My Wife and I have been going here for several months now and have had a WONDERFUL experience! I have been to 3 different clinics over the course of many years and by far this has been the most pleasant experience so far. The people from the owner to the councolers to the woman that checks you in have all been a breeze to work with. I have never felt judged or shamed regardless of how I presented as long as you are respectful and are trying to do the next right thing they will bend over backwards to help you succeed in your sobriety. Bambi, Hayden and Adriana are fantastic non judgmental councillors and will keep it real with you as long as you are real with them. They will work with you on payments as long as you are honest and do what you say your going to do when you say your going to do it. 10/10 would recommend and have to several people I know are still struggling.

The staff is absolutely incredible. If you can't afford to pay they'll let you go a few days until you get paid. They treat you like family. They remember your name, client ID #, and they remember details you talk about. You aren't just money to them. They really care about your recovery. And there is absolutely no judgment. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to better their lives and get into recovery!!!

Wish it was made mandatory to go down a certain mg every two weeks until your completely finished and off. Present a treatment plan on day 1 with a completion date and contract. So the patients know what and when to expect to be completed by. Exempt for the few people truly getting it for pain treatment. It's sad people spend years going to treatment places and not even progress any. Enforce it. Make them get off of it because they aren't strong enough or willing to do it themselves. It may not work for everyone but it would on most of them making it worth it. At some point people need to decide when to grow up and put it in the past.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

12-step icon12-Step

Participants in 12 step recovery programs focus on personal growth to address the emotional and psychological factors contributing to their addiction. 12 step recovery is rooted in spiritual development, but religious affiliation isn't required. Regular group meetings and individualized support with the help of self-selected sponsors promote participants' sobriety as they work through the 12 steps, gaining insight into their addiction, taking responsibility for their life choices, and releasing control over that which is uncontrollable.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

During rehab in Georgia, you may engage in motivational interviewing. This typically lasts one to two sessions and is designed to address any ambivalence you have toward change. It helps you explore your current situation and motivations and commit to making changes for the future.

Medicine Wheel Clinic is great across all fronts. Not only is the entire staff extremely kind but as a fun fact, it's a multi-generational small business owned by women. The care provided at Medicine Wheel is always in the best interest of the individuals served and it's great to know that the overall goal is to afford treatment to as many people who suffer from substance use disorders the care that's deserved. I feel privileged to know the individuals at The Medicine Wheel Clinic and encourage those looking for help to call or go by the clinic. They are non-judgmental people who understand the complexity of this disease.

Thus place is a complete and utter joke!! The owner has no interest in helping patients...she justs wants their money. The best counselors get fired. If a patient decides to transfer to another clinic, the owner will lie and say anything to make sure that patient is too scared to get better treatment. If you're going to Medicine Wheel right now & feel stuck, I PROMISE you that you have the right to transfer to another clinic!! There's another clinic in Winder that is taking patients & this clinic CARES ABOUT YOU...NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU BRING IN!!
