The demand for accessible, high-quality behavioral health treatment continues to grow across the United States, and leading providers are rising to meet the challenge. Pyramid Family Behavioral Healthcare, a division of Pyramid Healthcare, has officially opened a new treatment center in Sandy Springs, Georgia, expanding its footprint in the state and strengthening its commitment to providing evidence-based behavioral health services.
This new facility in the Atlanta suburb represents Pyramid’s second Georgia location, complementing its existing program in Johns Creek. With this expansion, Pyramid Healthcare is not only enhancing its ability to serve communities in metro Atlanta, but also furthering its mission of delivering compassionate, personalized care for both adults and adolescents navigating behavioral health challenges.
Meeting the Need for Comprehensive Behavioral Health Care
Behavioral health concerns, including mental health disorders and substance use issues, remain top public health priorities nationwide. Communities across Georgia are experiencing an increased demand for treatment options that bridge the gap between traditional outpatient therapy and inpatient hospitalization. Pyramid’s Sandy Springs facility is designed to address this need through intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP).
These levels of care provide structured support for individuals who need more than weekly counseling sessions but do not require the round-the-clock supervision of residential treatment. By offering flexible and comprehensive programming, Pyramid Family Behavioral Healthcare is ensuring that patients receive the right level of care at the right time, reducing barriers to treatment access.
Services Tailored to Adults and Adolescents
One of the most significant features of the new Sandy Springs location is its focus on serving both adults and adolescents. Mental health and behavioral health needs are not confined to one age group, and early intervention can make all the difference in long-term outcomes. Adolescents, in particular, face growing challenges related to anxiety, depression, social pressures, and substance use.
By tailoring treatment programs to meet the unique developmental and emotional needs of younger patients, Pyramid Healthcare is empowering families to access appropriate care close to home. At the same time, adults experiencing behavioral health conditions can find structured, compassionate support to help them regain stability and pursue long-term recovery.
Pyramid Healthcare’s National Presence
The Sandy Springs center is just one part of Pyramid Healthcare’s growing network of facilities. With locations throughout New Jersey, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Pyramid has established itself as a trusted provider of behavioral health and addiction treatment. Its expansion into Georgia underscores the organization’s vision of making treatment accessible in more communities across the country.
The parent company’s reputation for evidence-based care and individualized treatment plans ensures that patients in Sandy Springs will benefit from the same quality of services that have made Pyramid Healthcare a leader in the behavioral health field.
A Growing Movement in Behavioral Health Access
Pyramid’s expansion comes at a time when other providers across the nation are also opening new facilities to meet rising behavioral health needs. The demand for mental health and addiction treatment services has never been higher, and health organizations are investing in new clinics, hospitals, and programs to respond.
Cortica Expands in California
Cortica, a San Diego-based provider specializing in advanced neurological therapies for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), recently opened a new center in Westlake Village, California. This marks the organization’s sixth location, offering services in-person, in-home, and via telehealth. Cortica’s growth highlights the importance of expanding specialized treatment for children with developmental and neurological conditions.
Oceans Healthcare Opens in Waco, Texas
Plano-based Oceans Healthcare also recently launched a new facility in Waco, Texas. The 32,700-square-foot location offers inpatient care for adults 50 and older, as well as intensive outpatient treatment for individuals 18 and older. With seven facilities now operating in Texas and additional locations across Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, Oceans continues to strengthen access to behavioral health services across the South.
Eating By Faith Grows in Ohio
In Ohio, Eating By Faith, a Cincinnati-based provider focused on eating disorder recovery, has opened a new clinic in Terrace Park. The clinic offers both individual and group counseling, along with recreational activities to encourage healthy habits. This expansion adds vital resources for individuals and families seeking specialized eating disorder treatment.
Women-Only Clinic in Colorado
In Colorado, HealthONE Behavioral Health and Wellness Center has made headlines by opening a first-of-its-kind, women-only mental health clinic in Aurora. Staffed entirely by women, the clinic serves patients 18 and older, providing inpatient and outpatient care for conditions like anxiety, PTSD, postpartum depression, and trauma. With 20 inpatient beds and walk-in availability, the facility is positioned as a safe, supportive environment for women seeking behavioral health care.
Learning Center for ASD Youth in Illinois
Masons Place Too, located in Fairview Heights, Illinois, recently opened a day learning center for children with ASD. The center provides therapy, social skills classes, and educational programming for children ages 3 to 18, filling an essential need for families seeking both academic and therapeutic support.
What’s Coming Soon in Behavioral Health Expansion
Beyond newly opened centers, several organizations are preparing to launch significant projects aimed at expanding behavioral health access:
- Burrell Behavioral Health in Missouri is partnering with Greene County officials to build a 24/7 crisis center in Springfield. Funded by a combination of state and private contributions, the center will provide immediate care for individuals in behavioral health crisis.
- Compass Health in Washington has broken ground on a five-story, 47,000-square-foot campus in Everett. The facility will combine behavioral health services, medical care, and residential units for individuals with chronic behavioral health conditions. Its phased construction will bring critical integrated services to the region.
Why These Expansions Matter
The opening of Pyramid Healthcare’s second Georgia location, alongside similar expansions across the country, reflects an urgent recognition of the need for behavioral health services. For decades, mental health and addiction treatment have been underfunded and stigmatized. Now, as the demand for services grows, organizations are investing in infrastructure and innovation to better serve patients.
Facilities like Pyramid’s Sandy Springs center play a crucial role in bridging service gaps, reducing stigma, and offering individuals and families hope. With a focus on outpatient and partial hospitalization programming, Pyramid is providing practical, accessible solutions for people who need structured care without the disruption of residential treatment.
Looking Ahead
As Pyramid Healthcare continues to expand its presence in Georgia and beyond, its mission remains clear: to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers individuals and families to overcome behavioral health challenges. The new Sandy Springs facility is a testament to that commitment, offering a supportive environment where healing and recovery are possible.
Meanwhile, the broader wave of behavioral health expansion — from autism care in California to crisis intervention in Missouri — signals progress toward a future where more individuals can access the care they need, when and where they need it most.
With each new facility that opens, the behavioral health system grows stronger, more inclusive, and more responsive to the diverse needs of communities across the nation.
