Atlanta Recovery Place provides comprehensive
outpatient programs for substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders. Special programs are offered for professionals and executives, veterans, college students, LGBTQ+, and gender-specific tracks are also available.
Atlanta Recovery offers structured day treatment that addresses both the mental and physical aspects of substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions. The program provides the medical and psychological care needed to fully recover from addiction, without requiring patients to live onsite. Treatment plans include a combination of individual and family counseling,
group therapy, neurofeedback, relapse prevention, life skills, anger management, mindfulness, 12-Step facilitation, and medicated assistance (as needed). Patients are also granted recreational access to local pools, gyms, and tennis courts. Other experiential therapies include animal therapy, music therapy, art therapy, and yoga. The program lasts 30-90 days, with a specific treatment plan tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
Atlanta Recovery’s
intensive outpatient (IOP) uses the evidence-based and experiential therapies offered in day treatment and meets for 3 hours a day, either in the morning or the evening. Traditional outpatient care offers clients the ability to have more flexibility, with less than 9 hours per week in treatment and is a good option for individuals with a strong support system or who might not need as much supervision in treatment.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Atlanta Recovery Place provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
