About The Extension
The Extension is an alcohol and substance use rehab center for homeless men and women in Marietta, Georgia. The facility provides gender-specific inpatient treatment for clients who are over the age of 24.
They can accommodate a maximum capacity of 57 beds on the men’s campus and 25 beds on the women’s campus. The program duration is nine to twelve months and is divided into three phases.
Firmly rooted in the Matric Model, patients in the initial phase of treatment undergo assessment and learn about issues critical to addiction and relapse. You’ll receive direction and support from a trained counselor and are monitored for drug use.
As they progress through treatment, patients will attend 25-30 weeks of practical life skills training. These training sessions can cover topics such as education on toxic relationships, money management, effective communication, and more. Progress is measured by the administration of pre and post tests for each of the five core components of the curriculum.
In the final stage, you’ll prepare for discharge through education that helps them integrate into daily living. You’ll develop a specific and realistic understanding of relapse warning signs, management is possible, and change is likely. Additionally, a comprehensive aftercare plan is provided.
The Extension may provide addiction treatment services at no cost to qualifying clients. However, if referrals are made to outside providers for recovery support, those facilities may accept most forms of commercial insurance. Speak to your individual provider to confirm your coverage as out of network benefits can vary.

Many programs offer evening, night, and weekend services so that clients may receive treatment on their own schedule. Outpatient treatment modalities typically include addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and/or medication assisted treatment (MAT). Many programs also provide step-down care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient services, to align with clients' evolving needs.
Aftercare Support Aftercare, which is sometimes referred to as continuing care or relapse prevention, is a type of structured care meant to help you continue with the progress you've made after completing an addiction treatment program. Most of the time, you'll continue receiving support after a treatment program by partnering with their case managers and staff to identify and access the resources you need to remain sober.

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).
