Southeast Addiction Center – Georgia

Southeast Addiction Center is phenomenal! I first went to Southeast after leaving Atlanta Detox Center. After ADC nearly killed me by overdosing my drug taper protocol I went to Southeast in worse opiate withdrawal than when I first checked into detox. I was seen by the doctor on site the first day I checked into Southeast and he was incredible. He helped make sure I was in a place where I could be focused and active in the groups and meetings. He put me on a taper protocol to keep me from being in full blown withdrawal while trying to participate. He was patient with me, attentive to my needs, and to date has been the only doctor I’ve ever seen minus one other doctor, who listened to me and came up with solutions to my issues that I agreed with. He was such a professional and was open to trying different approaches. If something wasn’t working or I didn’t agree with the call he made, he would present more options. I LOVED him! He didn’t jam his schooling down my throat. He listened and he cared. My counselor was incredible too. She was also so patient and listened to every complaint or problem I had, no matter how big or small, trivial or detrimental. At the time I was there the house and facility staff were kind and respectful, which is a rare gem in the recovery industry. I’ve been through several recovery centers throughout my life, to many to want to admit, and only two have been, in my opinion, professional and honest. Southeast wasn’t after my money. They weren’t just cycling another head. They kept things simple and basic. I believe that is the right approach to dealing with newly sober junkies and drunks. The other clients were supportive and I’d say in the 6 months I spent there by choice, there were 70+% of the clients who were actually trying to recover. The program director was awesome! She worked closely with me to ensure my needs were met and that I could still provide for my family. I was a dual diagnosis client. Although Southeast Addiction is a rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol addiction, they helped me work on my PTSD a ton too. Before I got sober, I was living in a nightmare world. High and drunk everyday, having terrifying nightmares and night terrors nightly, violent outbursts in public. I would find myself waking up strangling my wife and had no idea I was doing it. The PTSD had gotten real bad. So bad I was scared of myself. Every day I would wake up I would be afraid of what I might do or what I might have done without knowing. I wanted to die. Southeast saved my life. They were very cautious when dealing with the horrifying traumas of my past. They didn’t try to help in areas that they didn’t think they could either. If it was something they didn’t think they should try to tackle they would give me direction on who to see about it. They even had aftercare plans ready for when I left. Several different plans which they worked on with me over the last month of my stay. I have 14 months sober now, give it take a few days and owe it all to Southeast and most of all to God. Shout out to Lenn, Jenn, Autumn, Justin, and Nick! Love y’all! Oh I forgot to mention the alumni program. When you graduate you can attend the alumni program. Which is amazing. Not every place has one and my hat is off to those places that do. Fellowship is SUPER important to one’s success. Hope all that helps. I could say a million more reasons why Southeast Addiction should be your choice but it’s already such a long review I may have lost a lot of readers as is. I graduated a year ago or so and things do change. I say that to bring up the point that you still should not just take a review as an answer to your decision. Go see the place for yourself. Ask questions. See if it’s the right fit. What worked for me may not be the same as what you may need. So go check them out and see.

Great staff! Treated with dignity and respect. Very helpful and accommodating to all my needs. And came out a better version of myself.

Southeast is top notch in helping you on the path of recovery. They genuinely care about their clients & want to see you succeed. I was a client there for 90 days & it was a very smooth journey as they helped me get back into day to day society. There is no problem they can't help you get through as long as you are dedicated to putting in the work. The staff is amazing & make you feel like you're not alone in dark times. I highly recommend them if you are seeking recovery.

Absolutely amazing program. The staff genuinely cares about each client that enters their program. Southeast genuinely saved my entire life. I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world: The sober living provided at the program has also been an incredible experience with nice housing and a great structure that leads you back into the world within a controlled environment. The therapists are also incredible, taking their time to get to know their client and figuring out the client’s best care plan for them to succeed. If you are looking for a recovery program, I highly HIGHLY recommend all Southeast programs!

Southeast Addiction is truly incredible. Fentanyl ruined my life and southeast has given me the tools and support to turn my life around. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking for treatment. The sober living is amazing as well. It’s a great place to transition back into the real world while still having structure and community. The staff are incredible people who have your best interest at heart and would do anything to help. I’m very thankful for my time so far at Southeast.
