Comprehensive Substance Abuse Treatment

Addiction is a disease, often interconnected with other mental health issues, and pursuing recovery takes substantial work. At North Georgia Recovery Center, we can promise you that the work is worth it, and it isn’t a journey you have to take alone.

As a substance abuse treatment facility in Kennesaw, Georgia, it’s our goal to provide addiction treatment services that address the complex elements of these conditions. No matter what substance abuse concerns or mental health struggles you’re facing, we’re committed to meeting every one of your needs.

Treatment

Our Areas of Expertise

We provide treatment for a wide array of addictions, as well as related issues, such as anxiety and depression. Our programs are designed to help you work through these challenges and teach you mechanisms for handling all aspects of your addiction.

Alcohol Rehabilitation

The prevalence of alcohol in our everyday society and culture can make abuses difficult to identify. Alcohol abuse can often be disguised as partying or relaxing, and the long-term effects of drinking alcohol are often downplayed.

At North Georgia Recovery Center, we treat alcohol abuse through a few different programs, including:

  • Partial hospitalization program (PHP)

  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP)

  • Alumni program

Throughout treatment, you’ll have an entire team working with you to create an individualized rehabilitation plan and support you throughout the recovery process. We also facilitate family therapy to help strengthen your support system outside of the treatment environment.

Drug Rehabilitation

Drug addiction comes in many different forms, and it affects every facet of someone’s life. Our drug addiction rehabilitation programs help individuals overcome physical dependence, address the underlying causes of addiction, and develop the skills needed for lasting sobriety.

Opiates

Opiate addiction often begins with an innocent pain medication prescription. As it quietly turns into dependence, withdrawal symptoms can keep people trapped long after the original prescription runs out.. Our program combines partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care with individual and family therapy to help people break the cycle safely.

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines, such as anti-anxiety and sleep medications, are prescribed by the millions every year. Dependence can develop despite the legitimacy of the prescription, and stopping abruptly can be dangerous. We build personalized rehabilitation plans that account for the specific drug, dosage history, and any co-occurring conditions.

Stimulants

Stimulant addiction reshapes how the brain produces dopamine, driving users to need more just to feel normal. Left untreated, stimulant abuse can lead to severe consequences. Our PHP and IOP programs specifically address the intense symptoms that come with stimulant withdrawal to help you reclaim your life from this addiction.

Prescription Drugs

Because prescription drug addiction often starts with a doctor’s approval, the gradual growth of dependence can go unnoticed. We build treatment around your specific medication history and needs to address what’s underneath the addiction. If you’re not sure whether your prescription use (or a loved one’s) has become a problem, contact our team and learn what personalized treatment looks like.

Inhalants

Inhalant addiction is rare but especially dangerous, since the products involved are found in homes and grocery stores. The chemicals act on the brain and body quickly, leading to health risks such as seizures, organ damage, and sudden cardiac death. Our inhalant rehab program includes specialized assessments and therapies that address the damage inhalants can cause.

Co-Occurring Disorder Rehab

Mental health is an integral component of drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Addiction and mental health are closely intertwined, which is why we address co-occurring disorders in addition to our addiction treatment services.

We incorporate evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), into your rehabilitation plan to specifically target mental health challenges. You may participate in these therapies in one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist, or in group settings where you can learn alongside peers facing similar challenges.

Get Started With No-Obligation Insurance Verification

The first, and often most intimidating, step to getting treatment is figuring out the logistics. We make it easy to understand your insurance benefits by contacting your provider directly to verify your coverage. That way, you can focus on getting better while we handle the rest.

Insurance verification is free, doesn’t require any commitments, and only takes a few minutes.

This was the best place for me to be.  I went in newly sober and full of anger. I worked the program as well as put all my trust in the Lord! I left a much better version of myself! It has such a great and caring staff!

North 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.

I 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.

I have tried to get clean & sober many times. On my own, and through treatment centers, but this is the first time that i have been introduced to a path to recovery that actually works! I have graduated and have surety and faith in my eternal recovery. Staff is great and always available and they go out of their way for everyone (staff in both clinical & housing) The gratitude I experience for this program can't  be put into words, thank you NGRC.

To effectively treat substance abuse, our approach incorporates a blend of therapy, education, and support. Structured therapies and education are used to help you understand your addiction, its root causes, and the effects it has on you. Then, backed by the support of your peers and our clinical staff, you can establish coping skills that help you avoid the substance in the future.

Detox is a crucial first step for many working to overcome addiction, depending on the severity of your addiction and the last time you used. It involves trained medical professionals gradually reducing your intake of the addictive substance to mitigate withdrawal symptoms. North Georgia Recovery Center exists to support your recovery after detox, facilitating the subsequent stages of treatment that allow you to sustain sobriety long-term.

Depending on your exact needs, your rehabilitation plan may start with enrollment in our partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP). Through these programs, you’ll attend recurring therapy sessions to complete medical treatment without abandoning your everyday life. Treatment methods used in these programs may include individual, group, or family therapies.

Once you complete your treatment, you can participate in our alumni program. During this time, we continue to check in on your progress and discuss your recovery with you. You’ll also stay connected to a community of former patients who can support you throughout your recovery.
