Drug Rehab Centers in Murphy, North Carolina

I've been in treatment 14 years. God and Medmark gave me my life back. If you truly want to feel normal again and get your life back on track then I suggest starting treatment ASAP. I have the best councillor anybody could ever have. Sherry Barnes knows me inside and out! The reason I don't go to a clinic closer to me is because of Sherry. You've got to have a councillor that you trust or your treatment could become jeopardized. So if you are ready to get your life back then I suggest Medmark and Sherry Barnes!

I have been going to this treatment center since August. In that amount of time I have seen people heal from opiate addiction to move on to healthier and better lives. I will say that the counselors at this clinic care deeply about each one of the people who walks through the door every day. If you struggle with addiction, I would suggest calling and talking to one of the counselors. Truly they care.

Broke down up here in Blairsville on our way home to Marietta. Needed to guest dose for 3 days and they ended up going above and beyond to do what they could to help us. Extremely thankful for this place. The director is definitely a lot more helpful and nice than the director at our home clinic. Definitely recommending them to anyone that needs them in this area. Joy, Shauna,and the dosing nurse are wonderful people and helped us when we needed it the most. Cant say thank you enough!!! ----Alicia and Brad----

Fast professional service every time we have been there.

The Blairsville clinic is the BEST place to go for healthcare in Georgia! The staff is very helpful, informative and friendly. The waiting room is clean and comfortable. A special thanks to Jessica Collins & Melissa Anderson!!! You both totally ROCK!!! This is the very FIRST time my husband has left a doctor's office with a smile on his face! We cannot say enough about the quality of care and service at this location!!!

Friendly people, usually don't have to wait long for the scheduled appointment. Will answer questions.

Embark Behavioral Health in Benton, TN, was truly a lifeline for our family when we had no other hope. Our 13-year-old son just completed the program, and the transformation we ve seen in him is nothing short of incredible. His ability to regulate his anger has improved tremendously, and we feel more equipped as parents to support him moving forward.A huge part of this success is thanks to his therapist, Kevin, who was an absolute Godsend. Kevin has the patience of a saint and not only helped our son but also taught us as parents more than we ever thought possible. The guidance and support we received throughout this journey were life-changing.If you re on the fence about taking this step, I encourage you to do it. It s scary, but for us, it has been the best decision we ve ever made for our family. We are forever grateful to Embark!

If you are searching for a residential program, you have found it. I cannot express the true impact the team in Benton has had on our family. Beginning on day one, they tirelessly invested in not only our son, but our family as one unit. The support and care is unmatched and we are so grateful. They have helped us restore the peace, understanding, and love within our family.

Our 15-year-old son went to Embark on 12/2/24 and was discharged on 3/9/25. Before Embark, he struggled with a whirlwind of emotions that made day to day activities difficult for him and those around him. He had been in therapy since he was 3 and we felt like we were just spinning our wheels and going in circles. The anger and aggression was escalating and property destruction was frequent. Our son struggled with low self esteem, communicating with others, intrusive thoughts, suicidal ideations, and even a suicide attempt. After several acute stays and a lot of back and forth about what the next steps should be, we decided to give residential a try.After being denied by a few other facilities, we felt defeated. Then I saw an ad for Embark on my FB feed. After combing through the website, I called. The process was fairly easy and VERY thorough, which I loved. When we got the call that there was a bed available, I was so nervous. I hadn't spent more than a week away from any of my kids and here I was about to send a part of my heart off to some strange place nearly 8 hours away from home and trust strangers to care for him.From the moment that we stepped foot in the front door, we were welcomed with open arms and treated like family. The knots that were in my stomach began to fade away and I knew that he was in good hands. Chris was our son's therapist. He challenged our son to think on a deeper level and access some things that he buried a long time ago. He treated our son with compassion and structure that was much needed and we cannot thank him enough. The residential and rec staff are amazing as well, and have really made a lasting impact on our son. Chef Dan was amazing and took time to listen to our son when he needed to talk (our son has a passion for cooking, too). School has always been tough for our son. At Embark, he recieved the supports that he needed and actually started to enjoy learning again. Each staff member got to know our son and it was so nice to hear other people point out his strengths instead of focusing on the things that he struggles with.Family Days were well thought out and engaging. Each activity allowed us to learn more about our son and ourselves. We were able to realize things that needed to change in our family system. We were challenged to see things through the eyes of our child, and with that came a lot more understanding, communication, and grace with each other.When we got the call that our son would be discharging, it was bittersweet. He was a little sad to leave his friends and the staff that he became so fond of. We were nervous about how things would go when we returned home. The transition planning was done wonderfully. Ian helped us make sure that everything was set up back home (therapy, meds, school). He even sat in on an IEP meeting that occurred over a week after discharge and has followed up with us to make sure things were going well.We are very pleased with the progress that our son has made in the short 3 months that he was there. He made real connections with peers; something that he has struggled doing since he was little. He learned to embrace the things that make him unique. He discovered talents that he didn't know he had. He experienced things that he likely would not have experienced at home.Since returning home, he has definitely gotten frustrated and angry (it is inevitable with 4 siblings). The difference is that he has learned so many skills and how to implement those skills at the right time. Situations that would have escalated to thrown/smashed furniture and screaming that lasted hours three months ago are now a few huffs and puffs and a little grunting that lasts minutes. We have definitely noticed his efforts in using his coping skills since he's been home and I am so proud of all the hard work that he has put in and the growth he has shown.I would 100% recommend Embark at Benton to anyone who is looking into residential treatment for their son. If we ever get to a point where it's needed again, we know where we will calling first.

First Light did everything i had hoped for and more. My son made so much progress there and really enjoyed the experience. When u asked what he would miss when he left, without hesitation he said the people .

This program really helped my family and I. We were in a desperate situation and feeling like our son was not going to make it. First Light saved my son and our family. Their staff is top-notch the therapy and the experience he received was invaluable and beyond helpful. We saw a big change in our son after this program.

This is a great program and a real game changer for my 16 y.o daughter. First Light posesses a very knowledgable and dedicated staff. I highly reccomend it.

I love highland rivers....!! I am a dual diagnosis and they have helped me immensely

Kimberly is a jewel..she has been very helpful with my child..ty Kim

Hi. I just want to say this is a great facility for detoxing and peer support. But, when I came here I was not able to receive the medication I needed when I found the one that worked. I told my doctor that the adavan the nurses were giving me worked and that I was calm and aware of my surroundings. He said to take lithium and I said No because I have been on so many drugs in the past and they did not work, that because I knew the adavan worked to give me that. I started arguing with him and then I left without any medication except for the one pill that actually worked the first night I got there. So now it's been 5 months and I still have the same underlying problems; paranoia, anxiety, negative energy, hate, anger, and pessimism. I just want the nurses and health aides to know they are very good people and do a good job and the psychiatrist is a big fat nimrod with a paper shredder degree. Thank you.
