Alliance Recovery Center - Decatur

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Atlanta is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 1 of the 8 centers near Decatur offers one at all.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Decatur.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Decatur.

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Decatur that can depend on who is rostered that day.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Decatur can mean one group rather than several.

Both get treated together at the programs that do this properly, by one team. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.

Most programs build the family in, and how far they do it is a real difference between two centers. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.
