Healing Atlanta Through Proven Therapies

We understand addiction, and we understand that everyone’s story is different. This demands a personalized treatment approach that yields proven results. At The Carter Treatment Center, we use evidence-based therapies backed by research, including:

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): helps you change negative thoughts and behaviors that fuel addiction

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): teaches emotional regulation and coping skills for stressful moments

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): helps process trauma that may be connected to substance use

Individual therapy: gives you one-on-one support to explore personal challenges and goals

Group therapy: builds connection and accountability with others who understand what you’re going through

The right level of care combined with the right therapeutic approaches and support gives you or a loved one the best chance of breaking the cycle of addiction.
