Substance use disorder. Addiction. Whatever name you call it, it slowly takes control of your life. Your physical and mental health can suffer. Your relationships with family and friends can become strained. You might even face problems at work or run into legal trouble. It can all feel overwhelming.
You don’t have to wait to hit rock bottom to seek help. The Carter Treatment Center offers flexible outpatient levels of care for addiction treatment and co-occurring mental health needs. We help people throughout metro Atlanta find a healthier and more stable future.
We work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that uses evidence-based therapies. These therapies help you understand your symptoms, learn new skills, and build a life that supports recovery.
Don’t wait until things are falling apart to seek help. Reach out at the first sign of problems with alcohol or drug use.
Your care at The Carter Treatment Center is shaped by your story. No two people experience addiction in the same way, so no two treatment plans look the same. We offer several levels of outpatient care, and each one uses evidence-based therapies to guide your treatment.
We offer the following therapies:
These therapies help you understand why you use substances, what triggers make things harder, and what steps you can take to regain control. They also support your emotional health, which is a major part of long-term recovery.
An evidence-based therapy is a treatment approach that has been studied by researchers and proven to help people. These therapies are backed by data and supported by organizations like the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and major medical schools.
Evidence-based therapies are used because they work. They help people manage cravings, improve emotional regulation, change harmful thinking patterns, and build healthier habits. They also support recovery from co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, and more.
When you come to The Carter Treatment Center, you won’t receive a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we use these proven therapies to meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be.
Therapies help you build the foundation for recovery. Medications or detox services may support the physical side of addiction, but therapy helps with everything else: your thinking, your habits, your triggers, your daily structure, and your long-term goals.
Therapy gives you tools like:
It also helps you understand what led you to use substances in the first place. Many people struggle with past trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, or chronic stress. Evidence-based therapies help you explore these issues in a safe and supportive environment.
Therapy isn’t about judgment. It’s about support. You deserve care from people who listen, understand, and guide you toward a healthier future. That is exactly what you’ll find here.
Your therapist and clinical team will talk with you to learn about your goals, your challenges, your health history, and what you hope to change. Then they will choose the therapies that best match your needs. The process is collaborative. Your voice matters.
Your plan may include one therapy or a combination of several. As you grow and heal, your plan may change. You might start with one approach and add another as you gain more insight. You might move between group and individual therapy or add EMDR if trauma symptoms come up.
Recovery is not a straight line, and your treatment plan doesn’t need to be either. What matters is that you have the tools and support to keep going.
Our approach supports your mind, body, and relationships. We want you to leave treatment with real skills that help you face daily life with confidence.
With the right therapy, you can:
Therapy is not about being perfect. It’s about becoming healthier, more aware, and more capable of navigating challenges. You don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help.
