Lookout Mountain Community Services

My niece is a patient here, she has mental disabilities and is not able to make the right choices for herself. She lives with her mother who just takes her check and will not try to get help for her. I called to give some information to this facility and see if they could do something to help her and was told that they couldn't discuss my niece's case with me without her permission, I didn't need information from them I was trying to give them information about their patient. She is in jail and that is not where she needs to be; she needs help. But they don't care, I guess it's a joke to them. I was told that they would take it under advisement, I don't believe that. There are people with mental disabilities out here that need help. Georgia has a long standing reputation for neglecting and abusing their citizens with mental disabilities. more

Good luck trying to get an appointment at Lookout Mountain Community Services. more

This place is near and dear to my heart because years ago when I needed help they were there & provided a diagnosis when other Dr's were baffled. It's a care center that houses many counselors & a few Psychiatrists. Generally the practice is that you get in to see a counselor & explain the problems you're experiencing. She in turn gets you an appointment with the Dr. (Psychiatrist). When he sees you, he can prescribe medicine for your needs. You continue to see the counselor & psychiatrist as needed. This place also provides great indigent care. If you have a limited income, they work on a sliding fee scale, meaning that what costs one person $100, might cost you only $5. They also cannot refuse you treatment based on your ability to pay. They have several programs in place to provide your medicine to you at low or no cost, dependent on income. They take care of all the paperwork & call you when your medicine is delivered to the office & ready for pick-up. As far as quality of care, I can recommend all of the counselors & Dr's here. They are great. more
