Why Etowah Recovery Center?

At Etowah Recovery Center located in Atlanta, GA, we believe lasting recovery begins by treating the whole person. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions — every client receives care that’s individualized, respectful, and grounded in evidence-based practices.

From day one, we guide you through a path of treatment that is as unique as you are. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, co-occurring mental health concerns, or trauma, our licensed clinicians tailor the treatment modalities to your story and your healing goals.

What Makes Us Different

Holistic & Personalized Therapy

We offer a broad spectrum of therapeutic modalities to support your mental health and addiction recovery journey:

• Individual Therapy — one-on-one counseling to explore underlying issues, set goals, and process change.

• Group Therapy — a safe space to heal together, build peer support, and grow through shared experience.

• Family Therapy — because addiction affects loved ones too, we engage families in healing and communication.

• Trauma Therapy — specialized care aimed at overcoming the scars of past trauma that often fuel addiction.

• Experiential Therapy — healing through action, not just talk. We use creative or activity-based approaches to foster breakthroughs.

• Mindfulness-Based Therapies — to build resilience, reduce stress, and reconnect your mind and body.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) — for reshaping thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in healthier, sustainable ways.

• Motivational Interviewing — client-centered counseling to help you find internal motivation for change.

• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) — when appropriate, we support recovery with medications such as Sublocade or Vivitrol as part of a broader treatment plan.

This comprehensive toolbox equips us to respond to dual diagnosis (when mental health and addiction co-occur), and a wide range of substance-use disorders.

Who We Serve & What We Treat

At Etowah Recovery Center, we welcome individuals facing a variety of behavioral-health and substance-use challenges.

Our programs are designed to help people affected by:

• Alcohol Use Disorder

• Drug Addiction (including stimulants, opioids, fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription opiates, and others)

• Benzodiazepine addiction

• Inhalant or hallucinogen-related substance-use issues

• Co-occurring mental-health disorders such as:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Bipolar Disorder

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Other dual-diagnosis needs

We believe recovery isn’t just about ceasing substance use — it’s about restoring stability, clarity, and opportunity in relationships, career, and daily life. Our mission is to help clients reclaim their lives through structured, therapeutic, and holistic care.

Lasting Recovery Through Continued Care

At Etowah, we don’t consider treatment successful just because a program ends. To maintain lasting sobriety and wellness, we emphasize:

• Aftercare planning

• Alumni and peer-support engagement

• Life-skills building

• Integration of wellness, mindfulness, and community

• Ongoing check-ins through outpatient and alumni services

This continuity helps bridge the transition from structured treatment into everyday life, reducing risk of relapse and reinforcing the tools you’ve gained.
