Georgia Rehab Centers

Alcohol and drug addiction affects thousands of residents across this beautiful Peach State. Marijuana is the number one substance abused in Georgia, followed by heroin and cocaine. Addiction can lead to major problems with careers, education, and families, and impacts Georgia communities on the financial and public safety levels.

Substances including marijuana and methamphetamine are produced in many rural and agricultural regions of Georgia, and made easily accessible to local residents. Much of the state’s drug trafficking takes place in Atlanta, since the city’s ethnic diversity makes it easy for foreign drug criminals to blend in. Georgia residents who become addicted to drugs and alcohol are at greater risk for financial and legal problems, as well as serious health problems including coma and death.

Fortunately, Georgia is home to hundreds of rehab centers that can help its residents overcome addiction to nearly any substance. Use Addictions.com to explore Georgia rehab centers, and to learn more about addiction treatments for marijuana, heroin, and cocaine.

Causes & Signs of Drug Abuse

Drug abuse is often caused by factors such as grief, trauma, and mental illness. Addiction is also commonly driven by an unstable home environment, poor family relationships, and drug use among friends and social circles.

Common signs of drug abuse include:

  • Sudden changes in behavior
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Legal problems
  • Financial problems
  • Decline in school or work performance
  • Withdrawing from social activities
  • Drug or alcohol cravings
  • Drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms

Individuals who suffer from drug abuse may also exhibit a range of physical symptoms, depending on the substance being used. For instance, heroin and opioid users may show signs of extreme drowsiness and slow breathing, while cocaine users may have dilated pupils and unusually high energy levels.

Choosing From Many Georgia Rehab Centers

Searching for a Georgia rehab center can be difficult and overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. Follow these tips when choosing a rehab for you or your loved one.

  • Consider location

    Consider seeking outpatient care near your home if you live with caring, supportive family members and also balance work or school. Consider inpatient treatment, or a rehab center located far from home if you want to recover in a quiet, peaceful environment free of distractions and negative influences. Location can make a huge difference in your recovery, based on your unique personal struggle with addiction.

  • Choose the right treatments

    Look for Georgia rehab centers that offer detoxification, counseling, and aftercare programs. Detox helps you overcome physical dependency on substances, while counseling helps you overcome psychological causes of addiction. Aftercare programs consist of 12-step support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, and ongoing education that teaches you how to stay sober for life after rehab.

  • Treat co-occurring disorders

    Co-occurring disorders are mental health disorders that exist at the same time as addiction. Many times, these mental health disorders are the primary cause of addiction, and can only be treated using behavioral counseling and/or medication-assisted treatment. If you suffer from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or bipolar disorder, choose a Georgia rehab center that treats co-occurring disorders.

  • Seek affordable treatment

    Addiction treatment is now affordable for nearly any Georgia resident who suffers from substance abuse. Rehab centers featured on Addictions.com accept most health insurance plans, and offer sliding scale payment systems to serve individuals of all income levels.
