About Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery Center – Ball Ground
Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery Center is an alcohol and drug addiction treatment center based in Ball Ground, Georgia. They offer medically supervised detox and inpatient treatment services to adults. They have a program specifically designed to treat active military members, veterans and first responders. They take a whole person approach to treatment, not only discussing the mental aspect of addiction, but also tackling physical, social and environmental aspects.
They created their veterans program to facilitate social connection, giving you access to peers who can relate to you in an incredibly unique way. Most of the programming in this service offering is done in groups, building a sense of camaraderie that lasts even after treatment is complete. They’ll take you through a number of topics relating to healing in the context of your experiences. These include learning how to set boundaries in your relationships, controlling your anger and building a support system.
One thing I like about Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery Center is that they make it easy for family members to be involved with their loved one’s recovery journey. They encourage family members to make frequent visits to see their loved one’s progress. And if they believe it will help you, your therapist may suggest family therapy sessions as part of your treatment program.
They also have a family program available to all inpatient residents at no extra cost. Every three weeks, they offer a two-day workshop. This program aims to educate family members on the effects of addiction and establish healthy communication dynamics within the family unit. They look at the harmful effects addiction can have on relationships and look at ways to repair that damage during and after recovery. They also help family members examine their roles in the addiction and facilitate open conversations about changes that need to be made. This not only supports the resident through their recovery, but also their family members as they navigate loving someone who has experienced addiction.
