Devereux Georgia is a behavioral healthcare provider located just north of Atlanta in a beautiful therapeutic setting. We offer the unique ability to treat difficult to manage behaviors and/or emotional issues for children, adolescents and young adults. By offering integrated rehabilitative and psychiatric care, Devereux is able to stabilize and treat psychiatric challenges, help the family cope with their child’s illness and address severe behavior management challenges.
Devereux provides an excellent continuity of care as well as a broad range of services within a pediatric and adolescent setting. We are guided by sensitivity to the developmental needs of young people and we understand the complex nature of caring for them. Devereux’s living units and treatment programs offer clients opportunities to enjoy positive peer support and to interact with others facing similar physical, emotional and social challenges.

The 2010 Annual Fund Campaign is our opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children.
We have all become very familiar with the phrase “budget cuts”. If you have listened to the Clark Howard Show, you have heard me stress the importance of spending wisely. Investing in the youth at Devereux is a wise decision.
