Leo A Daly<\/a>\u2019s (Atlanta) design focuses on providing veterans with a sense of dignity, personal choice, and safety throughout their recovery journey.<\/p>\nThe clinic is organized around integrating cross-disciplinary services, with key adjacencies easing the transition between inpatient and outpatient programs. The noninstitutional environment is enhanced by placing security at the building\u2019s center, instead of at entrances, with visibility to major clinical areas.<\/p>\n
The building organizes two first-floor inpatient wings around a central support core. The transitional housing program occupies the west wing, where a private entrance maintains the veterans\u2019 dignity and confidentiality.<\/p>\n
Psychosocial rehab and recovery are located on the east side to provide access to exterior spaces. Care for veterans with substance use disorders is in the center, where dual-diagnosis patients have access to services in the wings, in addition to computer education, multipurpose, and other teaching rooms.<\/p>\n
The second floor co-locates outpatient mental health, PTSD, suicide prevention and psychology functions, with interdisciplinary teams providing whole-person care.<\/p>\n
Interior finishes that reflect nature such as wood or biophilic patterns, abundant daylight, and programmatic connections to the exterior provide calming interactions with nature. Communal spaces emphasize the regrowth of social skills.<\/p>\n
