Our campus provides a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment where clinicians have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact every day.

Coastal Harbor Treatment Center provides specialized behavioral healthcare for children and adolescents through two distinct levels of care: a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) and an acute inpatient unit.

Located in the heart of beautiful, historic Savannah, Georgia, our hospitals offer a peaceful, private setting that promotes healing and focus.
