I stayed at Good Shepherd from Dec 2024–Feb 2025, and it’s the most unprofessional, unsafe recovery program I’ve ever seen. Leadership is controlling, religiously coercive, and outright dishonest. They mocked residents’ faiths, forced church attendance in their double-wide trailer, and restricted us to $20 cash per week. For months there was no house manager—illegal under THOR rules—and they locked residents out entirely. They’ve hired staff who falsified drug tests, taken no responsibility for their actions, and allowed obviously relapsed addicts to hang around the property. Therapy was a joke—confidential details were openly shared, residents were harassed, and personal information was weaponized for punishment. Daily life meant hours of pointless monitored classes, unpaid labor, and mandatory “anonymous” meetings where privacy didn’t exist. This place is crooked, controlling, and dangerous. Avoid it at all costs.

As you have revealed yourself as a past client, you have removed yourself from the protection of HIPAA and allow us to respond. We get negative reviews from people we have been forced to dismiss due to their inability and unwillingness to follow rules and treat other clients with respect. All clients who come to our program must be open to change, and willing to follow rules, or they are dismissed. In your case, every client and staff member in the house wrote you a letter to tell you how you were negatively affecting the entire house and you refused to believe any of them. As we told you before, we wish the best for you as you pursue your recovery elsewhere.

I graduated from this program about 6 months ago. It is the best program in the state. And very very affordable. The facility is a huge house in the Jasper mountains with beautiful scenery all around. It is a very clean house. Beautiful house. I miss my workouts in the backyard :) Ronnie and Penny Haynes (they run the place) do a great job of making it a safe place where you can develop a clear and sustainable path to recovery and healing. I met so many good men who changed their lives at Good Shepherd, me included. Ronnie and Penny treat you like their own family. They will love you even if you don't want to be loved. Penny is a fantastic counselor who does not force you to heal, but I promise you, she will earn your trust. And then you will want to heal. You will want to open up to Penny so you can get your life back on track. And Ronnie is like a good father who will fight for you even when you don't have the heart to fight for yourself. Recovery is hard, and it is hard on the people around you too, but Ronnie and Penny will not abandon you. They will be with you every step of the way. I could go on and on - and probably should - but the point is that the Good Shepherd is a place where you can focus on your own healing in a safe and wonderful place surrounded by good people who truly want you to live your best sober life. If you are reading this, I'm sure you or a family member is having a tough time. I don't know you but I know God loves you and I love you too, and whatever hardships you are going through in life, I know that you can find help here. I certainly did.

This is a wonderful place for men in need of a safe place to recover from many forms of addiction. The home is huge and welcoming and provides men a place to learn many great things . The counseling is fantastic too. It is a Christ centered ministry, and Pastor Ronnie and Penny are sound Biblical teachers of The Word. They are honest and sincere. And the Lord is blessing this ministry.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient rehabs feature intensive clinical supervision and a highly structured and supportive environment, meaning they are especially well suited for clients in early recovery and those at risk of relapse. Clients reside at the treatment facility and engage in various therapeutic sessions throughout the day, including addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many programs also offer evidence-based complementary therapies, such as meditation and massage.

Treatments

Alcoholism is a pattern of alcohol use that involves continued drinking even when it causes problems. Alcoholism is also characterized by a physical dependence on alcohol, which causes the body to experience withdrawal symptoms when alcohol is not present. Due to this physical dependence, medically-supervised detox is often necessary to safely recover from alcoholism. Alcohol rehab in Georgia offers a three-step process of detox, rehab, and maintenance to help individuals recover from alcohol addiction.

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.

Programs

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Clinical Services

While cognitive behavioral therapy in Georgia is unique for each person, this therapy follows a standard structure that has proven effective. Clients first learn about their substance use disorder, then learn and practice techniques such as coping, stress management, and resilience to change their thought and behavior patterns.

heartbeat iconMoral Reconation Therapy

In trauma therapy, you address the emotional and psychological effects of traumatic events in your life. Your therapist provides you with the tools you need to process those memories and reduce the symptoms. This helps improve your overall mental health and functioning.

Men and women in Georgia may experience Motivational Interviewing techniques while undergoing individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This approach helps you explore how you feel about drug use and it strengthens your commitment to maintaining treatment. It is particularly useful in the early stages of recovery.

People in Georgia find that group therapy offers a place to share responsibility for each other's recovery. This helps foster a collective commitment to sobriety, which increases your potential for success and creates a network of mutual support that often follows into personal friendships.
