Our Depression and Mental Health Treatment Program at Ingrained
Depression does not discriminate – it affects men, women, teenagers, and people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. It’s a cycle of dragging yourself out of bed every morning, exhausted from the racing thoughts that kept you up the night before, and going on about your day, living as a shell of your old self.
Depression saps your energy – even something like brushing your teeth or answering an email feels like a mountain that must be climbed. But, you don’t have to accept this as your reality forever.
People looking for depression treatment centers in Georgia come to Ingrained Recovery at some of their lowest points in life. Here, you’ll find compassion, understanding, and a true path to wellness. You can break free – let us show you how.
Understanding Major Depressive Disorder
People who have never dealt with depression might tell you to “shake it off” or “just snap out of it” – but major depression is more than being said. It affects your ability to live your daily life. You live life in a fog, detached from reality. Depression affects your ability to sleep, eat, and interact with the world around you. The only solution is proper mental health treatment at Ingrained Recovery – otherwise, you’ll keep living in this same cycle.

What Do Inpatient Depression Treatment Programs Look Like?
The decision to seek residential treatment for depression usually comes once you’ve had enough of carrying the heavy weight around with you. Not all residential treatment centers offer the same standard of care, but at Ingrained Recovery, you’ll receive personalized support that can help you break free of your depression symptoms and start leading a happier life.
Healing from persistent depressive disorder comes from building self-care habits, identifying and working through your problems, and learning coping skills that benefit you when you need them most. Sometimes, medication is recommended to handle intense clinical depression symptoms, provide sleep support, and balance energy levels. Your specific plan depends on what you need to heal – reach out to Ingrained Recovery to start building your personalized plan today.

Evidence-Based Therapies for Depression
People have different risk factors and triggers for depression. When you use a cookie-cutter approach that ignores your client’s needs, as some mental health facilities do, there’s a lower chance of long-term recovery. The skills you learn aren’t really sustainable then and they don’t apply to your life.
At Ingrained Recovery, we use a combination of therapies for depression treatment. By customizing your program to your needs, you get exactly the support you need to heal.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) benefits people struggling with negative thinking. This helps when treating depression because this mental health condition makes the world look bleak. Even things that you enjoy doing don’t bring the happiness you’re looking for.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
During dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), you’ll gain better control over emotions that influence depressive symptoms. Things like distress tolerance and mindfulness are especially helpful for people with depression who have high-stress lifestyles, as well as people struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Problem-Solving Therapy
We all have stressors in our day-to-day lives, whether at work, in our relationships, or at home. This therapeutic approach teaches you how to identify those things that trigger depression and solve the associated problems. By looking at problems as something you can solve, you can overcome feelings of helplessness in certain situations.
Behavioral Activation
This type of therapy is recommended if you struggle to find motivation to do what you enjoy. You’ll rely on external reinforcement from your environment and recreational activities.
Interpersonal Therapy
People who struggle with severe depression often withdraw from family and friends. With these strained relationships comes a lack of support. It isn’t that these people don’t love you, but sometimes, you push them so far away that they may not realize you are struggling.
During interpersonal therapy, you’ll work on skills that improve personal and social relationships.
Family therapy can also benefit your relationships. It teaches your loved ones about how they can support you as you work to overcome depression.
Medication Management
Medication does have a role in treating depression symptoms, especially when they are severe. We look at medication as a form of support. When the symptoms of major depressive disorder and other mental health disorders are being treated, you’ll be able to focus on learning the skills that will help you fight depression long-term.
Group Therapy
One of the major symptoms of depression is feeling isolated. You lose your sense of community and no longer feel like you have an important role in the world around you. During group therapy, you can form community connections. It also offers a safe environment to share your struggles, triggers, and what you are going through, while receiving feedback from people who truly understand the way that negative thoughts and patterns affect your ability to be happy.
Structure and Habit Building
Experiencing a depressed mood has a way of pushing all your usual habits to the side. You might feel that something like washing your face takes too much energy or that getting up to let the dog outside is overwhelming.
When you seek depression treatment at Ingrained Recovery, things like self-care and routine are a big part of what we do here. As you build healthy habits with guidance, they slowly become easier to maintain. By sticking to these habits after inpatient treatment for depression, you’ll be better prepared to do them when you return home, too. And, being unable to do these habits can be an indicator that you are struggling again and need to seek help.
Recreational Therapies
Experiential activities like art therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness practices are a major part of our treatment modalities. Our big, beautiful campus is also perfect for outdoor recreational activities and meditation.
It isn’t always easy to do the things that make you happy when you feel stifled by the symptoms of depression. When you do make the effort, however, these types of activities can improve mood and provide a healthy emotional outlet.
Ongoing Support After Inpatient Treatment
Continued care, whether going to an intensive outpatient program or following up with traditional outpatient services at home, is an important part of supporting your recovery in the long term. We make it easy for our clients to follow up with services like psychiatry, therapy, and case management, and can make referrals as needed to help you get follow-up treatment sooner.
When is a Residential Program the Best Option?
Depression can be debilitating to the point it disrupts day-to-day life. Residential treatment for depression is a good choice for people whose depression is suffocation. It also works well if you have co-occurring mental health disorders, substance abuse problems, or are so depressed that you’ve considered taking your own life.
Dual Diagnosis for Clients Who Need It
Some clients deal with co-occurring disorders in addition to depression, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, or other problems. You also may be struggling with co-occurring substance use disorder, especially if you’ve been turning to drugs or alcohol to try and boost your mood or reduce symptoms of depression.
After being admitted, you’ll go through a thorough evaluation to identify these underlying issues. This information helps us form a personalized treatment plan to help manage depression. We treat the whole person and look beyond the depressive symptoms that might sit on the surface. Through total healing, you’ll be able to embrace what your future holds and start feeling inspired in life.
Considering an Intensive Outpatient or Partial Hospitalization Program
Some depression treatment programs are also available outpatient. During a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP), you’ll receive many elements of evidence-based care, while sleeping at home.
Are Mental and Behavioral Health Programs Covered by Insurance?
With the rising mental health issues in the United States, it’s never been more clear that mental health matters. By law, your insurance company is required to provide some coverage for mental and behavioral health problems, including depression. Reach out to Ingrained Recovery to find out if you’re covered.
