Addiction Treatment Programs near Atlanta, GA

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Your story, your strengths, and your needs are unique. Our treatment programs are designed to work together to support your recovery from every angle. They pair with clinical addiction treatment to address cravings, mental health, family dynamics, daily structure, and community. We meet you where you are and help you take the next right step.

If you live in metro Atlanta, The Carter Treatment Center offers flexible, compassionate outpatient addiction treatment close to home.

The right treatment program helps recovery through support and connection. Don’t wait.

A Treatment Approach That Meets You Where You Are

Some people need help stabilizing early recovery. Others need focused support for depression, anxiety, or trauma. Families often need guidance, too. Our programs create a simple path forward. 

Your plan may include one core program or a combination over time. We adjust as your needs change, so you can move from more structure to more independence with steady support.

Our supportive treatment programs include:

Family Program

Addiction affects the whole family, which is why healing works best when loved ones are included. In family sessions, you’ll learn how to support recovery without judgment, set healthy boundaries, and rebuild trust over time. Our team helps everyone understand addiction, communicate more openly, and create a home environment that supports lasting change. When families heal together, recovery becomes stronger for everyone.

Sober Living

Recovery grows in the right environment. Sober living homes offer a structured, substance-free place to live while you work your program. You gain community, accountability, and daily routines. Many people choose sober living while in outpatient care or as a step-down after more intensive treatment.

Veterans Treatment Program

Military service can leave invisible wounds. Our veterans treatment program honors your service and your story. We understand the impact of deployments, injuries, and reintegration. Care is confidential, respectful, and focused on the issues Veterans face most, including PTSD, moral injury, sleep problems, and chronic pain.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication can make early recovery safer and more stable. For certain substance use disorders, evidence-based medications can reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and lower the risk of relapse. We combine medication with counseling and skills-based therapy, so you get whole-person care that supports both body and mind.

Co-Occurring Treatment Program

Many people in recovery also experience depression, anxiety, or trauma. Treating these conditions at the same time as substance use can improve outcomes and help you feel better faster. Our clinicians use trauma-informed, evidence-based therapies that are paced to your comfort and goals.

How These Programs Work Together

Recovery is a journey that proceeds through levels of care. You may start with more support, then step down as you gain confidence. Your level of care could include: 

  • MAT to reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms 
  • Co-occurring care to treat mental health conditions along with substance use disorders 
  • Family programming to strengthen support at home. 
  • Veterans programs provide care tailored to the unique experiences of service members 
  • Sober living can add daily structure while you practice new skills

We coordinate every piece with you, so your care is personal, connected, and transparent.

Treatment By the Numbers: National and Georgia Trends

The need for comprehensive treatment programs continues to grow, both across the U.S. and in Georgia.

  • In 2022, SAMHSA reported that 19.4 percent of people aged 12 or older in the U.S. were estimated to need substance use treatment based on having a substance use disorder or receiving treatment, yet only about 1 in 7 actually received care. 
  • Provisional national data from the CDC showed over 81,800 opioid-involved overdose deaths in 2022, the highest number ever recorded in a single year.
  • In Georgia, the Department of Public Health reports that opioid-involved overdose deaths have been rising since 2010, with sharp increases linked first to prescription opioids, then heroin and fentanyl.

As the data shows, behavioral health needs continue to climb, both across the country and right here in Georgia.
