Right Side Up Recovery Center for Women and Children

Right Side Up Recovery Center for Women and Children in Atlanta, Georgia specializes in long-term substance use disorder care for mothers with dependent children. The program provides a structured, six-month phased model designed for women and their children under age 13. Right Side Up offers holistic treatment that helps chemically dependent mothers and their families build healthy, substance-free lives together.

Residential Addiction Treatment for Mothers

Right Side Up's core specialty is providing residential drug and alcohol treatment for women with up to two dependent children, including pregnant and postpartum mothers. Clinicians deliver clinically intensive services in apartment-style living environments that combine trauma recovery, relapse prevention and parenting-focused education throughout the six-month program.

Treatment includes individual therapy, psycho-educational groups addressing domestic violence and stress management, and required 12-step meeting participation. The phased community model emphasizes accountability and responsibility guiding residents from stabilization through independent living skills, employment readiness and transition planning.

Family-Centered Recovery

What sets Right Side Up apart is its integrated approach to family recovery. Each child receives an individualized treatment plan through on-site therapeutic childcare, while school-aged children attend local public schools. The program supports the mother-child bond while mothers focus on recovery to ensure families heal together rather than apart.

Right Side Up apartments feature full kitchens and private bedrooms.
