 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! You are awesome!

 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.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions We Support

Our team understands that substance use comes with other mental health challenges. At our Atlanta center, we support people dealing with common issues like anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or burnout along with their recovery. For each person, treating these co-occurring conditions can make sobriety and long-term wellness more achievable.

Anxiety

Many people in recovery also deal with anxiety. You may have impulsive thoughts, constant worry, or even panic attacks. These feelings can make it hard to stay sober or feel stable. Our program helps by teaching breathing exercises and other skills to calm anxiety without using drugs or alcohol.

Depression

Depression is another common challenge. A person may feel deep sadness, low energy, or a loss of interest in life. These feelings can erode motivation to stay in recovery. We provide support and routine to help people find hope and rebuild a sense of purpose.

Stress

Chronic stress can push someone toward unhealthy coping. It may lead to anger, fatigue, or trouble sleeping. In our program, people learn healthy ways to respond to stress. This way, stress does not drive them back to substance use.

Burnout

Burnout is a state of extreme mental and physical exhaustion. It commonly affects professionals facing constant pressure or long work hours. Someone with burnout may feel numb, detached, or drained of motivation. We help by teaching balance, stress management, and ways to re-engage with life.

Types of Substance Use Disorders We Treat at Centered Recovery Programs

Centered Recovery Programs treats a wide range of substance use disorders. Our team provides education, therapy, and relapse-prevention strategies tailored to each substance. Below are some of the common substance issues we address:

Alcohol

Alcohol is one of the most common substances we treat. What starts as social drinking can turn into a daily habit that harms health and relationships. We help people stop this cycle, manage withdrawal symptoms, and find healthier ways to relax and cope without alcohol.

Opioids

Opioids include prescription painkillers and heroin. These drugs can cause intense physical dependence, and a person may feel very sick if they quit suddenly. We offer guidance and can coordinate medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help you get off opioids safely.

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines (benzos) are anti-anxiety medications like Xanax or Valium. It can be addictive if used long-term, and stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Our program helps people taper off benzos safely and find other ways to manage anxiety or sleep troubles.

Marijuana

Marijuana is often seen as harmless, but it can become a dependency for some. Daily use can cause low motivation or heightened anxiety. We help people who want to cut back or quit by building coping skills and addressing the reasons behind the habit.

Cocaine

Cocaine is a stimulant that gives a quick rush of energy but leaves a harsh crash. It can strain the heart and mind over time. Our therapists break this cycle and find healthy ways to boost energy and mood without cocaine.

Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine (meth) is a very powerful and addictive stimulant. It can cause major health issues like extreme weight loss or paranoia. Our program helps you manage cravings and start recovery from meth.

Our Treatment Approach for Substance Use Disorder

At our mental health and wellness center, we offer a range of outpatient options. From a full-day Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) to Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and even virtual sessions. We choose the level of care that fits you. Some people need more support each day, while others need just a few sessions to recover.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is our most intensive outpatient level. This level of care requires about 30 hours of group and individual counseling each week. We often recommend PHP after detox or inpatient care. It includes regular medical check-ins and drug tests to keep progress on track.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a step down from PHP. You attend about 9 to 15 hours of group sessions per week across 3 to 5 days. You also have at least one individual therapy session weekly. IOP lets people continue working or studying while getting support.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) uses medications to ease withdrawal and cravings. We offer MAT to control severe withdrawal symptoms.

If appropriate, our team coordinates with medical providers to include medications like Suboxone (for opioids) or Vivitrol (for alcohol). We combine these supports with therapy and education for the best results.

Outpatient Program (OP)

Outpatient Program (OP) is our standard level with the lightest schedule. Many OP clients attend one or two group sessions per week and meet with a therapist as needed. This level works well for those transitioning from IOP or managing milder substance use issues.

Virtual IOP

Virtual IOP offers the same intensive outpatient care through online sessions. People join live group therapy and one-on-one counseling from home using a secure video platform. It is ideal for those who cannot travel to the center or need more scheduling flexibility.

