About the Facility

Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia offers science-based, medically assisted detox and outpatient rehab programs for alcohol and drug addiction in Savannah, Georgia. Their services are confidential to ensure recovery is not impeded by a need for privacy.

Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia Savannah provides medically assisted detox, medication assisted treatment in an outpatient setting, family therapy, and a special track for executives.

At ARC Savannah, medical detox is offered to remove all addictive drugs from the body while under the care of licensed medical professionals who ensure the clients are as comfortable as possible during the process. They provide FDA-approved medications and other interventions under physician supervision to help manage withdrawal symptoms. After completing the detox program, clients and family members can participate in one of ARC’s outpatient treatment programs.

IOP in Savannah is designed for clients who live in the area and can come to the office four days a week for two-hour sessions of group therapy. Clients can also work one-on-one with a licensed therapist one day per week. Based on unique needs and the therapist’s assessment, these sessions may be for individual or family therapy. These appointments must be scheduled.

Those who struggle with opioid abuse often require FDA approved medications to assist in the detox process and maintaining recovery. ARC specifically utilizes Suboxone as a tool in their MAT program. The medication is administered by a professional who can manage the dose and track progress. Counseling is required to support treating the underlying cause of the addiction, allowing for a higher rate of success in remaining abstinent.

Dual diagnosis, often referred to as co-occurring disorders, is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long-term sobriety is achieved.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehab enables clients to receive addiction treatment while continuing to work and reside at home. Many programs offer evening, night, and weekend services so that clients may receive treatment on their own schedule. Outpatient treatment modalities typically include addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and/or medication assisted treatment (MAT). Many programs also provide step-down care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient services, to align with clients’ evolving needs.

Inpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients enrolled in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) travel to treatment centers for specialized care multiple times per week. Intensive outpatient treatment allows clients to receive robust care while continuing to live at home. Most programs require between nine and 20 treatment hours per week, with the frequency and intensive of sessions decreasing as clients stabilize. Services generally include a combination of addiction counseling, medication assisted treatment (MAT), recovery-focused life skills training, and holistic therapies.

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox is the process of ridding the body of addictive substances in a medically supervised setting. If you become chemically dependent on a substance like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines (like Xanax or Ativan), quitting abruptly can cause uncomfortable or even dangerous side effects. Licensed medical professionals ensure the process goes as safely and comfortably as possible while monitoring you 24/7 and administering any required medications,

Clinical Services

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.
