Substances We Treat During Medication Assisted Treatment

Centered Recovery Programs helps adults with drug and alcohol concerns through outpatient care. MAT can be part of treatment for opioid or alcohol use if a medical provider recommends it. For other substances, we focus on therapy, mindfulness, and building recovery skills. We also help with relapse prevention and mental health support.

Alcohol

Alcohol dependency can lead to dangerous withdrawal symptoms, such as seizures. Medications for alcohol use disorder can help reduce cravings and support your physical stability in early recovery. Medication support may continue as you move through treatment.

Opioid

Opioid use can involve heroin, fentanyl, or prescription pain pills. MAT for opioid use disorder may include buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone, prescribed by our qualified medical provider. Our outpatient program can also work with outside medication care if it fits your recovery goals.

Stimulant

Stimulant use can affect sleep, energy, appetite, focus, and mood. MAT medication options for stimulant use are limited, so we focus more on therapy, skill work, and relapse prevention. Our team helps you examine patterns, stress, cravings, and daily choices linked to use.

Cocaine

Cocaine use can cause strong cravings and repeated cycles of use. It can affect your sleep, mood, energy, focus, and daily decisions. Some people return to use during stress, social pressure, low mood, or risky routines. Treatment may include counseling, group sessions, mindfulness, and relapse prevention planning. We help you recognize triggers, manage urges, and build safer responses before cravings lead to cocaine use again.

Marijuana

Marijuana use can become difficult to control for some adults. It may affect focus, motivation, sleep, mood, and daily routines. Care can include outpatient therapy, group support, and recovery planning. Our team helps you examine use patterns and develop new responses.

Benzodiazepine

Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be medically serious and should never be managed alone. Medical support may be needed before outpatient treatment starts. A physician should manage the taper or substitution plan. MAT support for benzodiazepine dependency focuses on physical stabilization first.

				As a psychotherapist with 15 years of experience working in and referring to multiple recovery treatment facilities, I had very high expectations for the right recovery program for a loved one. This was the most important referral I would make.  It needed to not only work in offering him a space to find full recovery,  but within that, find himself again without the threat of losing it all the moment he walked out of the doors. This program has done that and exponentially more. From my first phone call with Reed to the witnessing of my loved one’s growth and true recentering, this program has surpassed any other program I’ve come across in my professional career. It’s not a program that just checks the boxes of teaching your typical recovery skills, but a program that will offer you the chances for both learning and experiencing mindfulness in ways that directly shift how your brain responds to the world and your embodied experience in it.. and it happens fast! It’s quite remarkable!



If you’re looking for a recovery program for yourself, a loved one, or a client, don’t second guess this one. Pick up the phone and call Centered. You won’t regret it!

				My experience at Centered has been life-altering to a level far beyond my original expectations. I signed up for the intensive outpatient program hoping to end an addiction and realized almost immediately upon beginning the program that the learning available to me at Centered encompassed so much more than addiction recovery. I could’ve confidently ended my IOP program after 4-5 weeks, fully recovered from my addiction. Here I am, almost 6 months later, still attending multiple group sessions per week. Can’t speak highly enough about Centered, its teachers and staff, and the never-ending insights about the journey of life I continue to realize.

				Centered Recovery Programs offered the flexibility and tailored treatment that plan that set me up for continued peace. The counseling sessions are varied, and incorporated a wholistic approach to healing the self, not managing a disease. I use the tools and lessons gained from my time with Centered every day. I would absolutely recommend Centered to a loved one in need.

				We sent a family member here and had the best experience! Everyone was wonderful, all the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Robert, Krista, and Reed are the best! We liked the nontraditional approach to recovery and the variety of groups, all with a slightly different way of approaching life change. This is different from 12 step programs in that it embraces the whole person and aims to help with changing the way you live, not just focusing on one aspect of a messy life. We are so thankful for this program and the change it created in our family. Thank you to all at Centered Recovery for making our lives better.

