It would depend on where in Alabama/Georgia you live. I am originally from South AL...in south Alabama, there is one state hospital (Searcy), and Mobile Infirmary has the only inpatient unit. You can search the Alabama Dept. of Mental Health/Mental Retardation website for information on the state hospitals. Good luck!
