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.

Inpatient / residential

People who have just finished detox often move into inpatient care next, where recovery keeps moving with support close at hand.

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.

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.

Sober living

In Georgia, residents keep ordinary daily routines while outpatient care or meetings happen elsewhere, because this housing is not treatment.
