About Assisted Recovery Center
Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia, Inc. was started in 2000 by Terry Bruce after 12-step programs, alcohol detox, intensive inpatient, and other traditional detox centers failed to help a member of her family recover from alcohol addiction. While searching the internet for other treatments, Ms. Bruce came across the studies by the University of Pennsylvania addictions researcher Joseph Volpicelli MD, PhD. He pioneered Naltrexone's use in treating alcohol addiction, which led to its FDA approval for its use in alcoholism in 1994. Dr. Volpicelli discovered that Naltrexone significantly reduced the cravings for alcohol, which allowed for the person in treatment to focus more on his or her recovery.

Our opiate and alcohol detox programs are as pain free as we can offer using the latest medical technologies. As we would not want to see our husbands, wives, children, and loved ones suffer, we go through great lengths to make our clients equally as comfortable.
Our inpatient programs are not "lock downs." We offer private suites from area hotels which you may come and go as you please. Or, you may have a favorite hotel in Savannah from which you would like to receive our services. This form of lodging increases our clients' level of anonymity concerning treatment. Nothing in your records would reveal anything other than you had a relaxing vacation in beautiful Savannah, Georgia.
While many programs suggest you give up your work and relationships, we encourage them. It simply doesn't make any sense to be forced to give up the positive facets of your life when trying to eliminate the negative ones. So, bring your spouse, bring your family members, bring your dog ...whatever makes you the most comfortable during your path towards sobriety.
And finally, the one part of our philosophy that separate us from most programs is that we put the onus of relapse on ourselves, and not our clients. You came to us for help, and we promise that you will leave our program healthier, happier, and for the better.
If you haven't done so already, call the Assisted Recovery Centers of Georgia and talk to them. I've been to hell and you are absolutely right about it being real. We don't have to be abused by a system that doesn't understand. I made the choice to take advantage of Assisted Recovery and the program they have to offer. I haven't had a drink since Feb. 9th. You can do this too. They really and truly understand and will give you TLC along with the resources you need to find your way back to the life you've been missing. You are not alone. I sought help from clergy, AA, doctors, and family, but ignorance runs rampant among non alcoholics. You don't need any of them to get sober. I did it. You can too. Call Assisted Recovery Centers of Georgia!