				Transformative Experience at Centered Recovery Program I personally attended the Centered Recovery Program nearly two years ago, and I can confidently say that the staff and directors played a significant role in helping me get to where I am today. When I first joined the program, I had taken a year off from college after my freshman year, and I am incredibly grateful to have been introduced to Centered during that time. Today, I’m a junior at a different university and I’ve never felt more at peace, confident, and content—feelings that were very unfamiliar to me before my time at Centered. This program helped me transform my life and mindset, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the experience. Centered Recovery Program comes with my highest recommendation. Its holistic and mindfulness-based approach goes far beyond the standard methods of recovery, offering tools and insights that stay with you long after the program ends. From day one, the staff made me feel safe, supported, and valued. Their genuine care for each person’s journey is evident in everything they do. The group sessions were engaging and meaningful, and the personalized counseling ensured I felt truly seen and heard. I’m almost two years out of the program, and I continue to uncover new insights and thrive in ways I never thought possible, all thanks to my newfound self-awareness this program helped me to see. If you’re searching for a recovery program that prioritizes personal transformation and long-term success, I highly recommend Centered Recovery.

				This place illegally withdrew money from my account after i got discharged from the program, several months later they call me asking about checks. i had no idea what they were talking about because my insurance always pay my bill they never send me checks unless i file a claim. I usually throw away mail that has my insurance name on it because i assume it’s just another bill since i am pregnant i go to a lot of appointments and they send mail like every week and i just started throwing mail away. So they didn’t get paid from my insurance and they took it out my account which is not legal because it should have been sent to collections. i would never recommend anyone here or do business here again.

				Life changing in ways beyond abstinence. A new perspective on life and how to approach problems and life in general. Not twelve step based - but not anti-twelve step either. There is no rehashing of past wrongs in this program…100% positivity. Modern, adaptable, positive, realistic approach to dealing with life. I am seeing real benefits in my life many months after starting Centered. Nice and caring staff. I would recommend this facility to anyone!

				I cannot begin to express the amount of gratitude that I have for Centered Recovery. As a person who has struggled for a number of years with addiction, I have never felt more compassion and love from so many. The staff concerned themselves with my well being on a daily basis. They are my family now and I love them dearly. Many treatment centers appear to be concerned but generally are more about the money than anything else. This is not the case with Centered. I will be forever grateful for them. If you need help and want to be around people who really care about your recovery, then please contact Centered.

				Centered Recovery is a well thought out, professionally run, and highly effective program. They help foster personal connections and growth in their group setting, while also helping each individual learn how to best manage their sobriety. The virtual IOP option makes the treatment more convenient, but does not lessen the effectiveness. Reed, Krista and their team have been an absolute God send to me and my family. I could not recommend this place any more. Ten stars!!

				Centered Recovery has changed my life! After 35 days in a treatment center, my option for sobriety was 90 in 90. I chose another option and am so glad I did! Now, 3 months later, I view my life in a totally different way. Reed, Krista, Robert and the rest of the staff have given me a new way to experience life without the need for alcohol. They have opened up ways to experience my life with joy and awareness Things I haven’t been able to for so many years. I cannot speak for you, but I know my life would not be as wonderful without being CENTERED!

				I was in IOP at centered recovery about a year ago. At the time, I didn’t feel others could feel how I did. I remember when I was discharged, being told to call if I ever needed help. I didn’t think that was a genuine so I buried it away in my memory banks as an automated response. However, to my surprise.. I needed a little guidance, and I remembered that offer over a year ago. And I called. Someone I recognized picked up and we spoke for 25 minutes. I am very thankful for the individuals at Centered for having my back always.

				Centered has changed the way I live life. I have discovered freedom through the mindfulness approach supported by Centered. The environment and staff cultivate warmth and acceptance for all. My journey to recovery had consisted of extensive experience with 12 step programs and traditional IOP’s, but I continued to feel lost. When I met Reed and learned about Centered Recovery, I realized that this experience would be different. Even though I was not sure exactly how, I knew I wanted to change the way I was living. The approach at Centered not only changed my relationship with addiction, but also changed my relationship with life, itself. I highly recommend experiencing Centered for anyone who is looking to lead a healthy, peaceful, wonderful life.

