Alcohol can quietly take over your life — not all at once, but in small, gradual ways. What starts as a way to relax or connect can become something that controls you instead. If you’ve tried to quit or cut back and found it harder than expected, you’re not alone.
At The Carter Treatment Center, we help people throughout the metro Atlanta area find freedom from alcohol addiction and other addiction treatments through evidence-based therapies and holistic healing. Whether you live closer to Alpharetta, Jefferson, or another nearby community, our compassionate team can help you build a healthier, more balanced life.

Alcohol addiction doesn’t always look the same for everyone. Some people maintain a busy career while drinking in secret. Others feel their life slowly slipping out of control. However it shows up, alcohol use disorder is not a moral failure — it’s a medical condition that can be treated with the right support.
Addiction affects both the brain and body, altering your stress response, sleep cycles, and emotional regulation. Over time, alcohol changes how you feel, think, and connect with others. The good news is that these effects are reversible — recovery begins when you reach out for help.
At The Carter Treatment Center, we know recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every person comes to us with a different story — and that story deserves an individualized plan for healing.
Our approach combines clinical therapies that target the root causes of addiction with holistic practices that support emotional and physical balance. Together, they form a powerful path toward lasting recovery.
Your treatment plan may include:
Each component of treatment is delivered with empathy and respect. Whether you’re working one-on-one with a therapist or in a group setting, you’ll be supported by a team that believes in your capacity to heal.
We offer multiple levels of care so you can find the right fit for your lifestyle and recovery goals.
A full-day treatment schedule that includes medical oversight, group therapy, and holistic wellness activities. PHP offers the structure of hospital-level care without requiring an overnight stay.
Flexible day or evening sessions that let you continue working, studying, or caring for family while receiving consistent therapeutic support several days per week.
Step-down care that supports long-term recovery through ongoing therapy, accountability, and relapse prevention planning.
For individuals showing early signs of alcohol misuse, this program focuses on education, counseling, and prevention strategies before the problem progresses.
Alcohol misuse is one of the most common — and most overlooked — public-health challenges in Georgia. Awareness and early treatment can save lives.

These numbers aren’t just statistics — they represent real people and families. Reaching out for help is the first and most important step toward changing the story.
At The Carter Treatment Center, we believe recovery should heal the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. You deserve care that fits your life, honors your individuality, and helps you rediscover purpose.
What sets us apart:
“We don’t just help you stop drinking — we help you create a life that feels worth staying sober for.”
