About Skyland Trail North Transitional Living

Located in Atlanta, Georgia, Skyland Trail North Transitional Living is part of a nationally recognized nonprofit mental health treatment organization.

The North Transitional Living facility serves as a supportive living environment for clients participating in day treatment and the intensive outpatient program (IOP) through Skyland Trail. Skyland Trail North Transitional Living is conveniently located about 2 miles from the outpatient treatment facility, offering an easy commute to treatment.
Clients meet weekly with an independence coach, who helps ensure clients are taking medications, adjusting well, and assists with needs like transportation, time management, and finances. Clients may also enroll in the Life Enrichment Adult Program (LEAP), which includes support groups, art and music classes, fitness opportunities, socializing, and book clubs.

Clients also enjoy access to common areas, a larger community kitchen, gardens, and indoor and outdoor dining areas.
