Villa Rica is a small town in Carroll County known for its quiet and suburban atmosphere. This area provides a calmer alternative to the hustle and bustle of larger urban areas. The clinic is situated in a peaceful rural setting about 40 minutes west of Atlanta. The area is accessible by car via I-20, which offers a direct link to clients from Atlanta and Douglasville.

Nearby attractions like the Red Oak Creek Pine Mountain and Sweetwater Creek State Park give the area character. They also offer an avenue for outdoor activities, relaxation and just exploring if you want to make your recovery journey memorable.
Medication-assisted treatment supports holistic healing by combining meds approved by the FDA and counseling. This proven technique is the standard for effectively addressing opioid use issues. The clinic offers a prescription of Suboxone for their medication-assisted treatment. This FDA-approved medication alleviates physiological cravings, eliminating painful withdrawal and normalizes your brain chemistry.
It essentially blocks the “high” that gets you hooked into wanting more illicit opioids. With that, it becomes easier for you to focus on the psychological and social issues contributing to your opioid use via counseling. Counseling also helps you develop new tools and coping strategies to better manage the triggers and prevent relapse.
This combined technique makes it easy for you to stay longer in treatment thereby strengthening your relapse prevention strategies and ensuring lasting abstinence. It’s a long-term strategy that’s geared toward lasting abstinence so that you can regain control of your life.
The facility offers trauma therapy, Christian psychiatry and cognitive fitness as part of their broader mental health support. I feel each of these services offers a unique perspective that can benefit your addiction recovery journey. Trauma therapy helps address past emotional wounds, enabling you to heal and build a stronger foundation for recovery.
Christian psychiatry integrates spiritual support, helping you connect with your faith while addressing behavioral concerns. This can be integrated into your therapeutic intervention to help you find hope and comfort in recovery. Cognitive fitness works on strengthening your mental clarity and resilience. This is helpful in managing stress and developing healthy coping strategies. These approaches combine to offer a holistic and well-rounded support system for your recovery.