				I have been involved in a couple of different approaches to recovery - I can truly say that Centered's approach has easily been the best and most effective for me. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ideas and teachings I have learned here have been life changing. Unlike other (e.g. 12 step) approaches to recovery that teach the individual to view themselves as an addict, the curriculum that Reed and team have put together focus on the underlying processes and mechanics that are at the root of all addictions. A surprisingly little amount of time is actually spent talking about addiction directly, because the program is more broad and provides clients with a holistic new way of being in the world. Recovery from addiction is a natural secondary effect from this learning, but clients can expect to see meaningful improvements in nearly every aspect of their lives on their path to a life of greater peace and ease. The curriculum draws from numerous sources and is not dogmatic or limited by orthodoxy. Meditation, mindfulness, and a better understanding of one's true "self" stand out as cornerstones of the approach at Centered. I recommend Centered, without caveat, to anyone struggling with addiction, behavioral challenges, or mental health issues.

				Centered Recovery Programs provides a powerful approach to recovery focused around mindfulness, living in the present moment, and exploring the functions of thought and memory. My wife's experience has been nothing short of life-changing. Although we live in Florida, she has been able to attend the program via Zoom. She is greatly benefiting from the unique combination of meditation, breath work, and classes on mindfulness led by Reed, Krista and their team. The program's comprehensive approach, including education on psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, helped my wife develop self-awareness, personal growth, and lasting change. If you're seeking an alternative recovery method that promotes mindfulness and a deeper understanding of oneself, Centered Recovery Programs is highly recommended. Not only has the experience been a benefit to my wife but, one to my world as well.

				I highly recommend Centered Recovery. Their offering is unique and their founders and counselors helped me discover and implement a whole new way of thinking and behaving. The mindful approach is my answer to achieving and sustaining health and balance. I was relieved to find an alternative to the 12-step approach. I know 12-step programs work for many, but after trying several times, I realized it did not align with my core beliefs and values. Grateful to have found like-minded people at Centered, and professionals who can guide me!

				If you are suffering from addiction, depression, anxiety or other problems, and have given up on traditional methods of coping. This is the place for you. You will learn to confront, realize and overcome these issues in a way which will benefit all aspects of your life. It has helped me beyond what I knew was possible. The staff is amazing, considerate and compassionate the therapists are empathetic and caring. The sessions blew my mind, then helped me find it again, in a whole new light. Thank you Centered!

				I loved the Centered approach to group recovery! So warm and welcoming. They leaned towards healing deep trauma as well as practical strategies for staying abstinent from substances. When I attended, I wasn't honestly ready to live a healthy life - they were patient and kind through my slip ups. I later became ready and am now happily sober. While I didn't get there during my time at Centered, I credit the team there with laying the foundation I later built my sobriety upon.

				The ideal place for when nothing else worked or if you’re not sure what will. Having been to AA and more than a couple of therapists, the standardized program for sobriety was not giving me hope to breaking a cycle. Centered Recovery helps me understand not just my own thoughts but those of family, friends, and everyday encounters. The highly trained staff and counselors made me feel welcome. With each session brings clarity, peace, and awareness without even using the word “addiction/addict”. I am very grateful for Reed, Krista, and Dr Holly for their encouragement, bringing me into a program where I feel comfortable and remember that I am a staple member of my family and always have been. Thank you all for everything that you do.

				If you’re serious about changing your life and don’t like the idea of introducing yourself daily as an alcoholic or addict, religious undertones, or having your progress chip taken away, which to me, seems very counterintuitive, this is only the place to turn. Every member of their team absolutely and genuinely cares while taking the approach of mindfulness, meditation and just getting past the stressful thoughts which, in my opinion, are likely the basis for falling into the trap of addiction. My first time around, I was pushed into it with very little success, but when I was truly ready to make a change on my own, I definitely knew where to turn and found 100% success even though the many outside difficulties in my life. I can’t begin to thank them enough for their compassion, philosophy and undying support… pics are from beginning to end of the 12 week program. I’m very proud of physical and mental changes I was able to make.

