About Purple Recovery Center for Men

Purple is a unique rehab center for men in Lawrenceville, Georgia. It’s a residential treatment program, but it’s very different from traditional residential rehab.

This program is based on the philosophy of an Active Recovery Lifestyle. Many rehabs focus only on taking drugs and alcohol out of your life. Purple does this but they also emphasize adding fulfillment and empowerment to your life. They guide you toward finding new healthy ways to satisfy the needs that used to lead you to drugs and alcohol.

This program usually lasts four to six months. It’s all highly personalized to you and what will best serve your recovery. There’s an emphasis on brotherhood along the way too. You’ll learn how to support and receive support from your fellow men, and you’ll build bonds that will strengthen your long term sobriety.

While I was intrigued and encouraged by the whole philosophy of this rehab I also noticed that they take a step down approach. You start with a more intensive program and treatment, but as you get further along in your recovery you take on more and more freedom. This could be a great way to ease back into independent life by the end of your program.

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

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Aftercare groups are included, at no additional cost, as a part of the Residential Program for all clients who successfully complete the Residential Program. This means that they may attend the aftercare group and any other groups they provide for as long as they like as long as they are staying continuously sober.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

young-adult-program thumbnail image
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.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

The family is central at Purple. Their founders are a father-son team whose passions are fueled by their own family recovery experience. Regularly scheduled groups and workshops for the family encourage bold change and growth. Twice monthly, Purple’s family coordinator meets with families, guiding them as they engage in their own recovery journey. These groups are fueled by exploration and hopefulness.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Men and women in Georgia may experience Motivational Interviewing techniques while undergoing individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This approach helps you explore how you feel about drug use and it strengthens your commitment to maintaining treatment. It is particularly useful in the early stages of recovery.

Warning!This place is a cult, over the phone they say you can get a job and your phone back after 1 month, it's a lie. You have to present to get your phone back and or job (after a month). And by present I mean, present to all the other clients, and the clients will decide if you can get privileges. The living conditions are terrible, over the phone when they say "it's like summer camp" thats because it is, but a sober summer camp, and you have to live in a bunkhouse with 20 other guys. People steal around here, it's basically jail but you get to go on pointless active recovery activities which you will regret going on, because they're all mandatory. Cheddar or Austin doesnt know what he's doing.It's a bad place, unsanitary, and just not good, beware of the refund policy, send your son to another place, because I guarantee he wont like it. A heard a report from a guy who had just gotten his electronics back after three months! Three months not 2 not 1, 3. And again the other clients will decide your fate. And there are these weird things called "drops in the bucket" including but not limited to: cry infront of someone, watch the supersize me documentary, and many other strange things. This place is a CULT. DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONE HERE.Also what kind of name is Purple? Like wth, they must have been high when they named it, Purple? seriously, PURPLE, WHY?

What I am going to share about purple is from first hand experience. I was lost in a world full of drugs and alcohol. Purple gave me a slice of peace in a hectic troubled world. I found out I can live without drugs and alcohol as a mask and I can be myself. You won't find community quite like purple. You should expect your life to change after you experience this place. Get out of the stagnant habit that intoxicants have you in and live life to the extreme. Try to imagine a world with unimaginable possibilities and complete acceptance. That is where you will find yourself through sobriety at Purple. It is really a great place. A place that you can start fresh.

I graduated Purple in December of 2021. Since leaving the program I've been able to accomplish more than I thought possible. The most attractive thing about Purple is the sober network you gain while/after attending. Purple allows alumni to connect with current clients, creating a sober fraternity. If you or a loved one is looking for a place that is both active and engaging, then look no further.

Purple truly changed my life and is a great program for men and their families seeking to try out a new way to live. If it wasn't for the staff and the alumni that freely gave their experience, strength, and hope, I don't know where I'd be at today. Forever grateful for this place and the people that helped show me that recovery is possible.

Purple has been absolutely amazing for me. I came here broken, selfish and just a mean person but throughout my stay at purple I have had hundreds of experiences that have made my life better one peace at a time. Today I can say my life is great and I enjoy being around people and doing physical activities which I never thought I would do thank you Bret,Adam,Koins,Matt,Simon and Bj for supporting me through my worst and best. I hope for many more years to come

Treatment centres I tried before teach me a little about my addiction, but not how to live in sobriety. Purple has a living connection with people in sobriety. Purple is very different than the usual rehab. It's more of a life experience that continues on while you live a happy useful life.I currently have almost 9 years of continuous sobriety thanks to purple and the alumni that are all now my friends and family.
