About Atlanta Mission: The Shepherd’s Inn

Atlanta Mission’s Shepherd’s Inn is a nonprofit, Christ centered men’s shelter located in Atlanta, Georgia. They help men experiencing homelessness and they also help with mental illness and substance use disorder recovery.

Most of those seeking help are out of luck with few secure or trusted relationships. The center welcomes them in and helps them with the services they need, the first thing being a safe place to sleep and a meal.

If you decide you want their help, you’ll take a comprehensive assessment to determine your needs. After that you’ll accept residential services or they may direct you to an outside partner or program. The program’s goal is to help you become rooted in your community and live independently.

The services they provide include counseling, recovery education, life skills training, and educational and vocational services. The program also helps with job attainment. While in the shelter, you’ll have access to medical care and rehab classes.

After you graduate from the program you may still have the option of living there while you find housing and employment. You’re encouraged to grow relationships in the community as well as stay in touch with your counselors from the program to support your lasting sobriety.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

12-Step

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).

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.

Treatments

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

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

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.

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.

I was in the 30 day program, although I appreciated the bed and food provided I must say the staff is very rude and unprofessional. I literally got kicked out and left in the cold weather on the night of new year day because I opened the entrance door to say happy new years to the kindest person everyone literally knows in the program. They even didn’t want me to pack my stuff at first. No one couldn’t believe the reason they kicked me out. But through the grace of God I made it through all the bs. They also let people steal your clothes in the laundry room. They kick good people out for petty reasons while letting people who fought and start arguments back in. I thank the lord for getting me out of there. The staff are the ones who really needs HELP!!
