About Anchor Hospital – Atlanta
Anchor Hospital is a rehab in Atlanta, Georgia, that’s also a psychiatric treatment center. This can be perfect for people with both addiction and a mental illness because this rehab can treat both.
They’ll help teens who have psychiatric issues. However, the addiction program here is for adults who are 18 and older. There are actually programs at multiple different levels in both outpatient and inpatient settings. With this level of customization, you can be sure that you’ll get treatment that is suited to your situation.
As far as the treatment itself it’s based on 12 step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. There are daily meetings on site. The main focus of this program is group therapy. But you’ll also have classes about addiction and relapse prevention.
I found it interesting that there are more than just standard addiction groups in this program. There are also groups for specific issues you might be dealing with like grief and trauma. There’s a special program for older adults as well. I also noticed that there’s a medical detox unit at this rehab. That way, you can take the first steps toward recovery here.
Keep in mind, though, that some past clients have had concerns about the conditions and resources at this rehab. Other clients were happy with their experience and the accommodations, so it may be best to look around and make sure it’s up to your standards.
