Applicant says Johns Creek recovery center would serve voluntarily admitted adults for about three weeks
Summary
The applicant told the public the proposed recovery center would serve voluntarily admitted adults (average age mid-30s), no minors would be admitted, average stay 22–24 days, and business hours would be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
At the zoning public participation meeting, Emory’s representative described how the proposed residential wellness and recovery center would operate if approved. "The residents of the center are voluntarily admitted, have an average length of stay of 22 to 24 days," said Chuck Palmer, attorney for the applicant.
Palmer said the facility would serve both male and female adults, with an average resident age of 35 to 38, and that the operator would coordinate discharges with family or a designated support person. He added that "normal business hours are from 8AM to 5PM" and emphasized that no minors would be admitted.
Those operational details were presented as part of the applicant’s pitch that the facility is clinically oriented and managed by an experienced operator with other facilities in the region. The applicant did not provide bed counts, total resident capacity or staffing numbers during the presentation.
