The Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) broke ground on the state’s first crisis support and diagnostic center specifically designed to serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
Located in the heart of downtown Macon, the Crisis Stabilization Diagnostic Center (CSDC) will offer inpatient and outpatient healthcare services to support the independence and long-term success of Georgians with disabilities.
“Today is an important day in Georgia history,” said Tanner. “This project represents a significant milestone in our commitment to making sure individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have access to the right care at the right time and exemplifies our dedication to our mission to ensure that everyone, regardless of their abilities, receives the highest quality of care and attention they deserve.”
The center is expected to open 2025 and is the result of a partnership between DBHDD, Mercer University, and River Edge Behavioral Health. The Department aims to expand pathways to care for Georgians with disabilities and train Georgia’s future healthcare workforce to better serve those with disabilities.
