About Highland Rivers – Cartersville
Highland Rivers provides comprehensive outpatient support and recovery services for addiction treatment. They serve adults and youth in Cartersville, Georgia with specialized services for veterans.
Their substance use treatment is based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) philosophy. This describes addiction as a chronic medical condition that is treatable. It involves interactions between your life experience, genetics, environment and brain circuitry.
Here, they use the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)’s 10 Guiding Principles of Recovery as a framework for treatment. This means they take a person-centered approach to help you independently manage your symptoms and cope with the challenges in life.
The veterans program offers hope to veterans who are living with substance use disorders or mental health challenges. They serve all veterans and their family members who may have limited income, or resources or are uninsured.
Services include counseling and a specialized engagement team that provides peer support, case management, and community referrals. Based on your individual needs, veterans can receive treatment through a variety of services.
They also provide treatment for children, adolescents, and emerging adults who are affected by mental health or addiction. This includes a school-based mental health program, outpatient services, and a recovery clubhouse where adolescents can learn coping skills to prevent continued use of psychoactive substances. If you need a more intensive level of care then you can ask about their residential recovery programs. While this location offers outpatient counseling only, there are residential options available for women, mothers, and men.
