Levels of care
- Detox
- Detox may happen in an inpatient setting or on an outpatient schedule, depending on what the person needs. Both kinds of care can be found around Georgia.
- Outpatient
- Work shifts, classes, and family routines stay on the calendar around outpatient sessions. People keep sleeping at home and stay present for the rest of daily life.
- Aftercare support
- For someone who has finished treatment, aftercare is the support that continues afterward, while new habits and routines are still forming.
- Co-occurring disorders
- Dual diagnosis care keeps both conditions in view throughout the whole course of treatment. Leaving one untreated raises the chance the other pulls recovery back over time.