				Before I am critical of the program I do want to say that they helped save my life and get me into detox and started giving me tools for my recovery, but I needed more than this program had to offer. I went to Centered Recovery 5 years ago and did not stay clean long after. Part of it was because I was not really ready to quit, but part of it was because Centered Recovery made me think I could do it on my own (I cannot do it on my own, history has proven that). I do a 12 step program now and it works for me. I’m not here to preach AA but I am here to say that I think it was wrong for them not to encourage me to try every tool out there and find a system that works for me. I also got the vibe from Centered that if I meditated, my obsessive compulsive thoughts would go away. (They never go away completely, I have an incurable disease that is still present even in sobriety) Meditation is a tool in my tool box now however meditation doesn’t always save my life and I needed to find more tools. Centered should have encouraged me to find more tools and also to reach out to other alcoholics who I could relate to. I’m 4 years clean today but I have only been able to stay clean by doing something for my sobriety every day. I needed to find something for after I graduated and I learned that the hard way. I think it should have been stressed that outpatient is just the start of a long road ahead, there is no graduation if you really have the disease. I am grateful there are options out there besides 12 step groups, but this one wasn’t what I needed at the time. If you are struggling I encourage you to try everything you can until you find what works for you.

				I've had a pretty rocky path to recovery including two separate month + long stints in Inpatient Care. Centered was really the beginning of the end with my relationship with substance abuse. I still had a few relapses in their IOP program but with the staff's help each one was a step closer to reducing the condition's hold on me. They always have my best interest at heart and have gone above and beyond ensuring I have the care I need. It's different than a traditional AA-type program so if you want a more out of the box approach to recovery I highlight recommend them!

				Centered has changed my life. Their mindfulness-based approach has allowed me to tackle my struggles head-on in a manner that enlightened me about who I really am. This has led me to find true inward happiness and live a life free of fear of being haunted by my prior struggles. The integrated approach incorporates a dynamic spectrum of mind, body, spirit, and nutritional elements which have all been critical in my recovery. Through the tools I learned, I now live a conscious life in which my decisions are insightful and I can manage any internal conflict that arises without turning to what I previously thought were solutions to numb the conflict. You ought to try this place and be patient with their approach. At some point, it all makes sense. Reed, Krista and all the amazing staff really cared about my success.

				Awareness of impressions is something I’ve never really looked into. Reed has opened my eyes to that. I never really took into consideration that I wasn’t very aware of my decisions and would just do whatever I was thinking without really thinking about what I was doing. I have learned to try and listen more and talk less. Thoughts are just thoughts. They most definitely make you aware but they can also have an affect on your decisions if not thought threw. Reed has made all of this very viable in my life. Resolution of conflict can be very confusing when you’re a parent. When I tell my children something and they don’t agree, or they say I’m wrong by looking up if my answer is correct or not I would get angry. Reed has taught me to except the fact that I may be wrong and to reset and understand that the correct answer is what is important. It is important enough to look at my children and say thank you, I did not know that and I’m glad to know it now and move on. Before I would get insulted and act foolishly toward my children and make it out to be more than it needed to be. Reed has been able to show me conflict has a resolution. I believe in him and I believe in this program. Much love to my friend and brother in arms, Reed Smith. Thank you.

Common MAT Medications for Addiction Recovery

MAT medication choice depends on the substance, your health, and medical review. Some medications help with opioid use disorder; others help with alcohol use disorder. Our team supports outpatient care while a local doctor or program handles MAT medication.

Buprenorphine

A partial opioid agonist that reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the same high as full opioids. Commonly used in opioid use disorder treatment, it can be prescribed by a medical provider in an outpatient setting.

Methadone

May help people with opioid use disorder through regulated opioid treatment programs. It requires medical oversight and careful dosing. We support therapy, group care, and relapse prevention while your medication care remains with the appropriate medical program.

Naltrexone

Blocks opioid receptors entirely and is used for both opioid and alcohol use disorders. Because it has no opioid activity, there is no dependency risk. It works best for people who have already completed detox and are physically stable.

Acamprosate and Disulfiram

May support alcohol recovery for some adults when a medical provider determines that either medication fits. These medications require follow up and honest reporting about alcohol use, side effects, and goals.

Common MAT Medications for Addiction Recovery

Levels of Care We Offer During Medication Assisted Treatment

Centered Recovery Programs offers different levels of outpatient care, each with its own amount of weekly support. The right level for you depends on your symptoms, schedule, recovery needs, and any other medications you take.

