Career Options in North Georgia
We approach rehabilitation differently than most facilities. Whereas many recovery centers adhere strictly to certain programs and attempt to apply the same approach to all of their patients, North Georgia Recovery Center provides individualized treatment for each patient.
We strive to create lifelong relationships with our patients. The family we form with everyone who enters our facility, and witnessing the progress of our patients, is the most rewarding part of operating this center.

Lowell McKinsterNorth Georgia Recovery Center and Serenity Over Suffering Sober Living didn’t just change my life—they saved it. As a veteran carrying combat trauma, I came in broken and hopeless. And as a seasoned healthcare operator with over 30 years of experience, I know a well-run operation when I see one. This is it. The leadership, clinical care, medical team, and housing are all done with excellence and compassion. From day one, I lived at Serenity Over Suffering, where Brody (then Housing Director, now Executive Director) created a culture of accountability and brotherhood. At NGRC, my therapists Jennifer and Vanay (now Clinical Director) helped me face trauma and co-dependency I had buried for decades. Nurse Practitioner Breonna and Dr. Craig (Medical Director) provided outstanding medical care, while Kristen’s mindfulness groups taught me to slow down, breathe, and live in the present. Today, I’m sober, rebuilding relationships, and even serving as a Group Facilitator at NGRC. The very program that saved me is now the place where I get to give back. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction or trauma, I can say with confidence: North Georgia Recovery Center and Serenity Over Suffering are places where true healing and transformation happen.Posted on Google

Taylor hatcherI had a truly great experience at this sober living. From the moment I arrived, I felt supported and cared for. The staff were incredible—always professional, compassionate, and genuinely committed to helping each of us succeed. It was clear they wanted the best for everyone and took the time to get to know us as individuals, not just residents. The environment was structured in a way that promoted accountability, growth, and connection. I’m grateful for the community, the guidance, and the chance to be in a place that felt like a stepping stone toward a better future. If you’re serious about your recovery and want to be somewhere that truly supports that journey, I highly recommend this place.Posted on Google
