Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

Offers specialized treatment for individuals facing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. The center provides a structured path to recovery through various levels of care tailored to individual needs. At American Alternative Court Services (AACS Atlanta), clients can engage in intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient programs. They uniquely integrate clinical therapy with court-ordered evaluations and counseling, supporting people in meeting both personal wellness goals and important legal requirements, creating a comprehensive support system for lasting change. The center’s approach is centered on helping people change harmful behaviors and thought patterns. Core therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which reframes negative thinking, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which builds skills for emotional regulation and mindfulness. Through individual and group psychotherapy, clients learn practical coping strategies and relapse prevention techniques. This process addresses underlying issues like trauma and codependency, empowering individuals to challenge destructive beliefs and achieve lasting personal growth and successful recovery. The center offers a safe, affirming environment with specific outpatient rehab programs for the LGBTQ+ community. They also provide a range of court-mandated classes for issues like shoplifting, theft prevention, and anger management. For those needing to address more deep-rooted behavioral patterns, advanced cognitive skills classes offer a more intensive therapeutic option. By providing all services in both English and Spanish, the center ensures its comprehensive and specialized care is accessible to a diverse community.
