About Atlanta Specialized Care Counseling Services

Atlanta Specialized Care in suburban Dunwoody, Atlanta, Georgia is a center specializing in therapy and counseling. The therapists here offer compassionate care to clients of all ages, including couples and families.

Addiction treatment at this center focuses heavily on therapy, with styles like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) employed in individual sessions to help clients recognize their behavioral patterns and address the underlying thoughts and emotions that cause them to turn to substance misuse. They can learn to understand their addictive patterns better, identify their triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. This way, they can reduce cravings, and in turn get better at abstaining totally from substance use.

Alongside CBT, the team supports clients using medication assisted treatment (MAT). The medicines used as part of MAT are chosen for their ability to help clients manage withdrawal symptoms, further reduce cravings, and lessen their risk of relapse. Some of these medications work by blocking opioid receptors in clients’ brains, reducing the effect of the drugs, while also reducing the rewarding sensations associated with them. Others produce an unpleasant reaction when consumed with alcohol, creating a kind of aversion therapy.

There are also other forms of therapy, including counseling in groups or with individuals. They have an open floor plan and comfy, home-like decor that encourages fellowship. If you’re able to make an outdoor excursion, Vernon Oaks Park isn’t too far away to exercise and unwind in the outdoors.

The team also supports clients by creating tailored treatment plans that address their unique needs and preferences, for optimal treatment results that can help them kick their addiction once and for all.
