About Purple Recovery Center for Men

This program is based on the philosophy of an Active Recovery Lifestyle. Many rehabs focus only on taking drugs and alcohol out of your life. Purple does this but they also emphasize adding fulfillment and empowerment to your life. They guide you toward finding new healthy ways to satisfy the needs that used to lead you to drugs and alcohol.

This program usually lasts four to six months. It’s all highly personalized to you and what will best serve your recovery. There’s an emphasis on brotherhood along the way too. You’ll learn how to support and receive support from your fellow men, and you’ll build bonds that will strengthen your long term sobriety.

While I was intrigued and encouraged by the whole philosophy of this rehab I also noticed that they take a step down approach. You start with a more intensive program and treatment, but as you get further along in your recovery you take on more and more freedom. This could be a great way to ease back into independent life by the end of your program.

Purple is an amazing place. This program has helped me completely turn my life around. The staff at Purple is nothing short of fantastic. Everyone there genuinely cares about each and everyones recovery and helps them however they can. The program they run is unlike any other, it's very active and helps guys learn how to have fun sober again. They offer great one on one therapy sessions that are very engaging. If anyone reading this is on the fence about where they should go for their recovery, look no further. This is the place.

Currently changing my life for the better. I am 130 days sober. I extended my stay after checking myself in to Purple (my second rehab). I decided to stay 6 months because after learning how to live sober I started learning how to be a better man, father, partner, and believer. I came with a mindset of openness, willingness, and honesty… My higher power and purple did the rest by guiding me and recommending actions for me to take that will improve my day to day life.

Accepted Insurance

Purple Recovery Center for Men works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

Financing your treatment can make treatment more accessible. You'll work with your care provider to set up payment plans, including interest rates and repayment timelines. Financing options vary widely and not all programs offer them, so be sure to get the full details before enrolling in treatment. If you have insurance or other benefits, financing may help you cover your remaining out of pocket expenses.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Aftercare groups are included, at no additional cost, as a part of the Residential Program for all clients who successfully complete the Residential Program. This means that they may attend the aftercare group and any other groups they provide for as long as they like as long as they are staying continuously sober.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

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.
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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
program-for-men thumbnail image

Program For Men

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

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

The family is central at Purple. Their founders are a father-son team whose passions are fueled by their own family recovery experience. Regularly scheduled groups and workshops for the family encourage bold change and growth. Twice monthly, Purple’s family coordinator meets with families, guiding them as they engage in their own recovery journey. These groups are fueled by exploration and hopefulness.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

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.

I can't say enough positive things about Purple. It was a godsend for our son and our family. The support of the Purple staff and Purple families helped us get through a difficult time, and to understand what our son was going through with the treatment. It also supported our family with support/ learning classes. The comradary that the men have is so special during treatment and afterwards. My son has made a lot of lifetime friends. Thank you Purple... we love and appreciate you!💜

Response from the owner
Jana, your words mean so much to us. We’re grateful that your son—and your family—found strength, healing, and true brotherhood here at Purple Recovery Center for Men. Seeing men form lifelong friendships while families also receive support is why we do what we do. Thank you for trusting us to walk this journey with you. 💜

I have a family member that attended Purple and I feel that he is here today thanks to Purple's program and by God's grace. My nephew has been clean and sober for over 10 years and he is now a loving husband and new father. He would never have achieved these goals without God and Purple. The program was exactly what he needed as he is, and still needs to be VERY active. The program fit him perfectly and he is still very involved with his Purple family and their active lifestyle to this day. I know it was hard for him, but Purple's program, their method of reintegrating their clients back into their families lives and the work force, and post recovery programs are unmatched. Purple becomes a second family for these young men and they perform miracles. Thank you Brett, Joel and all the others that helped mold my nephew to become the awesome young man he is today! If you have a son or husband that struggles with addiction, please run, don't walk to Purple. They change lives!

Response from the owner
Lisa, your words truly reflect what we hope for every man who walks through our doors. Hearing about your nephew’s 10+ years of sobriety, his family life, and continued connection with his Purple brothers fills us with gratitude. Thank you for trusting us—stories like his are why we do what we do.

This place is mystical. I showed up a broken man with nothing to offer the world and nothing to live for. Now I am a full functioning human full of hope, desire, and a zest for life. Brett, Austin , and Adam are all experts in the realm of recovery and live the active recovery lifestyle daily. They will you meet you where you are and show you how to walk out of the darkness and into the light.

Response from the owner
Gabriel, your transformation is inspiring. From brokenness to living with hope and purpose—that’s the power of active recovery. Brett, Austin, and Adam are honored to have walked beside you. Keep shining light for others still in darkness.

Like so many others, I have struggled with alcoholism throughout my adult life, and was never able to maintain long term sobriety. I had completed several 30 day inpatient programs, as well as multiple detox treatments, but each of these inevitably ended in relapse until I came into Purple. I entered Purple as a broken man and with no idea of what to expect, and that was likely the best thing for me. My lack of expectations and desperation made it considerably easier for me to get out of my own way, and to finally accept the suggestions from the people who had the long term sobriety I so desperately wanted. The staff and alumni guided me on the necessity of building a healthy foundation for my recovery, and helped me to realize that happiness in sobriety is a very real thing. Purple gave me the tools and resources to help me do the work needed to maintain my sobriety, and I will forever be grateful for that. I made amazing friendships with peers and other alumni through my time here, and I am thankful for the opportunity to continue my involvement here.
