About Twin Lakes Recovery Center
Twin Lakes Recovery Center has multiple locations, including its 35 acre residential facility on Highway 11 in Monroe, Georgia. The center is accredited by The Joint Commission. They treat substance use disorder as well as co occurring mental health disorders. They accept all major insurers. Even if your insurance isn’t on their list it’s likely that they accept it. The center offers medical detox services in its inpatient facility. Detox is different for every person depending on the type of substance use and the amount of time you’ve used the substance. You’ll be medically monitored and treated for withdrawal symptoms. The acute phase of detox when you experience the most difficult symptoms usually lasts about 3-7 days. During detox, you’ll have access to the residential treatment program and other support.
The residential program includes experiential therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). You’ll also use the 12 Step program. You’ll have individual and group therapy, meet with a psychiatrist for medication management if necessary, and learn about relapse prevention. If appropriate, you’ll have access to medication assisted treatment (MAT) maintenance.
If you’re a Veteran or First Responder, they have the Tactical Recovery program. It’s a specially designed program to help you through PTSD. The care is trauma informed and they use evidence based practices such as accelerated resolution therapy (ART).
The staff is certified in ART which is an effective therapy for PTSD. ART is a VA-preferred treatment for Veterans. Every client in the inpatient program (whether you’re a Veteran, First Responder, or not) has an ART session within two weeks of beginning treatment. You may have follow-ups as needed.
The facility is on a wooded property and you’ll be able to play volleyball, basketball, badminton, and horseshoes. You’ll have time for walking, meditation, and fishing. There are also two miniature cows on the property that serve as therapy animals.
The Monroe location also has a two day family recovery program. Clients’ families come together with other families to learn about addiction and co occurring disorders. Family members learn how addiction affects more than the person with the substance use disorder. The family program is included in the price of inpatient treatment.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
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
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
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.
Addiction is a family illness. When a family member engages in substance abuse, the entire family or support system is thrown into dysfunction. Addicts clearly suffer from the disease, and there are many loved ones who also suffer from the consequences of addiction. At Twin Lakes Recovery Center, they know that family education, support, and involvement in the treatment process leads to better outcomes for our clients. The Family Recovery Program is a 2 day program, held at their residential facility in Monroe, in which loved ones of clients join other families and receive education about the disease of addiction and co-occurring behavioral health disorders.
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.
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.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
