About West Georgia Counseling and Assessment Services
Less than an hour away from the busiest airport in the world, you’ll find Lagrange, Georgia. It’s part of Troup County, home to West Point Lake, a popular spot for fishing and boating, and the historic Hills and Dales Estate, offering a glimpse into Georgia’s past. Since 2000, West Georgia Counseling and Assessment Services (WGCAS) has been helping area families who are experiencing mental health issues, including substance use disorders.
Most referrals for addiction treatment and co-occurring disorders come from the Department of Family & Children’s Services (DFCS), Troup County Juvenile Court, and the Multi-Agency Alliance for Children (MAAC). They accept Medicaid and most private insurance, but they also offer reduced self-pay rates for counseling services. If you’re referred through DFCS, there is no fee for treatment.
Finding Support That Fits Your Journey
Getting started with counseling can feel overwhelming. The truth is, it’s one of the most effective ways to build a strong foundation for recovery. Outpatient treatment at WGCAS offers different types of counseling to meet you where you are.
They have individual counseling sessions to help you work through personal struggles. Group counseling connects you with others who understand what you’re going through. And since addiction doesn’t only affect you, they offer family counseling to help repair relationships and rebuild trust.
You can schedule counseling Monday through Friday but support doesn’t stop there. Counselors are also available after hours and for crisis situations, providing help when you need it most.
Qualified Counselors Who Care
When you start outpatient treatment, you want to know you’re in good hands. Their counselors are licensed professionals. Each counselor is trained in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). They also use other proven methods, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and the Matrix Model for substance use treatment.

Outpatient 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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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.
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.

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 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.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
