Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Designed for individuals who don't require round-the-clock care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a form of outpatient care with a higher level of support. PHP treatment can be an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down option. With daily sessions lasting 6 to 8 hours, up to 5 days a week, a partial hospitalization program may offer medication management, relapse prevention techniques, and behavioral therapy interventions. PHP treatment can be fully or partially covered by insurance.

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.

Behavioral Health Services handles crisis intervention plus crisis stabilization for adults of all ages. The care covers mental illness, substance use disorder and detoxification when an acute inpatient level is needed.

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.

Programs

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.

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

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.

This is the worst experience I’ve ever in my life had a hospital ER. My mother had my underage brother call me to come to her bc she was that ill very unlike my mother. I called the ambulance , that really started things off bc those guys rolled up like a dumb and dumber they were moving slow we had to flag them down to help them find a very simple suburban apartment. We asked to go to piedmont and they took us here. Now my mom came in ambulance in severe abdominal pain and they put her in a treatment waiting room no bed just a dirty room with a curtain a bunch of other patients and a chair and hung an iv from i coat hanger. she’s been screaming in pain begging for assistance being ignored begging for a blanket. The nurses have no empathy or care for these patients and the janitors are coming in more than them sweeping and mopping around them which just goes to show how it’s operating just throwing shit on floor… on the way to ct scan patients were in beds in halls crying in agony. I’ve never been to a hospital this bad in all my 38 years. it’s be 6 hours we’re still in waiting room visit from doctor and nurses are not checking in i’ve had to ask everytime and my mom had to start wailing in pain to get them to do anything they waited until her pain came back and her in bag drained. my underage brother can’t come back here we got to keep trading off to be with my mom bc she’s in the small room. It’s not even a room it’s a curtain.

I had a wonderful experience with the phlebotomist (Pearlie) today. She was very professional, gentle, patient, and made the blood draw quick and comfortable. She did an excellent job, and I truly appreciate her kindness and care. Thank you for making the experience so pleasant!

I had such a wonderful and pleasant visit today! My pre-op registered nurse, Mrs.Funke, was very attentive and informative. She made the environment a safe space for me to ask all my questions. This is my first time undergoing any type of surgery, so she definitely made me feel comfortable about everything I will be experiencing. I also had an amazing visit with the phlebotomist, Mrs. Pearlie Bryd, who was very gentle when performing my blood work. I didn’t feel anything! I don’t normally write reviews, but I definitely needed to make sure I left one today! Outstanding staff! I am specifically referring to the pre-surgical team at Bobby Bailey Women’s Tower Building on the 1st level.
