About Marietta, Georgia

Marietta is a key city within Cobb County, located northwest of Atlanta. It blends a historic downtown with rejuvenated public squares, arts districts, local parks, and family neighborhoods. The city is well known for its cultural assets, like the Marietta Square, the Gone with the Wind museum, and the Northern Cobb Greenway. As one of Metro Atlanta’s principal suburban centers, Marietta is a hub for commerce, community events, and growth.

Because Marietta sits within Cobb County — a county that spans a mix of urban, suburban, and semi-rural zones — its residents experience both the benefits and challenges of living near a major metro area. Access to health care is relatively good, but demand remains high across mental health and addiction support services.

Addiction & Overdose Trends in Marietta

  • According to Cobb & Douglas Public Health, overdose deaths in Cobb County continue to rise — many of which involve fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.
  • The Cobb County Opioid Fatality Review Project notes that in 2018, Cobb had 112 drug-related deaths, of which 82 (approximately 73 %) were opioid-related.
  • In the Opioid Use Disorder Continuum of Care Report, Cobb County’s opioid overdose rate in recent years has climbed along with peer counties in Metro Atlanta.
  • Cobb & Douglas Public Health has partnered with first responders to distribute naloxone kits, fentanyl test strips, and supply overdose reversal tools throughout the county to help reduce fatalities.
  • Marietta itself operates the A.S.S.I.S.T. (Active Substance Support Intervention Solution Team) resource program, and the Cobb Crisis Center offers detox and crisis stabilization services. 

These patterns confirm that Marietta and Cobb County are significantly impacted by the opioid and overdose epidemic, meaning local demand for structured, accessible treatment remains needed!

The Need for IOP in Marietta

Even in a well-resourced suburban county like Cobb, barriers persist: stigma, travel to specialized facilities, scheduling conflicts, and privacy concerns often delay or prevent care entry. An IOP model is especially relevant here because it provides intensive therapeutic support without requiring complete removal from the community and obligations. It allows individuals to stay rooted in their lives while investing in recovery. 

At Centered Recovery, we adopt a mindfulness-based, non-12-step philosophy that emphasizes emotional awareness, therapeutic relationships, and personal growth instead of rigid protocols. We strive to make treatment accessible for Marietta-area clients via scheduling variety, telehealth options, and help with navigating insurance or payment logistics.

What Is Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP)?

IOP is designed to fill the space between full residential treatment and weekly outpatient therapy. It’s beneficial when someone no longer needs round-the-clock supervision but still requires structured, clinically guided support.

  • Weekly time commitment: Usually 9–15+ hours, spread across 3–5 days
  • Therapeutic modalities: A mix of group sessions, individual therapy, psychoeducation, relapse prevention, and skills training (such as mindfulness-based interventions)
  • Home integration: Participants return home or to supportive housing each day
  • Step-down progression: After IOP, many move into standard outpatient care or alumni programs
  • Evidence-based advantages: IOPs are effective when clients stay engaged, receive tailored care, and have accountability
