Levels of Care
When someone arrives at The Recovery Village Atlanta, we begin with an intake assessment to design an individualized treatment program based on their needs. The assessment evaluates past and current drug use and physical and mental health. Most patients start their treatment journey with medical detox. Then as medically appropriate, they may transition to other treatment programs. Levels of care include:
Medical Detox
Detoxification is the body’s way of slowly removing substances from its system. Medical detox provides around-the-clock medical supervision and treatment as clients withdraw from drugs and alcohol to make the process as safe and comfortable as possible.
Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient programs are the most intensive level of care after medical detox. Monitoring is continued, and patients live at the facility full-time with full-day programming, including individual and group therapy, recreational therapies, medical appointments, and support group meetings.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)
This program is transitional for many patients. It’s a step down from intensive inpatient treatment programs with more independence and accountability for patients. Patients have more free time to direct their own recovery as they transition to life after treatment.
Outpatient Rehab and IOP
With more flexibility and accountability for their recovery, participants in these programs live off-site in their own homes or in sober living communities and come to the facility for treatment regularly. They may begin to balance treatment with home, school or family responsibilities.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
The Recovery Village Atlanta offers evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders that co-occur alongside an addiction for a reduced risk of relapse.
Aftercare
Planning for what will happen after treatment begins as soon as someone arrives for treatment at The Recovery Village Atlanta. Aftercare planning creates a relapse prevention plan and prepares recovery resources for the transition out of treatment and back into daily life to set the stage for success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions about treatment at The Recovery Village Atlanta.
Most health insurance policies will partially or completely cover addiction treatment services. The Recovery Village Atlanta accepts most major insurance plans except Medicare and Medicaid. Our team can work with you to verify what your insurance may cover. If services aren’t covered, we can help you locate other facilities that may accept your policy, or we can work together on private pay options.
Since our treatment programs are customized to your individual needs, the treatment length can differ. Factors in how long addiction treatment takes include the program you choose and the severity of your addiction. Most people’s medical detox stays take 3–10 days. Inpatient programs usually last at least 30 days and outpatient programs can last for three months or longer. Aftercare services are an indefinite source of support for your continued recovery.
Certain national laws protect you if you go to rehab, so you don’t have to fear losing your job. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are two such laws. While these protections exist, there are limitations that could mean you don’t qualify. If, for example, you use substances actively while at work in a drug-free workplace, you could lose your job.
For the safety and privacy of all patients, cell phones will be securely stored upon arrival. After a 72-hour stabilization period to focus on your recovery, you may make outside phone calls during specified times each week, at your therapist’s discretion. Loved ones may also visit during family weekends, or they may participate in family therapy with you. Our treatment team may discourage contact with friends or family if they believe it could disrupt your recovery and progress.
