Atlanta Recovery Place

About Atlanta Recovery Place – Dunwoody

Less than 30 minutes outside of Atlanta lies Atlanta Recovery Place in Dunwoody, Georgia. Here you can access a full continuum of outpatient care for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. They welcome adults and offer customized treatment plans to meet you where you are in recovery.

They offer partial hospitalization, intensive and standard outpatient programs. Each provides the freedom of living at home and attending treatment. Still, you’ll benefit from a structured program with your recovery goals at the forefront. You can access a personalized treatment plan with targeted care based on the length of your addiction, the type of drug, your treatment motivation and social support systems.

What stands out most to me is their holistic approach. Along with traditional interventions like individual and group sessions, peer support, and 12 Step programs, you can access tailored approaches for your mind, body and soul. You can participate in experiential therapies, incorporating yoga, music and art.

Of these therapies, their animal assisted one really stood out. These sessions can include an animal for emotional support during traditional therapy or solely focus on engaging with the animal. This approach helps you build trust and empathy, connect emotionally and promote healing. You’ll have a comfortable space to open up and engage in treatment.

Another standout feature that caught my eye was their gender-specific and trauma informed approach. Unique biological, environmental and social factors can influence men and women differently. Moreover, traumatic experiences can greatly influence addiction and how you respond to treatment. They ensure you receive tailored care for your specific needs. That way you can participate in approaches that address root causes and unique elements in your healing journey.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

24-Hour Clinical Care

24 hour clinical care provides close medical supervision for individuals in the early stages of recovery. Medical professionals monitor individuals around the clock for complications and provide immediate intervention when needed.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