If MAT is part of your treatment, our team will help you find the right fit. PHP, IOP, OP, or Virtual IOP can support your recovery while our medical provider manages your medication.

PHP

PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) provides a higher level of outpatient care during the day. You attend five days per week for six hours each day. We use group therapy and weekly individual therapy in PHP. Medication management and mindfulness‑based care can also support your treatment plan. You go home at night and return for care the next program day.

IOP

IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) offers several hours of programming per week with more flexibility than PHP. It is appropriate for people who have moved past acute withdrawal. At this stage, care can focus on recovery skills and relapse prevention. Behavioral health support continues while MAT remains in place.

OP

Our outpatient program fits adults who need ongoing care at a lower level. Outpatient work may include group care, individual sessions, relapse prevention, and recovery planning. It can follow a higher level of care or be a good fit when symptoms need support with fewer weekly sessions.

Virtual IOP

Virtual IOP gives Georgia residents access to structured treatment from home. You join live therapy through secure video. Our program includes weekly therapy hours, group work, individual therapy, and psychiatric care. You need a device with camera access and a stable internet connection.

MAT Support After Detox or Residential Treatment

Finishing detox or a residential program is a big step. However, the time right after discharge is one of the highest-risk periods for relapse. Physical cravings can return, and daily routines, stress, and triggers can come back quickly. MAT can help manage the medical risks, while structured outpatient care helps you build recovery skills, change behaviors, and prevent relapse.

At Centered Recovery Programs, we support people who are moving from inpatient or residential care to outpatient care. If you’re continuing MAT medication, our Atlanta-area outpatient programs can help you stay on track with your recovery. We’ll help you stay engaged as you rebuild your daily routine and work with your other providers to keep your care coordinated.

Benefits of Medication Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment can help some adults manage cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and the risk of relapse. A medical provider will decide if medication is right for you. MAT supports your medication needs during treatment, while counseling and therapy help address behavior patterns.

Reduces opioid or alcohol cravings for some people
Helps ease withdrawal symptoms
Lowers opioid overdose risk in approved opioid care
Supports stronger treatment engagement
Works alongside therapy and counseling
Helps reduce relapse risk
Adds medical support to recovery planning

Why Choose Centered Recovery Programs for MAT Support

Centered Recovery Programs supports adults who use MAT as part of their recovery. Our team will review your medication status, substance use, and care goals before you join the program. Since MAT needs are different for everyone, we look at your whole care situation.

If medication support is right for you, we can connect you with local doctors or MAT programs. You can attend our outpatient program while another provider manages your medication. Our care includes therapy, group support, mindfulness, and relapse prevention alongside MAT.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MAT a long term commitment or something used short term?

It depends on you and the substance involved. Some people use MAT medications for a few months during early recovery, while others stay on them for years. Your physician will decide the length of time based on your medical history, the substance you’ve used, and your recovery progress. There’s no set rule.

Can I attend Centered Recovery Programs if I am already on a MAT medication?

Yes. We don’t automatically exclude people who are on MAT medications. We look at each situation individually. The most important thing is that you’re actively working toward recovery goals. If you’re using MAT as part of your recovery, we can work with your prescribing doctor through our outpatient programs.

What is the difference between MAT and just taking medication to feel better?

MAT medications are used together with structured behavioral treatment. The goal isn’t to replace one substance with another forever. The medications help with the physical side of dependency, while therapy and recovery programs address the behavioral and psychological parts. Both are needed for this approach to work.

Does insurance cover Medication Assisted Treatment in Atlanta?

Many insurance plans cover both MAT medications and outpatient treatment. Centered Recovery Programs accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and Humana. Contact us directly to check your specific coverage before you start.

Do I need to complete detox before starting MAT?

For some substances, yes. Benzodiazepine and certain opioid dependencies need medical detox before you move to outpatient care. For others, MAT medications can be started earlier. A physician working with our program will review your situation and guide you through the right order of care.

What if I want to eventually stop taking MAT medications?

That’s a reasonable goal, and we support it. We want to see people reach a point where they no longer need long-term medication support, if it’s medically possible. Stopping MAT medications is a gradual process managed by your prescribing physician. Our outpatient program will keep supporting you through that process.
