Addiction can touch anyone — professionals, parents, students, friends. It doesn’t discriminate, and it rarely fits neatly into a single category. But with the right support, recovery is not only possible — it’s sustainable.
At The Carter Treatment Center, we help individuals and families across the metro Atlanta area find freedom from substance use and rediscover a life filled with purpose and balance. Our treatment programs are designed for the real world — combining evidence-based therapies, holistic healing, and compassionate guidance that meets you where you are.

It’s okay if you’re nervous — we’ll guide you through every step.
Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but when you call The Carter Treatment Center, you’ll connect with someone who truly listens. We’ll take time to understand your situation, explain your options, and help verify your insurance — all with kindness and confidentiality.
You don’t have to face addiction alone — we’ll help you take the first step toward healing.
Addiction is a complex condition that affects the brain’s reward and stress systems — changing how you think, feel, and function. Whether the substance is alcohol, opioids, cocaine, or prescription medication, the underlying issue is the same: a struggle to find relief that slowly becomes dependence.
Our goal is to treat more than symptoms. We help you understand the root causes of addiction — trauma, anxiety, depression, or chronic stress — and give you the tools to rebuild your life on a foundation of health, connection, and hope.
Recovery isn’t about punishment or perfection. It’s about learning to live again — with balance, awareness, and self-compassion.
At The Carter Treatment Center, we offer a continuum of care for substance use disorders that allows clients to progress through treatment at their own pace. Each level blends clinical excellence with holistic support to ensure lasting recovery.
A full-day, structured program offering medical oversight, group therapy, and holistic wellness sessions. PHP provides hospital-level structure without overnight stay — ideal for individuals in early recovery or tapering from substance use.
Flexible, structured care that supports clients returning to work, school, or family life while maintaining intensive therapy multiple times per week.
A step-down level for ongoing therapy, relapse prevention, and accountability as clients transition into independent living.
Preventative education and counseling for individuals at risk of developing addiction or showing early signs of misuse.
Every substance requires its own approach, and our clinicians are experienced in tailoring care to your specific needs.
Our specialized addiction treatment programs include:
Whether your addiction began with a prescription, stress, or long-term use, our team will help you find the right path to healing.
Our treatment philosophy combines evidence-based therapy with holistic practices that nurture the whole person. We address both the physical dependence and the emotional factors that drive addiction.
Your individualized treatment plan may include:
We don’t just help you stop using — we help you understand why and rebuild your life around something stronger.
Substance use continues to impact families across Georgia, but access to treatment is growing — and recovery outcomes are improving.

The length of treatment varies for each person. Some clients begin with our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for several weeks before transitioning to Intensive Outpatient (IOP) or Outpatient care. Your treatment plan is customized around your progress and goals — not a fixed timeline.
While The Carter Treatment Center is an outpatient facility, our team can help coordinate safe and professional detox services through trusted local partners before you transition into our PHP or IOP programs.
