New Day Treatment Center

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Atlanta, 3 offer a bed.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Atlanta, 5.7 miles away.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Atlanta.

Atlanta has 186 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They prescribe 2 medications: methadone and buprenorphine. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Atlanta.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Atlanta that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Whether a program employs its own prescriber is a concrete difference worth asking about early. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.
