  • Access counseling options through Addicted.org or contact 2-1-1 Georgia.
  • Find an activity—experience Georgia’s history and heritage, arts, music, shopping, spas, events, and festivals.
  • Avoid risky situations that lead to relapse. Alcohol and marijuana use are common and increase the chance of relapse.

TIPS: If you want to help someone

  • Find local help through the Georgia Department of Public Health and Addicted.org.
  • Be aware of overdose risks—numerous resources are offered through Georgia Overdose Prevention.
  • Substance use disorder screening is a vital tool and is provided through local behavioral health resources.

Finding the Best Drug Rehab in Georgia

When searching for a drug rehab in Georgia, there are many things to consider. Two important aspects of choosing a facility are the quality of care and the location of the treatment center.

Quality of care

Not all drug rehabs in Georgia are the same, and like any service, some places provide a higher quality of care than others. Always try to do some research on a facility before having your loved one admitted into treatment.

Here are some things to check to determine if a drug rehab program provides a high level of care:

  • Accreditation Status – The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Organizations and the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehab Facilities have strict guidelines for inclusion. You can check to see if JCAHO or CARF accredits a facility; if they do, it is a good indicator that they provide high-quality care. It would be best if you did not consider these accreditations a deal-breaker but a bonus. Still, you should always ensure the state licenses these treatment centers in Georgia.
  • Certifications & Licensed Staff -The clinical staff working at the drug rehab center should have proper credentials, memberships, or certifications for treating substance use disorders. Generally, the information is easily found on the facility’s website. Admissions counselors should also have this information readily available.
  • Reputation or Reviews – Reputations or reviews of the facility are often easily found online or by speaking with a healthcare professional familiar with substance use treatment, such as a family doctor. Be sure to look at the whole picture and not let one bad review determine your viewpoint on the center’s quality.
  • Addiction Treatment Types Offered – Look for well-rounded approaches. The twelve-step methodology is excellent but not a perfect fit for everyone. The program should offer individual or group counseling, perhaps tailored programs, and focus on some aspect of physical health.

Choosing the best location

One aspect of choosing a drug rehab often overlooked is where an individual decides to get treatment. It is essential to understand that anyone with a severe substance use problem would likely have a network of individuals from whom they could access their drug. They might also have friends or significant others who may not support them in going to treatment. These people may even help them leave if called. It is vital to make sure someone receiving treatment is not in an area where they have unhealthy social connections.

Consider the following:

  • If you or your loved one lives in Atlanta or any area of the metro region, look at programs in Augusta, Columbus, or Savannah.
  • In contrast, consider programs in the Atlanta Metro area if you or your loved one lives south of the Piedmont Region.
  • If possible, going out of state for treatment can ensure that your loved one is not close to people who may hurt their recovery.

Georgia Long-Term Rehab

The professional opinion of Addicted.org is that long-term substance use treatment has proven to be the most effective for recovery and sobriety—here are some reasons why:

  • Long-term programs help you develop lasting sober relationships and a solid, sober network. Spending a lengthy time in one place means you will meet other sober like-minded people.
  • Residential long-term programs focus on structure, routine, and habit. Maintaining sobriety during the early weeks of recovery means a solid routine and structure. This is appropriately established during a 60 or 90-day stay at a treatment center.
  • Long-term programs provide more time to attend to your multiple needs, not just substance use. Well-rounded treatment involves helping you with medical, physical, social, vocational, or even legal problems.
  • Multiple treatment methodologies are utilized. Because programs may last 30 to 90 days or longer, there is more opportunity to incorporate traditional and non-traditional therapy approaches.
  • 24/7 medical support—residential long-term treatment centers in Georgia generally provide access to onsite medical care and support.

Finding the right help is essential to your treatment and recovery. Addicted.org and its qualified professionals help you narrow the search. Regardless of your situation financially or your addiction, there are resources available.

What Makes Drug Rehab Residential or Inpatient in Georgia?

Residential, by definition, refers to a residence where an individual resides. A resident is where an individual who lives short-term or long-term.

Within Georgia, the term inpatient is not necessarily utilized. Any treatment center licensed by the Georgia Department of Community Health is classified as a Drug Abuse Treatment and Education Program.

  • The average cost for one individual enrolled in a Georgia residential drug and alcohol rehab is $55,000. Generally, this cost is associated with long-term private treatment and can change depending on location, amenities, length of time, and if they accept health insurance.
  • The average cost for outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Georgia is $1,700, yet this price can increase with longer programs.

  • Additionally, there is free and low-cost drug and alcohol rehab in Georgia for those who qualify.

