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.
GETTING HELP WITH SUBSTANCE USE: THE BASICS
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 stay at an outpatient drug rehab program in the state is 12 to 18 weeks, yet programs do offer longer options.

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.
