A private patio provides options for clinicians to take groups or one-on-one therapy sessions outside.

Socializing is encouraged in spaces such as the modern-looking Associates Café, a gathering place for families, visitors and clients.
Reminiscent of a college student lounge, a media and game room on each residential level encourages socialization and provides common space for clients to form peer bounds.
The facility includes 32 private bedrooms with private bathrooms.
Because family involvement can be a crucial component of someone’s recovery, the open, comfortable space invites families to visit with loved ones and offer support as they enjoy the warmth from the stacked stone fireplace and light from floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Atlanta skyline.
Three group rooms and one large classroom provide space for a variety of therapeutic groups including skill building, psychoeducation, process and support groups.
Staff at the reception desk welcome our visitors and day treatment clients to campus each morning and help our young adult clients navigate schedules and appointments, and a modern café area offers a gathering place for families, visitors and clients.
The lounge and adjoining outdoor patio is a communal area where clients can regroup after therapeutic sessions, read or complete homework assignments, and prepare for what’s next. A nursing station and pharmacy on each residential floor ensures client safety and support.
A stainless steel sculptural archway welcomes clients and visitors to the Rollins Campus. Artist Andrew T. Crawford designed and fabricated the arch specifically for the Rollins Campus at Skyland Trail. Featuring hummingbirds, a flowering vine, and garden snail, the whimsical structure inspires hope and connects with themes that clients encounter in hands-on horticultural therapy groups: recovery is not a straight line but an ongoing process of growth that spirals slowly outward.
An outdoor courtyard welcomes young adult clients with unique spaces for exercise, reflection, or social gathering and helps them feel like they are part of a college campus.
