovery process and allow them the opportunity to begin to heal. Willingway also provides aftercare services. After residential treatment, clients can partake in weekly support groups located in 13 towns throughout the southeast. All clients receive support and encouragement from people who have travelled the road to recovery before them or who have experience, strength, and hope to share with others.

Clients can fish in their duck pond, which is stocked. The wooded lake is a wonderful location for peaceful walks. The facility has private rooms as well as large shared areas. Clients can also take advantage of the on-site pool and modern gym.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Willingway offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 8 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Willingway works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
