Our Method for Addiction Treatment
At Thoroughbred Wellness and Recovery, we are designing our programs to meet your unique needs because we understand that no two journeys are exactly alike. Here’s how we’ve tailoring our approach specifically for you:
Personalized Treatment Plans
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we create personalized treatment plans based on your individual experiences, goals, and challenges.
Our team will take the time to listen to your story, understand your specific struggles, and build a plan that truly fits you.
Comprehensive Dual Diagnosis Care
We recognize that addiction often co-occurs with mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, or personality disorders.
Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses both substance use and mental health issues simultaneously, ensuring you receive holistic care that supports lasting recovery.
Flexible Levels of Care
Our outpatient programs offer multiple levels of care—including Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and general outpatient services—allowing us to match the intensity of treatment to your specific situation.
Whether transitioning from inpatient or residential care, balancing recovery with work or family responsibilities, or stepping down from a higher level of care, we have options that fit your lifestyle.
Specialized Therapy Options
We offer many evidence-based therapies tailored to your personal recovery goals and preferences. These include:
- Individual therapy sessions for personalized attention
- Group therapy to build community and support
- Family therapy involves loved ones in your healing process
- Trauma therapies like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and psychodrama can address underlying trauma effectively.
Holistic Healing Modalities
We believe proper recovery involves nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. That’s why we’ve integrated holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, breathwork exercises, art therapy, fitness activities, and experiential therapies into our programs.
These activities help you develop healthy coping skills and resilience while promoting overall wellness.
Equine-Assisted Therapy (Optional)
One unique feature we’re particularly proud of is our equine-assisted therapy program. While optional, this exceptional experience allows you to interact with horses in a therapeutic setting.
Equine therapy can significantly boost confidence, enhance emotional awareness, improve impulse control, and foster empathy and trust-building skills—all essential for sustainable recovery.
Supportive Community Environment
We strive to create an environment where you feel safe being yourself. Our compassionate clinical staff understands the courage it takes to seek help. We meet you exactly where you are in your journey, without judgment, and gently guide you toward meaningful personal growth.
Whether you’re a busy professional or parent balancing responsibilities, a young adult navigating life’s transitions, a veteran or first responder coping with unique stressors, or someone simply looking for supportive community connections, we’re here.

Understanding Inpatient Rehab Treatment Programs in Georgia
Joint Commission-accredited facilities combine clinical excellence with compassionate support, offering a structured environment where clients can focus entirely on healing from addiction and mental health disorders.
Treatment begins with medically supervised detoxification and progresses through intensive therapeutic interventions, ensuring each participant receives the appropriate level of care tailored to their individual needs.
With a strong emphasis on dual diagnosis treatment, our Georgia inpatient rehab program addresses the complex interplay between addiction and conditions like bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and trauma-related mental illnesses.
Comprehensive Care Structure and Clinical Foundations
The inpatient program’s foundation lies in its evidence-based treatment plans, which are meticulously designed by a team of licensed clinicians, psychiatrists, and behavioral health specialists.
Upon admission, clients undergo comprehensive assessments to identify the root causes of substance abuse and mental health challenges, including detailed evaluations of the client’s medical history, psychological profile, and social determinants of health.
This diagnostic precision enables the development of personalized care strategies that may include trauma therapies for PTSD or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation challenges.
Intensive residential treatment typically lasts 25 to 30 days, depending on clinical needs, and includes 24/7 medical monitoring during the initial detox phase.
The program’s phased structure allows clients to transition from stabilization to skill-building. It incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to reframe destructive thought patterns and group therapy sessions to foster peer support.
Family therapy plays a critical role in this process, helping repair relationships damaged by addiction while educating loved ones about the neurobiological aspects of substance use disorders.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Modalities in Inpatient Care
We seek to work with cutting-edge interventions for co-occurring conditions like major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and borderline personality disorder. Under 24/7 medical oversight by clinical staff, this phase utilizes evidence-based protocols aligned with Joint Commission standards to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
Clients transitioning from detox enter residential treatment with personalized treatment plans addressing dual diagnosis needs, such as co-occurring bipolar disorder or personality disorders, through therapies like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The clinical staff utilizes accelerated resolution therapy (ART) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma underlying addiction, particularly in cases involving childhood adversity or combat-related PTSD.
For clients with opioid use disorder, we provide contingency management strategies to reduce cravings and prevent relapse.
Continuum of Care and Aftercare Planning
Recognizing that recovery extends beyond residential treatment, we emphasize seamless transitions to lower levels of care. Discharge planning begins at admission, with case managers coordinating step-down services like partial hospitalization programs (PHP) or intensive outpatient programs (IOP) to ensure continuity of care.
The aftercare includes alumni support with weekly check-in calls and relapse prevention workshops. Clients also get access to outpatient services like DBT skills groups. Family members join monthly education sessions to build stronger home support. They learn how to set healthy boundaries and spot early signs of relapse.
For those needing ongoing mental health care, the program connects them with community providers who specialize in bipolar disorder, personality disorder therapy, and other chronic conditions.

Your Recovery Matters
By addressing the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of substance use disorders through personalized care plans, our program empowers clients to achieve sustainable recovery while rebuilding their lives.
From medically managed detox to comprehensive aftercare support, every aspect of the inpatient experience is designed to cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and the coping skills necessary for long-term wellness.
For individuals and families grappling with the devastating effects of addiction and mental illness, this program offers a scientifically grounded path to unbridled freedom and authentic living.
We’re not just another treatment facility—we’re a community dedicated to helping you reclaim your life with dignity, strength, and hope.
Here at Thoroughbred Wellness and Recovery, you’ll find a place where you’re truly seen, heard, respected, and cared for deeply.
