Recognizing the Signs of Addiction

Substance use disorders can present differently in each individual, but here are some common signs that professional help may be needed:

• Increased Tolerance: Needing larger amounts of a substance to feel the same effects.
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Experiencing physical or emotional distress when not using (e.g., anxiety, irritability, nausea).
• Loss of Control: Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop using despite wanting to.
• Neglected Responsibilities: Substance use begins to impact work, school, or personal relationships.
• Behavioral Changes: Sudden mood swings, secrecy, or engaging in risky behaviors.

If you or someone you know identifies with these signs, it may be time to consider professional treatment. Our team is standing by to discuss our addiction treatment services and how we can help. 

Understanding Co-Occurring Disorders

Substance abuse often co-exists with conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or personality disorders. When mental health and addiction overlap, it’s known as a co-occurring disorder (or a dual diagnosis).

Our approach to co-occurring disorders:

• Comprehensive Assessment: Upon admission, our medical and psychiatric team conducts a thorough evaluation to identify any underlying mental health conditions.
• Integrated Treatment Plans: Your treatment may combine psychotherapy, medication management, and holistic therapies, ensuring that both addiction and mental health disorders receive attention.
• Ongoing Support: We offer individual, group, and family therapy to educate loved ones and empower you to manage triggers and stressors effectively.

Therapeutic Approaches

We utilize an array of modern and evidence-based therapies to provide support and strategies for those suffering from a mental health condition. Our therapeutic approaches are also bolstered by our additional offerings. 

• Psychotherapy: Our evidence-based methods—such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)—focus on identifying harmful thought patterns, teaching healthy coping strategies, and improving emotional regulation. When appropriate, we also include family therapy sessions to strengthen relationships and enhance communication skills.
• Holistic & Experiential Methods: Art therapy, music therapy, and yoga sessions give you the opportunity to explore new forms of self-expression and mindfulness. We also offer recreational activities that support overall well-being, and innovations like biosound and red light therapy that can help lower stress and promote relaxation.
• Medication Management: Our psychiatrists and nursing staff work collaboratively to determine whether medication may help stabilize symptoms and enhance treatment outcomes. They carefully monitor any prescriptions throughout your stay, adapting dosages as needed to align with your evolving recovery goals.

By blending these elements, we create a dynamic, personalized treatment plan that addresses both addiction and any co-occurring mental health conditions.

What to Expect in Your Treatment Program

• Admission & Assessment: After a thorough review of your medical and mental health history, we discuss any insurance details or payment options. You’ll then meet our clinical team for a complete evaluation, providing the foundation for a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
• Residential Environment: Once admitted, you’ll find a comfortable, home-like setting with 24/7 support. Private and communal spaces allow for both quiet reflection and peer connection. Daily schedules typically include individual counseling, group sessions, and holistic workshops to strengthen physical and emotional health.
• Family Involvement: We recognize that addiction often affects the entire family, so we welcome and encourage loved ones to participate in designated visits and therapy sessions. This inclusive approach helps mend relationships, fosters improved communication, and establishes a supportive network that extends beyond your time here.
• Aftercare & Long-Term Support: As you progress, our team collaborates with you to plan for life after treatment. This may include connecting you with outpatient programs, sober living environments, or local support groups in Sandy Springs and beyond. By prioritizing your next steps early on, we help ensure you leave feeling prepared, informed, and equipped to maintain your recovery.

Each phase of your journey is designed to promote holistic healing and long-term growth, giving you the tools to move forward with confidence and hope.
