Appling ITF Offender Overview
Appling Integrated Treatment Facility is operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections facility system, not by the Appling County Sheriff's Office. GDC identifies it as an RSAT Center in Baxley. RSAT means Residential Substance Abuse Treatment, a prison program model for people in state custody who need structured treatment rather than a standard county jail bed. The facility serves adult male felons and probationers in a medium-security setting. Ware State Prison is listed as the host facility, which matters when families see both the Appling County location and a state-prison host in GDC material.
This distinction is central to Appling County inmate lookup. A person arrested by the Appling County Sheriff's Office or Baxley Police Department usually begins in the local jail system. A person housed at Appling Integrated Treatment Facility is searched through GDC because the resident is in state corrections custody or a state treatment placement. For local booking records, the county jail record path remains separate from this Appling Integrated Treatment Facility offender search. A state placement may appear after sentencing, probation revocation, or other GDC classification action, so the right lookup tool depends on where the person is held now.
The GDC Appling ITF page shows the state facility page used for Appling Integrated Treatment Facility records, capacity, mission, programs, and directions.
The facility page is useful for confirming the state agency, the RSAT role, and the Appling County address before using the statewide offender search.
Appling ITF Offender Capacity
GDC lists Appling Integrated Treatment Facility with a capacity of 206. The same research set found older PREA audit context that described a 204 designed capacity and a 195 current population in 2015, but that older number should be treated as historical context only. The current facility page is the cleaner source for the present capacity figure. The housing layout also supports that count: four dormitories with 50 beds each, plus four isolation or segregation cells in two double-bunk cell areas.

Appling ITF Offender Lookup
Use the GDC Find an Offender page for Appling Integrated Treatment Facility records. The county jail roster is not the correct first stop for this facility because Appling ITF is a state treatment site. The GDC locator is free, but the public form starts with a disclaimer gate and GDC warns that information may not be complete. GDC also says users should verify details by written correspondence with Inmate Records at P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029.
- Open the GDC offender locator landing page and continue through the disclaimer to the offender query form.
- Search by last name and first name, or use a GDC ID number or case number if that identifier is known.
- Use the county, scope, photo, and records-per-page filters only as needed. Broad searches can return too many results.
- Check the profile or result for the listed facility. Appling Integrated Treatment Facility should be treated as a current state placement only when GDC shows that location.
- Confirm urgent custody, transfer, or visitation questions with GDC or the facility before making plans.
The GDC offender query form shows the disclaimer gate and search fields used for state offender lookup.
Search results may include photos if available, but GDC treats the locator as a starting point, not a final certified record.
| GDC Search Field | How It Helps an Appling ITF Search |
|---|---|
| Name | Use first and last name when no GDC ID number is known. |
| County | May include Appling County, but county is not the same as current facility. |
| Scope | Active, inactive, or all records can change the result set. |
| Photos | GDC warns that photos display automatically when available. |
| GDC ID Number | The most precise way to retrieve a known state offender record. |
| Facility | Use the listed facility to confirm whether Appling ITF is the current placement. |
Appling ITF Custody Contact
Contact information for Appling Integrated Treatment Facility should be used for facility-specific questions, mailed visitation applications, and verification of current procedures. GDC lists the physical address in Baxley, a fax line, and a mailing address. The facility phone is the better first contact for day-of travel questions, while formal offender-record verification may require GDC's Inmate Records process. Do not use Appling County Jail staff to confirm state RSAT housing unless the person has moved back into county custody.

Appling ITF Offender Visitation
Visitation at Appling Integrated Treatment Facility follows GDC rules. A visitor must be approved before scheduling a visit, and that approval process starts with a visitation request form submitted to the facility where the offender is housed. GDC requires supporting documents when they apply, such as photo identification, a marriage license, or a birth certificate. Consent forms must be notarized. Applications must be mailed because GDC states that emailed forms are not accepted.
GDC's visit an inmate page explains the approval path, scheduled-visit tools, dress rules, and common visitor arrest risks.
The key point for Appling ITF families is sequence: approval comes first, then scheduling tools can be used after the visitor is on the approved list.
| Visitation Step | GDC Requirement | Appling ITF Note |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Submit a visitation request form. | Mail it to the facility where the offender is housed. |
| Documents | Provide photo ID and supporting records when required. | Marriage and birth records may matter for family status. |
| Consent | Notarized consent forms are required where applicable. | Do this before mailing the packet. |
| Scheduling | Use GDC scheduling tools after approval. | Unapproved visitors should not expect a same-day visit. |
| Entry rules | Follow dress, ID, and contraband rules. | Cell phones, drugs, and tobacco are highlighted risk items. |
Note: Call Appling ITF before travel because approval status, schedule availability, and entry rules can change.
Appling ITF Offender Mail
Appling Integrated Treatment Facility has a published mailing address, but GDC family services and facility rules should be checked before sending personal mail, packages, or documents. Mail rules can vary by facility and by offender status. Use the P.O. Box 247, Baxley, GA 31515 mailing address from GDC for facility mail only after confirming the current format, offender name requirements, and any limits on contents.
For deposits, GDC directs family and friends to its send money to an offender resources rather than Appling County jail payment tools. Fees or vendor terms were not listed in the Appling ITF research, so no dollar amount should be assumed.

Appling ITF Offender Intake
Appling Integrated Treatment Facility intake is not the same as street-arrest booking at Appling County Jail. County booking records track the arrest, jail entry, charges, bond, and local custody status. Appling ITF placement is a state corrections placement tied to treatment need, sentence status, probation status, and GDC classification. After a person leaves county jail for state custody, the county jail roster may no longer be the best place to confirm the current location.
The Appling ITF program is a nine-month residential substance-abuse and mental-health treatment program for high-risk, high-needs offenders with a substance-abuse history. GDC describes the mission as reducing chronic recidivism linked to substance abuse and crime by meeting dual-diagnosis needs. In plain terms, dual diagnosis means treatment is aimed at both substance use and mental-health needs when both are present. The program includes advanced cognitive-behavioral substance-abuse treatment, mental-health services, counseling, reentry services, and structured education or work roles.

- Residential Substance Abuse Treatment, the state program model used at Appling Integrated Treatment Facility.
- GDC ID
- The Georgia Department of Corrections number used to identify a state offender record.
- Classification
- The state placement process that decides facility, custody level, and program assignment.
- Detainer
- A hold or notice from another agency that may affect release or transfer.
Appling ITF Offender Programs
Appling Integrated Treatment Facility is built around treatment and reentry, not a general local jail mission. GDC lists Adult Basic Education, Literacy Remedial Reading, GED preparation, RSAT/SPECTRUM, reentry, mental-health services, general population counseling, recreation, and worship services. Vocational and on-the-job roles include barbering, custodial maintenance, food preparation, kitchen helper, baker, cook, groundskeeper, laundry, maintenance repair or building work, career guidance technician or aide, and general office clerk work in education or library settings.
GDC also announced a leadership change for the facility in 2025. In a July 10, 2025 press release, the department said Dedrick Anthony was promoted from Assistant Superintendent to Superintendent at Appling Integrated Treatment Facility, effective July 16, 2025. The release described his role as overseeing staff and supervising male detainees. That update is recent state-agency context, but routine offender lookup, visitation approval, and mail questions still run through the normal GDC and facility channels.
Note: Confirm custody, program placement, and visit approval with GDC before relying on an old search result.
