Twin Lakes Recovery Center

About Twin Lakes Recovery Center – Athens

Twin Lakes Recovery Center has multiple locations, including its 35 acre residential facility on Highway 11 in Monroe, Georgia. The center is accredited by The Joint Commission. They treat substance use disorder as well as co occurring mental health disorders. They accept all major insurers. Even if your insurance isn’t on their list it’s likely that they accept it.

The center offers medical detox services in its inpatient facility. Detox is different for every person depending on the type of substance use and the amount of time you’ve used the substance. You’ll be medically monitored and treated for withdrawal symptoms. The acute phase of detox when you experience the most difficult symptoms usually lasts about 3-7 days. During detox, you’ll have access to the residential treatment program and other support.

The residential program includes experiential therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). You’ll also use the 12 Step program. You’ll have individual and group therapy, meet with a psychiatrist for medication management if necessary, and learn about relapse prevention. If appropriate, you’ll have access to medication assisted treatment (MAT) maintenance.

If you’re a Veteran or First Responder, they have the Tactical Recovery program. It’s a specially designed program to help you through PTSD. The care is trauma informed and they use evidence based practices such as accelerated resolution therapy (ART).

The staff is certified in ART which is an effective therapy for PTSD. ART is a VA-preferred treatment for Veterans. Every client in the inpatient program (whether you’re a Veteran, First Responder, or not) has an ART session within two weeks of beginning treatment. You may have follow-ups as needed.

The facility is on a wooded property and you’ll be able to play volleyball, basketball, badminton, and horseshoes. You’ll have time for walking, meditation, and fishing. There are also two miniature cows on the property that serve as therapy animals.

The Monroe location also has a two day family recovery program. Clients’ families come together with other families to learn about addiction and co occurring disorders. Family members learn how addiction affects more than the person with the substance use disorder. The family program is included in the price of inpatient treatment.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

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.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

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.

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

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
