When weekly therapy isn’t enough, our PHP offers a more structured daily treatment plan. The program runs four to six hours a day, Monday through Friday, and you go home every evening. Group therapy, individual sessions, skills classes, and medication reviews all happen in one place.

For adults who hold a job or run a household and need more than one appointment a week. IOP meets three to four days a week with morning and evening sessions, and most of the work happens in group therapy alongside one-on-one counseling.

For someone who is fairly steady, perhaps after IOP, our outpatient program offers regular support with more independence. Most people attend two to four times a week, choosing from morning, afternoon, or evening times. 

Our Suboxone treatment is for opioid use, including fentanyl and prescription painkillers. A medical assessment comes first. When Suboxone is right for you, it’s paired with counseling in one of our programs. We don’t offer methadone.

Our aftercare program offers support in the months after treatment ends, when old triggers can return with less structure around you. Aftercare can include ongoing therapy, relapse-prevention planning, and peer support.

Our alcohol treatment program offers support when drinking has become harder to control, even if work and home still look fine from the outside. Counseling sits at the center, with medication to ease cravings when your provider recommends it.

Anxiety, depression, and PTSD often travel with substance use. Our clinic treats both through the same care plan, with medication management from our nurse practitioner when it helps.

Our licensed clinicians offer individual, group, trauma, and family therapy. Groups are kept to 8 to 12 people. Family sessions also offer support and education for loved ones, helping you work on relationships as part of recovery.

We offer outpatient treatment for opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamine, and kratom, plus help with gambling, sex, and video game addiction. Treatment starts with an assessment, so your care plan reflects your needs and can change as you make progress.av

Paying for Care With a Job-Based Plan, Medicaid, or Medicare

In the Scottdale ZIP area, about half of residents have private insurance, and a little over four in ten have Medicaid, Medicare, or another public plan. With different plans covering care in different ways, your insurance card is a useful place to start the first call. 

  • With a plan through work or the marketplace: we verify your benefits before placement and explain your deductible, copays, any visit limits, and whether the plan needs approval before you start.
  • With Medicaid or Medicare: give admissions the plan name on your card. We’ll tell you plainly what we can and can’t bill.
  • Without insurance: ask about self-pay and payment plans.

Fitting Treatment Around Children and Work

More than a third of households in the Scottdale ZIP area have children at home, so school runs and pickups shape what kind of treatment is realistic.

Your clinical assessment helps us understand how much support you need. We then plan the schedule with you. PHP takes most of the weekday, so many parents arrange extra help for a few weeks. IOP and outpatient care take up less of the day. If you want family members involved, family therapy is part of our programs, and you decide what they’re told. 

How To Start

Every program meets at our addiction treatment center in Decatur, on Lawrenceville Highway. Getting started takes three steps: 

  • Call admissions. It’s a confidential conversation about what’s going on, what you use, and your insurance. You don’t need a referral.
  • Complete a clinical assessment. A clinician reviews your substance use, withdrawal risk, mental and physical health, and daily responsibilities to recommend a level of care.
  • Get a start date. If outpatient care fits, we schedule your first day. If withdrawal could be dangerous, we recommend medical detox first and reassess when you’re stable.

Common Questions About Addiction Treatment Near Scottdale, GA

Do I need a referral from a doctor to start treatment?

No. You can call our admissions team yourself to set up a confidential clinical assessment. If you already see a doctor or therapist, you’re welcome to bring their notes or a list of your medications, but neither is required to begin.

Will my primary care doctor be told that I'm in treatment?

Not unless you agree. Federal privacy rules for substance use treatment mean we need your written consent before sharing your records, apart from narrow exceptions the law allows. Many people do choose to let their doctor know, because it helps keep medications safe, and you can limit the consent to exactly what you want shared.

Is RestAura Behavioral Health open on weekends?

Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you’re in danger or someone has overdosed, call 911. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.

What should I bring to the assessment?

Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and a list of the medications you take, with doses. Names and numbers of any doctors or therapists you see are useful too, so we can coordinate care if you sign a consent.

Can a family member call to ask how the programs work?

Yes. Anyone can call to ask about programs, schedules, and how a benefits check works. Without the adult patient’s written consent, our staff can’t confirm that someone is in treatment or discuss their care.
