Medically Supervised Outpatient Program Atlanta, GA

Who May Need a Medically Supervised Outpatient Program?

Some individuals need closer medical attention during outpatient treatment, as they may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms, managing mental health concerns, or facing higher risks during early recovery.

Our medically supervised outpatient program in Atlanta can help when your care requires more frequent clinical review, while you continue living at home and managing daily responsibilities.

Adults experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal symptoms
People dealing with opioid, stimulant, or polysubstance use
Clients managing anxiety, depression, or related mental health symptoms
Individuals who need medication support during treatment
Those experiencing strong cravings or elevated relapse risk
People stepping down from detox or inpatient care
Clients who need more oversight than basic weekly therapy provides

How Medical Outpatient Treatment Works at Centered Recovery Programs

Centered Recovery Programs begins with an intake process that examines addiction, mental health, and daily functioning together. After this thorough review, our team places you in the outpatient level of care that best supports your recovery and day-to-day stability.

Here is how our medical outpatient treatment process works:

Medical Review: We begin with a comprehensive assessment. Our team examines your substance use history, mental health concerns, symptoms, and current risk factors. This first step helps us determine the level of outpatient care that best fits your condition.
Program Placement: After the review, we place you at the appropriate program level, either PHP, IOP, OP, or Virtual IOP. The goal is to match your care hours and support levels to your current needs.
Treatment Planning: Next, we build your personalized care plan. This may include individual counseling, group therapy, psychoeducation, mindfulness work, yoga, and medication support when indicated. Every component serves a specific purpose tied to your recovery and symptom management.
Ongoing Medical Review: Our team continues monitoring your treatment progress throughout your time in care. We track symptoms, cravings, mood, sleep patterns, and overall response to treatment. When needed, we adjust your care plan to support safer, more effective recovery.
Step-Down Support: As your condition improves, your care may transition to a lower level of support. This helps you maintain treatment continuity while your weekly schedule evolves.

 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.

 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.

Not only is the program content outstanding but the positive attitude of all the staff members is inspirational and cohesive . As an employee I may be biased but I experience the results firsthand / it’s just terrific . Teaching meditation and mindfulness as it relates to addictions is groundbreaking and I truly enjoy the experience and continued great results . Robert

 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.

Medication Support in Outpatient Recovery

Some individuals in outpatient treatment benefit from medication support while working on recovery.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be incorporated when cravings, withdrawal symptoms, or relapse risk make care more medically complex. Medication support is always used as part of a larger treatment plan that also includes therapy, clinical review, and ongoing recovery support.

Medication support can help reduce physical distress and improve day-to-day stability throughout treatment. It may also help people remain engaged in care for alcohol or drug use over longer periods. In outpatient recovery, this added layer of support can make it easier to follow your treatment plan and maintain forward momentum.

Program Options Within Medically Supervised Outpatient Care

Our outpatient care includes several program levels within the same treatment model, as each level is designed for different degrees of symptom burden, medical need, and clinical involvement. The right option depends on your current condition, treatment goals, and the amount of weekly support you require.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP provides the highest level of outpatient support, with 30 hours of care per week spread across five treatment days at six hours per day. Your program includes group therapy, weekly individual therapy, medication management, weekly vital checks, and random drug testing as appropriate.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP provides a high level of care with fewer weekly hours than PHP and is appropriate when you still need frequent treatment, but full-day programming is no longer the best fit. IOP is a core outpatient option within our mindfulness-based, non-12-step model.

Outpatient Program (OP)

OP is a lower-intensity option for people who need ongoing treatment with a lighter weekly schedule. It supports continued recovery work, mental health care, and follow-through after completing a higher level of treatment.

Virtual IOP

Our virtual IOP allows you to participate in outpatient treatment from home while staying connected to ongoing recovery support anywhere in Georgia. You maintain access to structured care, therapy, and clinical contact through a secure remote format. Adults across the state have used this program since 2019.

Substance Use Disorders and Mental Health Conditions We Support

Our outpatient treatment in Atlanta can address multiple concerns simultaneously, as you may be dealing with alcohol use, drug use, anxiety, depression, or a combination of symptoms affecting your daily life. Our program supports recovery care that also addresses mental health, relapse risk, and daily functioning.

Alcohol Use Disorder

Alcohol use can affect sleep, mood, focus, and physical health while making work, family life, and daily decisions harder to manage. In outpatient care, we examine your alcohol use patterns, current symptoms, and the level of support needed throughout treatment.

Drug Use Disorder

Drug use may involve opioids, stimulants, marijuana, benzodiazepines, or multiple substances. Each pattern carries its own risks. Our outpatient program supports treatment when drug use begins affecting your health, judgment, behavior, or stability at home and in the community.

Anxiety and Depression

These often appear alongside substance use, with each condition potentially worsening the other. You may notice low mood, panic, stress, fear, or loss of interest accompanying your alcohol or drug use. We can address all these areas within a single, coordinated care plan.

