The Retreat of Atlanta set out to develop an inpatient
detox program without using a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, they gather information about each client and their individual requirements before developing a plan suited to them. Support from medications and therapy can help address and manage any withdrawal symptoms in a safe, clinically-led facility.
The Retreat of Atlanta provides inpatient detox services under clinical and medical supervision. Their well-rounded program aims to ensure a positive experience and provide a chance to start over. They monitor detox start to finish, with the length depending on each client’s history with substance use, their usual dosage, and symptoms. With a knowledgeable staff, The Retreat of Atlanta monitors all vitals and progress throughout detox. Clinical staff can issue medications like Buprenorphine to manage cravings, allowing for a more comfortable experience.
Following detox, addiction specialists develop a treatment strategy based on the patient's post-detox requirements. Treatment can include individual counseling,
group therapy, family counseling, expressive therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), and therapeutic activities like yoga and meditation to help patients beat cravings and engage in personal growth. Therapeutic care also addresses mental health concerns, helping each client heal from their causing factor of addiction. The Retreat of Atlanta also helps clients find support and their next level of treatment after detox, setting them up for success.
The Retreat of Atlanta is conveniently located in Eatonton, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta. During each personalized detox plan, clients are surrounded by comfortable accommodations that are meant to feel safe, healing, and relaxing.
