They accept clients from adolescents to adults at their two locations, on Clairmont Road in the Brookhaven area and this one on Fayetteville Road near the East Atlanta Village.

Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment

I found that they offer confidential regular outpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs and outpatient detoxification. Their mental health and addiction specialists utilize a mix of psychotherapies, including cognitive behavior therapy and motivational interviewing and have received special training on trauma informed care.

The medical professionals at Chris Counseling Center can prescribe medications such as buprenorphine, naloxone and vivitrol for opioid use disorder to aid in outpatient detox and relapse prevention.
For added convenience, I like that they offer telemedicine/telehealth therapy sessions.