Roswell PHP Program For Mental Health and Addiction Recovery

Relapse Prevention for Mental Health and Substance Use

Staying sober can be difficult, and many people relapse after treatment. Some people expect relapse during recovery. Relapse can be prevented with planning and support. We help clients identify triggers and warning signs early. Planning ahead helps you prepare for cravings and high-risk situations.

In our program, relapse prevention is part of everyday work. Group sessions and 1-on-1 therapy cover skills that reduce relapse risk. People practice coping skills for stress and anxiety, so the urge to use them gets weaker. We also build a support network and strengthen reasons for sobriety. With these tools, you face challenges with more control. We also offer a short-term course focused on relapse-prevention skills to provide additional support.

Therapies We Use for Mental Health and Substance Use Stability

Our team uses a mix of therapies to support mental health stability and lasting sobriety. Each client takes part in group therapy, one-on-one counseling, psychoeducational classes, and mindfulness sessions. We also coordinate psychiatric care for mental health needs and involve family when possible. This well-rounded approach addresses every part of healing and growth.

Group Therapy

Group therapy brings clients together to share experiences and support each other. In a group session, you realize you are not alone with your struggles. You can learn from peers who face similar challenges. Group environments help build social skills and foster a sense of community in recovery.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy provides one-on-one time with a therapist. In this private space, a person can talk openly about personal issues and goals. The therapist helps identify the root causes of substance use and mental health struggles. Together, we develop coping strategies that fit your life and challenges.

Psychoeducational

Our psychoeducational program teaches you about the science of addiction and mental health. In these lessons, you learn how substances affect the brain and body. You can also discover how stress and habits form. Understanding these topics gives clients insight into their behavior and empowers them to change.

Mindfulness-Based Recovery

Mindfulness-based recovery forms the core of our program. You regularly practice meditation, breathing exercises, and mindful awareness techniques.

These practices train people to observe their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Over time, mindfulness reduces stress and automatic reactions. It helps clients respond to cravings and emotions in healthier ways.

Psychiatric Services

We coordinate psychiatric services for clients who need medication support. A psychiatric assessment can determine if medications for anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues might help. Our team works closely with medical providers to monitor each client’s progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Family Therapy

Family therapy brings loved ones into the recovery process. These sessions provide a safe space for family members to share feelings and learn about addiction. With a therapist’s guidance, families practice better communication and rebuild trust. Involving family creates a stronger support system for the client at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mindfulness-based, non-12-step recovery program?

It is a treatment approach that uses mindfulness practices instead of the traditional 12 steps. This kind of program focuses on self-awareness and personal growth.

What is psychoeducation, and why is it important in recovery?

Psychoeducation is education that teaches people about the science of addiction and mental health. It is important because understanding how substance use affects the brain and body helps clients make sense of their habits and motivates positive change.

How do I know if I should start with PHP vs. IOP?

PHP is the best choice if you need the most intensive support (about 30 hours per week) or have just finished detox or inpatient rehab. IOP is suitable if you need support several days a week but still want to keep up with work or family. Our team can assess your situation and recommend the level of care that fits your needs.

Can I switch between in-person and virtual sessions during treatment?

Yes. Centered Recovery Programs offers clients flexibility. You can attend virtual group sessions if you cannot come on-site, and join in-person sessions when you are able. Our team will work with you to accommodate your schedule and make sure you receive consistent care.

What should I expect during intake and early appointments?

During intake, our staff will complete an assessment with you. They will ask about your substance use history, mental health, and goals to create a personalized plan. We make sure you feel comfortable and informed from day one.

Do you accept insurance, and how does verification work?

Yes. Centered Recovery Programs accepts most major insurance plans. Our admissions team will collect your insurance details and quickly verify your benefits. We explain what your plan covers and any costs up front.

What support is available after I complete the program?

After completing treatment, you will have access to aftercare resources. We offer alumni support groups and periodic check-ins to help you stay on track. Many clients continue with occasional therapy sessions or attend weekly alumni meetings. This ongoing support network helps you maintain your progress and stay connected to a sober community.
