Mount Sinai Wellness Center

Set on a stunning 43-acre patch of forest, Mount Sinai Wellness Center is a luxury addiction rehab center based in Dahlonega, Georgia. They offer treatment for addiction to alcohol, benzodiazepine, heroin and opiates as well as prescription medications, meth, cocaine and other drugs.

Their residential program includes medically managed detox services, medication assisted treatment, talk therapy for individuals and groups, and other supportive practices like equine therapy and yoga.

They have a veterans program designed to meet the unique needs of men and women who have served or are actively serving in the military. They also have a drug-free pain management program for those living with chronic pain and a chemical dependency.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Mount Sinai uses accelerated resolution therapy (ART) for anyone facing a dual diagnosis or trauma. This is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy which involves moving your eyes back and forth while remembering details about a traumatic event.

The method helps remove visceral emotional responses to these memories, replacing them with a sense of steady peace.

Lifestyle Coaching for Well-Rounded Healing

As part of their treatment program, Mount Sinai offers lifestyle coaching. This takes recovery a step beyond maintaining sobriety and aims to shift negative thought patterns keeping you from a healthy life. You might work on finding creative stress management methods or learning how to build a strong support system.

Lifestyle Outlets to Develop Healthy Coping Strategies

One thing I noticed about Mount Sinai’s program is that they help you rediscover joy in healthy, fulfilling activities. They call these “lifestyle outlets” and teach you how they can act as sustainable and safe ways to process emotions and enjoy your life.

Some of the activities are nature based, including horse riding and hiking. Others involve exercise and movement, like yoga and team sports. Mount Sinai’s beautiful and encouraging facility gives you space to explore new hobbies and create a life filled with abundant fun.
