The Recovery Village Atlanta Claimed

About The Recovery Village Atlanta

The Recovery Village Atlanta is a substance use and co occurring disorder treatment center. They have facilities throughout Georgia, including the Atlanta location on Pointe Place in Roswell. They offer medical detox, medication assisted treatment (MAT), residential rehab, partial hospitalization (PHP), and Dual Diagnosis (co occurring disorder) treatment programs.

The detox program at this facility is an inpatient detox. You’ll first be evaluated to determine the best treatment plan. Your treatment plan is based on the types of substances you use, your mental and physical state, and whether you have any co occurring disorders. Co occurring disorders are mental health challenges such as bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.

You’ll detox in a private room where you’ll have 24/7 medical care. You’ll eat nutritious foods that are easy on your digestive system. Medical staff will administer medications to ease any uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. You may be put on MAT to help reduce cravings and make detox easier. MAT is commonly used for opioid withdrawal but it’s also an effective therapy for alcohol withdrawal. An element of MAT treatment is individual and group therapy.

While undergoing detox, you’ll start individual counseling first with a licensed therapist. Getting to the root of your substance use is important. Once you identify the root of your addiction, such as a co-occurring mental health disorder, then it’s easier to learn how to manage the issues that trigger your substance use. The length of detox varies from person to person but a typical detox is between seven and 10 days.

After you’ve detoxed, the treatment team can help you decide on the next step in your treatment. You may stay in the inpatient program or move to one of the outpatient programs. When you’ve finished inpatient or outpatient treatment, there are aftercare programs to help you maintain your sobriety. Relapse is a common component of addiction, and participation in an aftercare program helps reduce relapse. The aftercare program helps connect you to recovery resources and support groups and guides you in a relapse prevention plan.
