Our Services
Way Treatment Center was founded to deliver excellence in neuropsychiatric care for adults and older adults. Our Medical Director completed advanced fellowship training at Emory University, one of the nation’s leading programs in geriatric psychiatry.
Our mission is to optimize brain health through comprehensive, individualized care. We provide in-depth neuropsychiatric evaluations and develop personalized treatment plans that may include lifestyle optimization, nutritional strategies, and evidence-based psychopharmacologic management.
We treat a broad range of neuropsychiatric conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, attention and executive function disorders, addiction-related conditions, and cognitive disorders ranging from early memory concerns to advanced neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s disease. We partner closely with patients and families to improve brain health, preserve function, and enhance overall quality of life.

Our Founder
“Way Treatment Center was founded to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to care by addressing the medical, emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions of each individual.”

New Perspective
The new perspective is that your brain is aging and dying over your lifespan resulting in the loss of brain cells and density. Prevention and treatment are now focused on maintaining the health and longevity of the neurological system.
Emotional Restructuring Therapy (ERT)
ERT is a powerful, effective process designed to realign your neurological system, both thoughts and feelings, with the full experience of God’s peace, joy and love.

Frequently Asked Questions…
Medical doctors who bridge the gap between psychiatry and neurology are considered specialists in the field of neuropsychiatry. Neuropsychiatrists are trained to treat all psychiatric issues, including depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders and disorders of addiction.
Neuropsychiatrists have additional extensive training in neurological disorders, particularly cognitive disorders ranging from early memory loss to advanced dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
At the Way Treatment Center, our Medical Director, William A. Van Horn, MD, also treats chronic pain syndromes, neurodegenerative disorders, and neurotransmitter deficiency syndromes including chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.
One of the greatest misunderstandings of Alzheimer’s disease is the belief that nothing can be done to impact risk or progression. That perspective is not true. Understanding a new approach can empower you to take an active role in maintaining memory and brain health.
Alzheimer’s disease is not simply an illness that appears later in life. The brain slowly changes as part of the aging process. At peak brain density—typically in the third decade of life—you have approximately 100 billion brain cells and one trillion connections between them. From that point forward, brain cells are gradually lost over time.
Many factors influence brain health and the rate of brain cell loss. At the Way Treatment Center, we offer a comprehensive program focused on optimizing brain health. The healthier the brain, the slower the rate of decline and the longer memory can be preserved.
For individuals already experiencing memory loss, early intervention is the most important factor in slowing progression and potentially avoiding disability. Several medications can affect the rate of brain cell death, but these treatments work only on living cells. Earlier treatment means more living brain cells and greater benefit.
For loved ones with advanced Alzheimer’s disease, memory restoration is not possible; however, quality of life can be significantly improved by treating the neuropsychiatric symptoms of advanced dementia. Our Medical Director, William A. Van Horn, MD, trained at Emory University and has helped thousands of individuals and families over the past two decades. With appropriate care, dignity, comfort, and meaningful relationships can still be preserved.
