A Journey Toward Renewal and Balance

The Carter Treatment Center serves residents of metro Atlanta by providing comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment. Our levels of care create a continuum that meets you where you are in your treatment and recovery journey. Our experienced staff will assess your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to meet your goals.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Our most structured level of care offers full-day treatment with clinical therapy, recovery education, and daily support. It’s ideal for those stepping down from inpatient care or needing focused help to stabilize and rebuild.

Outpatient Treatment Program

Designed for continued progress and accountability after higher levels of care. Clients meet regularly with counselors and peers to strengthen coping skills and maintain recovery momentum.

Comprehensive Treatment for All Forms of Addiction

Addiction comes in many forms. Each person experiences drugs or alcohol differently, and the path to dependency and addiction treatment is unique for each person. Whether you are struggling with alcohol, drugs, or a combination of substances, we can help. We also understand that mental health and addiction often co-occur. That’s why we offer dual diagnosis treatment to address the complexity of co-occurring disorders simultaneously.

I graduated from the carter treatment center today. I completed the PHP/IOP program and have 195 days sober now. I will be staying for aftercare to continue to work and focus on my recovery. This program gave me the accountability and tools to be successful and live a life without drugs and alcohol. I am very grateful for the opportunity to come here and all the staff that was supportive and were a big part in my journey. If you or a loved one is struggling and needs a program to recover from alcohol or drug addiction i would highly recommend choosing the carter treatment center.

I had a close friend of mine attend this program. She has been struggling with addiction for many years and we have all been so worried about her. She did the PHP and IOP program at The Carter Treatment Center and graduated. We have seen first hand how much this treatment center cares about their patients. They got my friend the help that she needed and I will be forever grateful. If you want a treatment center that truly cares about you or your loved one- CHOOSE CARTER.

I cannot speak highly enough of the dedication and compassion shown by the team at this treatment center. I had to take the time to write such a long review because this place is just truly amazing. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're met with warmth, respect, and a genuine commitment to healing. Unlike many facilities that can feel impersonal or overwhelming, this center offers a safe, supportive environment where people are truly treated with dignity. What stands out most is the personalized care each individual receives. The programs are thoughtfully structured, combining evidence-based practices with emotional, psychological, and spiritual support. Clients are guided through one on one counseling, group therapy, and holistic approaches that help them rebuild their lives from the inside out. Christian is a remarkable part of this team. HIs insight, steadiness, and heart for helping others shine through in everything he does. His presence adds to the overall strength and integrity of the program, helping to foster a space of real trust and growth. This place is more than a rehab facility. It’s a community of hope, transformation, and renewal. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, I truly believe this is one of the rare centers that offers not just treatment, but a path to lasting recovery.

Common Questions About Recovery

At The Carter Treatment Center, we understand that you may have concerns or questions before you begin. We are ready to help you understand and trust the treatment process. Below are some answers to common questions, but if your question is not answered, please reach out to us at (404) 689-9980.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. We work with most major insurance providers to make treatment as accessible and affordable as possible. Our team can verify your coverage and explain your options before you begin care.

The length of treatment varies depending on your needs, goals, and progress. Some people benefit from a few weeks of structured care, while others continue with ongoing outpatient support for several months.

Absolutely. Many clients start with a more structured program—like a partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient program—and gradually step down to outpatient care as they grow stronger in recovery.

We proudly serve the metro Atlanta area with convenient locations in Jefferson and Alpharetta, Georgia. Each center offers the same compassionate care, personalized treatment, and welcoming environment.

Our programs combine evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT with holistic approaches like mindfulness, fitness, and family support to help you heal inside and out.

Recovery doesn’t stop when the program ends. We provide aftercare planning, alumni support, and continued counseling to help you stay connected and confident in your recovery journey.
