The staff is a mixed bag. Many of the counselors have the residents best interestHowever, there are several staff members who are there without the proper training that is necessary for this type of facility. Everyone has his/her interpretation of policies and are executed in as many ways as they have residents. There is no apparent Standard Operating Procedures Manual(SOP). Each Counselor/Staff member (Assistant Director) included gives guidance that changes like the wind. Attitudes are very negative in many instances toward residents. I'm not seeing the Christian ethics that this organization was supposedly founded on.
Alright
I have been with this facility for over 2 years and we could sit and talk about the people that are there just for a paycheck but those are not the ones that deserve the talk. In the midst of those ones there is a few that has helped me the whole way accomplish every goal that I had set for myself and then some. Ms. Johnson she has went above and beyond to help me. To treat me like a human being not a convict. Always willing to help when needed and listen when I talk. She has been very encouraging making the program a much better place to be. Mr. Thomas has always been just a call or email away listening to what I need and helping me get where I need to be. Ms.Jordan helping me during the worst part of my transition and Ms. LeSaine she is caring compassionate encouraging willing to help in any way. The program is what you make it. No they are not going to do it for you. You have got to get out there and fight for what you want. If you re willing to fight those few are willing to stand beside you.

Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
A quality drug rehab in Georgia can help you overcome addiction. This environment is designed to help you address the complex issues contributing to drug dependence. The goal of treatment is to give you the tools you need to make a full recovery.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