The length of time spent at a drug rehab in Georgia depends on individual needs and the type of treatment. For example:

  • Most inpatient drug rehab programs in Georgia last between 28 to 60 days, but there are long-term programs that can last 3 months or longer.
  • The average stay at an outpatient drug rehab program in the state is 12 to 18 weeks, yet programs do offer longer options.
  • The average stay at a clinical drug and alcohol detox program is seven days, yet medical detox takes longer.

The most used drugs in Georgia, based on treatment admissions, are amphetamine and marijuana.

Paying for Treatment in Georgia

The cost of treatment in Georgia can impact an individual’s decision; ultimately, the program they choose is based on what they can afford. Luckily, Georgia has many different payment options available for those looking to recover from addiction. There are also insurance plans that can help cover the cost.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Georgia

Medicaid is one option for those who cannot afford private health insurance or aren’t provided it by an employer. Enrollment in Medicaid depends on meeting criteria and proving financial hardship. Generally, the less income a person makes, the greater their chances of being approved for Medicaid coverage.

Unfortunately, Georgia has not accepted federal funding to expand Medicaid programs, which may make it difficult to get a Medicaid insurance plan. Currently, only six states have lower income limits to be eligible for Medicaid.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in Georgia

Those who have private health insurance can find help in numerous programs in the state. This can allow them to access privately-funded rehabs that provide top-level care and often don’t have waiting lists.

In Georgia, those who don’t qualify for Medicaid and don’t have private insurance may utilize the state’s exchange program, which subsidizes policies through participating insurers. Georgia residents can apply for these programs through the federal insurance marketplace, Healthcare.gov.

The following insurers are available through Georgia’s exchange program for 2023:

  • Alliant
  • Ambetter from Peach State Health Plan (Centene)
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield Healthcare Plan of Georgia
  • Kaiser
  • Oscar
  • CareSource
  • Friday Health Plans
  • Aetna/CVS
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • Cigna

Paying for Treatment when Uninsured

When treatment is needed, there isn’t always time to find an insurance policy if the patient is uninsured. And often, privacy policies will not cover preexisting conditions like substance use for the first year of enrollment. So, patients are often forced to pay with cash or go without treatment.

But thankfully, some facilities are willing to work with patients and may provide sliding-scale payment options. This means that the less money a person makes, the less they are charged for treatment. Some facilities may accept payment rather than the entire program cost upfront.

You can contact one of our treatment specialists or a center directly for more information on how to pay for treatment.

Addicted.org's Evaluation of Georgia Drug Rehabs

In Georgia, there are excellent quality care options for substance use treatment provided by the state within the private sector. However, the biggest pitfall is access to affordable services, even with Medicaid.

The state of Georgia offers numerous outpatient drug rehab facilities but is limited when it comes to residential and detox options. Medicaid is accepted, but there is the unfortunate reality of wait times. We recommend contacting multiple facilities and placing a name on the waitlist. In addition, contact your Medicaid office or health insurance provider to know exactly what treatment options are covered.

On a positive note, almost half of the substance use treatment providers offer a sliding fee scale for payment. In addition, some programs offer no charge or minimal payment for clients who cannot pay. However, there is generally a specific criterion that must be met, or a person must be from a particular demographic of drug users.

State and Local Resources in Georgia

  • The Georgia Department of Community Affairs is a state agency that helps build strong, vibrant communities. Mental health and addiction resources include the Georgia Overdose Prevention Project, overdose prevention and support resources, local detox programs, and suicide prevention.
  • The Addiction Alliance of Georgia provides treatment programs that are patient-centered and personalized to addiction. In addition, there are recovery services and addiction research. The organization uses the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation programs and works with Emory Healthcare.
  • Substance abuse prevention and education resources are provided through the Georgia Department of Education. This includes opioid addiction prevention, treatment resources, and drug education and prevention.

He spent his career working under the board-certified Addictionologist Dr. Rohit Adi. His experience includes working with families during their loved one’s stay in treatment, helping those with substance abuse issues find treatment, and teaching life skills to patients in a recovery atmosphere. Though he has worked in many different areas of rehabilitation, the majority of his time was spent working one on one with patients who were actively withdrawing from drugs. Withdrawal and the fear of going through it is one biggest reason why an addict continues to use and can be the most difficult part of the rehabilitation process. His experience in the withdrawal atmosphere has taught him that regardless of what approach a person takes to get off drugs, there are always mental and emotional obstacles that need to be overcome. He believes having someone there to help a person through these obstacles can make all the difference during the withdrawal process.

Dr. Rohit S. Adi is certified in addiction medicine, through examination, by the American Board of Addiction Medicine. While in Louisiana, he worked as an emergency-room physician at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette, Louisiana, but then transferred to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, where he works to this day. Holding numerous positions throughout his medical career, Dr. Adi has seen the devastating effects caused by drugs and alcohol. Having the ability to do something about the problem, he co-founded a holistic drug rehabilitation center in Louisiana, where he serves as the facility’s Medical Director.
