About Athens Addiction Recovery Center – Athens
AARC stands for Athens Addiction Recovery Center. They offer a continuum of outpatient care in Athens, Georgia. You can access detox, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient care while living at home. They serve adults seeking treatment for addiction and co-occurring disorders.
One standout feature I noticed is AARC’s gender-specific programs. Each takes a deep dive into the unique contributing factors of addiction in men and women. I like this approach because it not only offers more personalized care. It also provides a comfortable environment to connect with and open up to peers in recovery. You’ll have a safe space without distractions to share your experiences as you grow and heal together.
Their programs use the American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria to assess and diagnose your symptoms. That way, they can provide appropriate care that fits your situation. They make treatment easily accessible with day and evening options at different intensity levels. You can participate in psychoeducation and therapeutic individual, group, and family sessions.
Their expansive list of therapies also stood out to me. They provide truly individualized care with over 10 addiction therapy programs. You can access trauma therapy, relapse prevention, ketamine therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy.
