Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center Overview
The official GDC location page lists Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center as an RSAT Center at 235 State Hospital Road in Bainbridge with primary phone 229-248-2463. The 2025 PREA audit uses the name Bainbridge Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Facility. The GDC program source describes the Probation Substance Use Treatment Center as a nine-month residential substance-abuse program for probationers who are court-mandated and have a history of substance abuse. Bainbridge is listed as a male program site.
This facility should be kept separate from Decatur County Jail and Decatur County Correctional Institution. A recent local arrest may begin at the Spring Creek Road jail, but a person in GDC-supervised residential treatment should be searched through GDC rather than the sheriff's Southern Software roster. DCCI is also a state-inmate setting, but it is a county correctional institution under contract; Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center is a GDC-operated treatment center.
The matching manifest image comes from the GDC facility page at gdc.georgia.gov/locations/bainbridge-substance-abuse-center.
That source establishes the public facility identity, while the 2025 PREA audit adds the resident count, capacity, contacts, security level, staffing, and victim-service details used below.
Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center Capacity and Population
The 2025 Bainbridge RSAT PREA audit lists a designed capacity of 384, a current population of 368, and a 12-month average daily population of 384. It states the facility was not over capacity during the prior 12 months. The population designation is adult male, age 18 and up, with medium custody and no youthful inmates. The same audit lists 84 staff with resident contact, 27 contractors, 4 volunteers, and 10 buildings.
These are treatment-center figures, not Decatur County Jail figures. The jail's rated capacity and current population were not published in the reviewed local sheriff sources. Keeping the numbers separate prevents a visitor from treating the State Hospital Road treatment center as the Spring Creek Road county jail.
How to Look Up a Resident at Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center
Use the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender page for Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center. GDC-supervised residents and sentenced state prisoners are not searched through the Decatur County Jail roster unless they are currently held at the jail. Georgia's public service description says the offender search can use name, ID or case number, age, and other identifying information, while county jail inmates should be searched through the county.
- Open GDC Find an Offender and follow the official GDC offender query path.
- Search by full name, GDC ID, case number, age, or other identifiers when known.
- Check the listed facility or program placement to distinguish GDC treatment custody from county jail custody.
- Verify important details with GDC or Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center before planning contact, money, mail, or a visit.
The GDC Find an Offender page is also represented by the manifest image from gdc.georgia.gov/offender-info/find-offender.
GDC disclaims warranty as to accuracy and completeness and says important information should be verified through official correctional records channels. That caution is especially relevant when a person moved from local arrest, to court, to probation, to GDC residential treatment.
Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center Address and Contact
The GDC location page gives the public location and primary phone. The 2025 PREA audit gives additional contact detail, including the facility mailing address used in the audit, primary contact, superintendent, PREA compliance manager, and health-service administrator. Use the public facility phone first for general routing unless a specific audit contact is needed for the issue.

Visiting Someone at Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center
The research did not locate a Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center visitor schedule in the GDC location page or 2025 PREA audit. Use GDC statewide friends-and-family visitation guidance, then confirm any facility-specific approval, schedule, identification rule, dress standard, and treatment-program restriction with Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center. The 2025 PREA audit confirms medium-security adult male residents and outside advocacy access, but it is not a visitor-schedule source.

Admission and Treatment Placement
Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center is not an arrest booking desk. GDC's program information describes probation substance-use treatment as a nine-month residential program for court-mandated probationers with a history of substance abuse. The broader RSAT program targets high-risk and high-need offenders and uses a modified therapeutic community model. A person may enter the Decatur County Jail after arrest, but if the court or corrections process later places that person into GDC residential treatment, the correct lookup channel becomes GDC rather than the county booking search.
The facility's adult male treatment identity also affects contact expectations. A family member looking for a new booking, bond, or current county charge should call the jail. A family member trying to confirm a resident in GDC treatment should use GDC Find an Offender and the Bainbridge facility phone. A victim seeking notification should use VINELink when available and any prosecution or GDC victim-services channel that applies to the case.
About Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center
The 2025 PREA audit reports that Bainbridge RSAT met 45 standards and had 0 standards not met. It identifies Lily Pad SANE Center as a local outside victim-service partner, with a 24-hour crisis hotline at 229-435-0074 and confidential mail at PO Box 70938, Albany, GA 31708. The audit says Lily Pad can provide emotional support related to sexual victimization, forensic-exam accompaniment, crisis-line services, written correspondence, and follow-up services. It also says residents are given mailing addresses and phone numbers for outside victim advocates and are allowed reasonable communication.
The same audit lists the PREA compliance manager as Lachanda Mackey and the health-service administrator as Brittni Linton, RN. Those details are part of the facility's compliance and resident-service record, but they do not replace ordinary custody lookup. Use GDC Find an Offender for search, the facility phone for current contact rules, and official victim or PREA channels for safety-related reporting.
No federal Bureau of Prisons facility or ICE detention center was located in Decatur County official source checks. BOP and ICE locators remain fallback channels only when the custody facts point to federal sentence or immigration detention. They are not the right first search for Bainbridge Substance Abuse Center residents.
Note: Confirm resident status, contact rules, and visit eligibility with GDC or the treatment center before making plans.
