When people search for drug rehab, they often picture leaving home for a month. For many adults, that isn’t possible, and it isn’t always necessary either.
At our addiction treatment center near Scottdale, we provide drug and alcohol rehabilitation on an outpatient basis. You live at home and come in for PHP, IOP, or outpatient care, depending on what your assessment shows you need. We also treat behavioral addictions involving gambling, sex, and video games.
We treat opioids (including fentanyl and prescription painkillers), cocaine, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, kratom, and other drugs. Each carries different risks. Opioids, especially illicit fentanyl, can cause a fatal overdose, and mixing them with benzodiazepines or alcohol raises the risk.
Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous without medical care, and stimulants can cause sleep, mood, and heart problems. When more than one drug is involved, your clinicians look at how they’re being combined.
The assessment also looks beyond the drug: your physical and mental health, medications, past treatment, and whether home is stable enough for outpatient care. If withdrawal needs medical supervision, we recommend detox first. For opioid use, our Suboxone treatment pairs medication with counseling. When daily structure is needed, our partial hospitalization program runs four to six hours each weekday. If you need less treatment, you can step down to our intensive outpatient program or outpatient program.
Gambling can take hold even when you can see the damage. After a loss, the urge to win it back feels like the way out, and the debts and secrets pile up. The size of the loss doesn’t decide how serious it is; what matters is whether you can stop when you mean to.
Treatment looks at the thoughts and decisions before, during, and after a bet. CBT helps you challenge beliefs about winning back losses or predicting outcomes, and DBT skills help you ride out urges without acting on them. If anxiety, depression, or drinking are part of the pattern, they’re treated in the same plan.
Maybe it happens late at night or whenever you’re alone: a porn site, a hookup app, or a chat that goes on far longer than you meant. A strong sex drive or watching porn doesn’t mean you need treatment. The concern is when you can’t keep the limits you set for yourself, and the behavior leads to secrecy, relationship damage, or distress.
Treatment is private and non-shaming. It focuses on the behaviors that are actually causing problems, not on a set idea of what your sex life should look like. Clinicians also look at whether depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma are tangled up with the behavior.

Playing a lot doesn’t automatically mean addiction. It becomes a problem when you can’t control when you start and stop, and gaming keeps winning out over sleep, work, relationships, and things you used to enjoy. Spending on loot boxes or microtransactions can be part of it too.
Treatment works on the habits and feelings that keep gaming going and on rebuilding what it pushed aside: a regular sleep schedule, meals, exercise, and time with people offline. Progress isn’t measured only in fewer hours played. Our video game addiction treatment is for adults.
These options include Metro Atlanta meetings and online groups you can join from home.
These groups add support between appointments. They don’t replace therapy or the treatment plan you work on with us.
From Glendale Road at North Decatur Road, plan on about 6 minutes to Lawrenceville Highway.

Yes. Many people deal with more than one, such as drinking and gambling, or stimulant use and compulsive sexual behavior. Your assessment looks at everything going on, and one treatment plan addresses them together instead of sending you to separate programs.
The core is similar: CBT, DBT, group work, and relapse prevention. What changes is the focus. Behavioral addiction treatment focuses on urges, routines, and the situations that lead to the behavior, and there’s no withdrawal from a substance to manage medically.
There is currently no FDA-approved medication for stimulant use disorder. Treatment relies on therapy, such as CBT and relapse-prevention work, along with care for sleep, mood, or anxiety problems that often come with stimulant use.
Only with your consent. Many people find it helps to involve a partner at some point, and family therapy can give both of you a structured place to talk about trust.
Pick a calm moment, not right after a loss. Describe what you’ve noticed and how it affects you, without blame or a list of past mistakes. Offer to help them call for an assessment, and set clear limits around money. You can also come to family therapy yourself, even before they’re ready.
