Alcohol Treatment

Assisted Recovery was the first in the country to offer this alternative to the 12-step program. Our programs center on using medications that blocks the signals to the brain that result in cravings or desires to drink. At the Assisted Recovery Centers of Georgia, we utilize naltrexone (Revia) to reduce cravings, which has been highly effective for long term recovery. Unlike deterrent medications which may make you nauseous, naltrexone simply and safely eliminates the "high" or "buzz" associated with alcohol. In addition, it significantly lessens the physical "need" to drink. Coupled with a personalized cognitive/behavioral program, naltrexone allows the freedom to focus on the emotional and mental facet of addiction.

For individuals who have difficulty maintaining their daily dose of naltrexone now have the option of receiving a monlthy injection of Vivitrol. The time-released formula works the same as the oral naltrexone, and is simply another, more powerful safeguard against relapse.

Therapy

We offer a variety of therapy programs to assist patients with their recovery. These programs are facilitated by licensed therapists. These group sessions are not 12- step based and utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy and cognitive restructuring methods. With the help of the therapist and group members, clients learn how to adjust to life without the use of alcohol or drugs. Clients will also have the opportunity to work individually with a licensed therapist. Based on the needs of the client and the therapist's assessment, these hours may be used for individual or family therapy and are scheduled at the convenience of the client, family, and therapist.
