Claratel Behavioral Health, formerly known as DeKalb Community Service Board, is a nonprofit organization in Atlanta, Georgia, providing comprehensive mental health, developmental disability, and substance use disorder services. With over 20 locations in DeKalb County, the organization serves individuals and families in need, focusing on accessible and high-quality care. Their team of more than 500 professionals, including physicians, nurses, and clinicians, is committed to helping clients lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Claratel offers a range of services, including outpatient treatment, detox programs, and residential care for substance use disorders. Their approach includes individual and group counseling, medication-assisted treatment, case management, and family therapy. They also provide a specialized residential program for men with opioid use disorders, including those with co-occurring mental health conditions, to support long-term recovery and reintegration into the community.
In March 2024, the organization rebranded as Claratel Behavioral Health to reflect its continued growth and commitment to serving the community. As part of this transformation, they are developing a $25 million crisis center to expand care for uninsured and underinsured residents in DeKalb County and the greater Atlanta area. Claratel accepts various insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, and offers a sliding fee scale for those without coverage.
With a strong focus on evidence-based treatment and accessible care, Claratel Behavioral Health continues to provide essential services to individuals facing behavioral health challenges, striving to create a community where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
