I showed up at ARC almost 2 years ago in such bad shape that they considered me detoxing in a hospital. They medically detoxed me and did everything that was promised in a one on one phone call with the owner…twice, because I called back not believing him the first time. In a couple months I’ll celebrate 2 years of major health gains physically, mentally and spiritually. I tried all of the traditional avenues and this is the only thing that worked. Love and strength, ARC!!! Chuck “the healthcare guy”

Without hesitation, Accelerated is a 5 star. If you're an adult who is motivated to quit drinking, this place could save your life. The approach is based on scientific research and evidence on what actually works for people with addiction. You have 1:1 therapy for most of the day, have an elimination diet to reset your bodily systems including the right supplements to replenish your health, engage in mindfulness activities like meditation, personal training, and events in nature. You're treated like an adult - you stay in a hotel instead of bunked up with multiple other people, you go to a beautiful home-like setting during the day for 1:1 therapy from excellent master's and PhD level therapists, they don't steal your electronics or force you to do anything you don't want. It's the whole package real deal. It's what's been lacking in alcohol treatment for many years. This isn't the place to force someone to come. They're not going to lock the doors on you, or force you to sit through endless AA meetings. But if you're a somewhat functioning alcoholic and WANT to go, then it could save your life and your future and your relationships.

Unfortunately my husband and myself recommended Accelerated to our son because of a medical emergency that put him in the hospital for detox. Definitely not happy with our recommendation. First off, they put him up in the Four Seasons hotel where every day, for 12 days, which was his length of rehab, he had to walk by a beautiful bar area to get to his room.When I mentioned my hesitation about this they simply said, “well, he has to get used to “real life” situations”, even though he had no tools with which to use mentally for this. Being subjected to this was like putting a diabetic in a candy shop; he was able to drink every night (ordering vodka to be sent to his room) after his meetings ended at 5:00.. He met with each of the (6?) therapists for 1 hr. every day but if you do the research, which we did after the fact, 12 days is NOT nearly enough to get over an alcohol addiction. This is one of the hardest addictions to overcome. They do provide 6 months of 1 hr./week phone therapy, however, our son said he just lied to the therapist over the phone and told him he wasn’t drinking when in fact he had been. Over the phone there is no accountability. They took their 5 clients to work out 2x after therapy and the final day they took them to an “Escape Room”. All other times they were left alone in their hotel room because the hotel is situated in an area that is not conducive to getting out for walks. So, 6 months and $30,000 later, our son is looking into detoxing Again and entering another rehab facility And still paying off his debt. My suggestion: don’t waste your time or money.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Sober living homes in Georgia offers an alternative to the abrupt change of moving from intensive treatment to an unstructured home environment. Men's and women's sober living homes replicate everyday life situations, but they do so in a sober environment while also reinforcing healthy habits. This reduces the chance of relapse. Individuals who could use extra support after rehab or don't have a stable home environment can benefit from this transitional option.

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.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

A quality drug rehab in Georgia can help you overcome addiction. This environment is designed to help you address the complex issues contributing to drug dependence. The goal of treatment is to give you the tools you need to make a full recovery.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

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.

Clinical Services

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

I gave a very detailed review after my best friend finished your program. Two years later, I’m here to say it did not work for him. You promised 1 hour per week for 6 months. That did not happen. The person assigned to him missed a few calls, others he rescheduled,& none of them lasted an hour. The second things started not looking promising, he went back to drinking after staying sober for two years. Having had a weekly check in for 6 months they expect you to be recovered but that’s not the case. As expensive as the program is, they should have deducted all the time not used back from what he owed. They need a once a month call for another 6 months & then a bi monthly. They only care about the $ & instead of giving what time was promised, they chose not to deliver on it. He is still paying on that debt and he’s paying for promises not delivered. Very disappointing because I’m the one that found you guys and encouraged him to use you. I should’ve had him go elsewhere but I thought at the time this would be the best fit for him. I was wrong.