Cravings, Relapse Risk, and Daily Triggers

Recovery can become more difficult when cravings persist, or daily triggers continue building pressure. Stress, conflict, isolation, old habits, and exposure to substance use can all increase relapse risk. Our outpatient care examines these patterns and helps you develop safer, more effective responses throughout treatment.

Therapies Used in Our Medically Supervised Outpatient Program

Our outpatient program incorporates multiple therapeutic approaches, each supporting a different aspect of your recovery. You may work on substance use, mental health symptoms, stress management, or relapse patterns across the week. Together, these methods support meaningful progress during your time in treatment.

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling provides personal time with a therapist to discuss substance use, stress, relapse patterns, mental health symptoms, and your personal recovery goals. It also creates space to examine what’s changing in your life and what areas still need attention.

Group Therapy

Group therapy brings together people with shared recovery needs in a supportive setting. You learn through discussion, reflection, and clinical guidance while hearing how others manage setbacks, triggers, and daily pressures during recovery.

Psychoeducation

Psychoeducation teaches you how addiction and mental health symptoms affect the brain, body, and behavior. Since with us you learn how cravings build, how symptoms can return, and what warning signs may appear before a setback. This knowledge supports better treatment decisions and greater self-awareness.

Mindfulness-Based Practices

Mindfulness-based work helps you pay closer attention to your thoughts, emotions, and physical responses. It can support improved focus, emotional regulation, and stress management during recovery. In outpatient care, you learn to slow down and respond with greater awareness during difficult moments.

Yoga

Yoga adds movement and body awareness to your treatment experience. It can help with tension, restlessness, and stress that may build during recovery. For many people, it also supports better breathing, improved focus, and a greater sense of control throughout the day.

Our Medically Supervised Outpatient Program

A Non-12 Step, Mindfulness Based Approach to Recovery

At Centered Recovery Programs, recovery does not depend on a 12-step model.

Our program uses mindfulness-based treatment to help you notice thoughts, urges, emotions, and behaviors with greater awareness. This approach supports meaningful change in how you respond to stress, cravings, and daily pressures during outpatient care.

Our team uses a treatment approach that addresses addiction and mental health together, since you don’t need to fit into one specific recovery method for care to work effectively. Our mindfulness practices can help you slow your reactions, build insight, and engage more fully in treatment at every stage of outpatient recovery.

What to Expect During the Outpatient Program

Your weekly schedule for treatment depends on your level of care.

Especially since we build your schedule around your specific program, your symptoms, and your current treatment needs. You can expect regular contact with our team, a consistent treatment routine, and ongoing review as care progresses.

We start with a schedule based on your determined level of care
You attend treatment during the week and return home after each session
Our team continuously monitors your progress as care moves forward
You participate in therapy, group work, and mindfulness-based treatment
We regularly review symptoms affecting your recovery and daily function
Drug testing may be included as part of your program
Your care plan may adjust if your needs change over time

Why People in Atlanta Choose Centered Recovery Programs

People in Atlanta choose Centered Recovery Programs for outpatient care that addresses both addiction and mental health in one integrated setting. We use a mindfulness-based, non-12-step approach and offer multiple levels of care, including PHP, IOP, OP, and Virtual IOP.

We also provide private, confidential care with medical support and virtual treatment options across Georgia, since our program serves adults who need treatment that fits around work, family, and daily responsibilities while maintaining consistent connection to clinical care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a person stay in outpatient treatment?

Length of stay depends on your symptoms, recovery progress, and current level of care. Many people begin in a higher-support program and transition to a lower level as treatment continues, and stability improves.

Can outpatient treatment help after a relapse?

Yes, outpatient care can be appropriate after a return to use when you still need treatment and clinical oversight. The next step depends on your current symptoms, safety concerns, and how much weekly support you require.

Do I need a substance abuse diagnosis before I call?

No, you’re welcome to reach out even if you’re still trying to understand what’s happening. A clinical review can help determine whether alcohol use, drug use, mental health symptoms, or a combination of concerns may benefit from treatment.

Can I join the program if I also take prescribed medication for mental health?

Yes, many people enter treatment while already taking medication for anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, or related concerns. Our clinical team can review your current medications, symptoms, and treatment needs during the intake process.

Is outpatient care only for severe addiction cases?

Not at all. Outpatient treatment can support a wide range of needs. People seek care for rising alcohol use, repeated drug use, relapse risk, emotional symptoms, or ongoing difficulty with daily function. The right level of care depends on your current condition and support needs.

What should I prepare before my first call or intake?

It’s helpful to have basic information about your substance use, mental health symptoms, current medications, past treatment experiences, and weekly schedules. You don’t need to have every answer ready; the first conversation is designed to help determine which level of care best fits your needs.
