MG Counseling Services

About the Facility

MG Counseling Services is a rehab offering outpatient programs for adults in Marietta, Georgia. They provide mental health counseling, psychiatric services, and addiction treatment for people with substance use disorders.

Addiction and mental health related services offered at MG Counseling Services include dual diagnosis assessments and treatment plans, intensive outpatient programming, substance use disorder outpatient detox, counseling, medication management, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and community-based referrals.

Assessments help to determine whether a person shows symptoms of co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. MG Counseling Services provides dual diagnosis services to treat both disorders at the same time using a variety of techniques, including CBT, relapse prevention, and stress reduction. Counseling is provided to individuals, couples, families, and in group settings.

MG Counseling Services’ substance use disorder treatment programs rely on evidence based practices to treat addiction and mental health conditions. They offer programs for adults ages 18 and over. Treatment begins with an assessment to determine individual needs, then rehab services, and often medication assisted treatment, are provided based on those results. Counselors work with participants to create a client centered treatment plan.

The medication-assisted treatment (MAT) rehab program includes counseling, support groups, and medication management in an outpatient setting. The MAT program is appropriate for alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, cocaine, methamphetamines, and marijuana addictions. As clients progress and stabilize, in person office appointments tend to become less frequent.

MG Counseling Services provides its mental health and substance abuse treatment services under various payment means, including a sliding scale payment model. This means for those who qualify, treatment fees are based on income. Clients should be prepared to fill out an application and provide the requested financial information. You may also be asked to provide Medicare, Medicaid, or other insurance information.

Treatment

Alcoholism

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.

Drug 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.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Dual-diagnosis rehabs in Georgia can help to support individuals struggling with both mental health and substance abuse through holistic treatment programs that address both issues simultaneously. Co-occurring disorder treatment typically includes counseling, medication support, therapy, group sessions, and skills training. This integrated approach treats the whole person and improves recovery outcomes by equipping participants with the necessary skills to continue their recovery.

Opioid Addiction

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.

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.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Clinical Services

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.
