About Alliance Recovery

Alliance Recovery Center is an outpatient methadone clinic in Athens, Georgia, that offers addiction treatment for adults. The primary treatment provided at this facility is medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The medications they use to help reduce withdrawal symptoms are methadone and buprenorphine.

They combine this treatment with peer support, individual and group therapy sessions and other support services. Alliance Recovery Center has a team of licensed therapists who work with clients to uncover the underlying causes of their addiction. The facility will help clients become less dependent on medication as a tool for not relapsing if that’s what they desire. Additional team members on staff are nurses, doctors and pharmacists who monitor medication usage and overall health.

When patients first begin MAT, clients will be expected to visit the clinic six days a week to receive counseling and medication. As patients make progress in their treatment, the frequency of clinic visits is reduced and they can start being provided take-home medication. Individuals can choose to continue taking medication to prevent relapse or get assistance with becoming less dependent on the medication. The length of treatment varies, and the clinic believes it’s best not to enter treatment with any timeline in mind.

All clients will have a primary counselor assigned to them. While group counseling sessions are optional, individual therapy sessions are mandatory. The clinic will not charge any additional cost for participating in these services. Group counseling sessions discuss topics that can be helpful for recovery, such as life skills, stress management and relapse prevention. I like that Alliance Recovery Center offers consultation for other health concerns a client may have other than addiction. Every individual who is admitted for treatment will receive a physical exam.

I am completely off of opiates because of alliance! Not in the least a pleasant experience. I was given a new patient handbook when I first arrived. Every time I had an issue and referred to it I was told they changed that rule, so I'm not sure why they gave me the handbook. My counselor Amillie was the worst. She made me take the hit for a failed drug test that was not mine. She even called me and told me that another client of hers that was there the same day admitted to doing the drugs that I failed for and was surprised his test was clean. Instead of her advocating for me she was reprimanded for being "to honest". I know that because she got "to honest" again on a later phone call. Amillie even kept calling me after I switched counselors. Very unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable. So in the end I had to choose between an extremely fast taper or have to keep asking for help from a place that did not have my best interest in mind. I choose to be sick for a couple months and about the time I would start to question what I was doing, I would have to go pick up again. As soon as I would get to alliance I was reminded, being sick is better than allowing someone else to make you sick.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.

Treatments

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-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

Clinical Services

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Very disappointed on how they treated my sister. The lady over the phone was very rude acting like I was making a regular doctor's appointment. She did not say her name when she answered the phone, my sister did recognize her voice I said that was the African-American lady that works a front area phone. She literally said next week Tuesday after I asked her about coming in for intake for my sister. I asked her what were the days of intake if you had Tuesdays and Wednesdays but with an attitude. It was Monday when we called. What kind of recovery place makes a person wait a week or two to go get daily help? Please hire someone with more compassion.

I became opiate dependent 23 years ago after a accident and ended up in pain management. One of the worst things that could happen to someone in chronic pain, anyway after much deliberation over where to go to find some help I found Alliance Recovery Center. With much apprehension I walked in not knowing what to expect but was met with wonderful smiles from the front office staff that immediately made me feel much better. Than I met my counselor and was so comfortable talking to her that it made the whole process easy. Everyone I encountered was so nice and helpful and when I walked out I knew I had made the right decision on where I could finally get the help I needed. Thank you God for putting me on the path of recovery and a new life with the help of all the nice professionals at Alliance. 😀❤️
