About Us | Centered Recovery Programs

Centered Recovery Programs provides outpatient addiction and mental health treatment for adults in Roswell, Georgia. Our approach combines mindfulness, psychoeducation, practical recovery skills, and individualized clinical care to help clients better understand their patterns and make meaningful changes in daily life.

We serve adults throughout the North Metro Atlanta area through in-person treatment and offer virtual IOP for eligible Georgia residents. Rather than relying on a single recovery model, Centered Recovery Programs focuses on awareness, personal responsibility, healthy coping, and the practical skills people can continue using beyond formal treatment.

How Centered Recovery Programs Began

Centered Recovery Programs was created around the belief that people deserve treatment that helps them understand themselves rather than define themselves by a diagnosis or past behavior.

Our program emphasizes learning how thoughts, emotions, habits, stress, relationships, and substance use can interact. Clients are encouraged to develop greater awareness of these patterns while practicing healthier ways to respond.

This approach is reflected throughout our curriculum, clinical services, and everyday interactions with clients. You can learn more about our treatment philosophy and the principles that guide our care.

Meet Our Founders

Centered Recovery Programs was founded by Reed and Krista Smith, who have spent more than a decade working within addiction and mental health treatment. Their shared interest in mindfulness, education, and behavioral patterns helped shape the program’s distinctive approach.

Reed Smith

Reed Smith serves as Director of Client Services and is closely involved with clients and families throughout the admissions and treatment experience.

He also teaches groups focused on awareness, mindfulness, and practical recovery concepts. Reed has spoken publicly about addiction treatment, mental health, and mindfulness through podcasts, interviews, and other educational settings.

His role combines client support, education, and helping individuals and families better understand available treatment options.

Krista Smith

Krista Smith serves as CEO of Centered Recovery Programs. She holds a master’s degree in organizational psychology and has additional education in interpersonal neurobiology and neuropsychology.

Krista developed the mindfulness-based curriculum used within the Centered Recovery Programs model. The curriculum draws from research, psychology, behavioral science, mindfulness, and established therapeutic concepts to help clients understand habits, emotions, and behavioral patterns.

She remains involved in the educational side of the program while also overseeing organizational operations.

What Makes Our Approach Different

Centered Recovery Programs does not use a one-size-fits-all recovery model. We recognize that people arrive with different histories, challenges, strengths, responsibilities, and goals.

Our approach emphasizes understanding rather than labeling. Clients learn to recognize patterns connected to substance use, emotional distress, stress, relationships, and daily habits.

Mindfulness is one part of that process. It can help clients notice thoughts, feelings, urges, and behaviors before responding automatically.

Education is equally important. We want clients to understand why certain patterns occur and how they can begin responding differently.

Accountability also remains central to treatment. Compassion does not mean avoiding responsibility. Instead, clients are encouraged to examine their choices honestly while building more effective ways to move forward.

Outpatient Treatment in Roswell, Georgia

Centered Recovery Programs provides structured outpatient care from our Roswell location for adults experiencing substance use concerns and certain co-occurring mental health needs.

Available levels of care include:

Partial Hospitalization Program
Intensive Outpatient Program
Standard outpatient treatment
Individual therapy
Group therapy
Psychiatric support when clinically appropriate
Mindfulness-based education and recovery skills
Relapse prevention and continuing care

Treatment recommendations depend on each person’s clinical needs and professional assessment. Some clients may begin with a more structured level of care and transition to less intensive support as appropriate.

You can review our treatment programs for more information about available levels of care.

Virtual Treatment Options

For eligible adults who cannot regularly attend treatment in Roswell, Centered Recovery Programs offers virtual IOP throughout Georgia.

Virtual treatment can help reduce barriers related to commuting, work responsibilities, family schedules, or distance from the facility. Clients participate in scheduled live sessions and remain actively involved with the treatment team.

Our virtual IOP program follows the same general philosophy of mindfulness, education, personal responsibility, and practical recovery skills.

Virtual treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Eligibility depends on clinical needs, safety, location, and other individual factors.

A Comfortable Environment for Treatment

Our Roswell facility is designed to feel calm, private, and welcoming. The office includes spaces for individual counseling, family conversations, clinical services, and group education.

The setting is intentionally different from an institutional environment. We want clients to have a space where they can focus on treatment while remaining connected to everyday life outside the program.

Our Clinical and Support Team

The people providing care are an important part of the treatment experience. Centered Recovery Programs brings together professionals who share a respectful, individualized, and nonjudgmental approach to recovery.

Our team understands that substance use and mental health concerns can affect people differently. Treatment therefore focuses on the person rather than reducing someone to a diagnosis or label.

Clients are encouraged to ask questions, participate in treatment planning, and develop a clearer understanding of their own recovery process.

Licensed and Accredited Care

Centered Recovery Programs is licensed by the Georgia Department of Community Health and accredited by CARF International.

These organizations establish standards related to quality, safety, organizational practices, and treatment services. Accreditation and licensing provide additional structure for how our programs operate and how care is delivered.

Recognized for Our Mindfulness-Based Approach

Centered Recovery Programs has also received media attention for its mindfulness-based approach to addiction treatment.

U.S. News & World Report included Centered Recovery Programs in an article examining the growing use of mindfulness within addiction treatment.
