Residential rehab gives adults a structured setting to work on substance use and recovery while living at the treatment campus. The Recovery Village Atlanta provides residential care in Roswell, Georgia, with medical and behavioral health support. A clinician assesses withdrawal risk, health concerns and the support you need before recommending treatment. Medical detox may come first; partial hospitalization (PHP) and aftercare planning may be considered as needs change. Live south of I-20? See our Stockbridge campus.
Residential treatment means you live at the facility for the duration of your program. A typical day includes:
Our clinical team includes board-certified addiction medicine physicians, licensed professional counselors, registered nurses available around the clock, and behavioral health staff trained in trauma-informed care. The client-to-clinician ratio is kept low so that care stays individual, not institutional.
At The Recovery Village Atlanta in Roswell, residential care means living at the facility during treatment. Alcohol addiction care can include medical detox before residential treatment, followed by partial hospitalization and aftercare planning. Dual diagnosis care is available for co-occurring mental health needs.
The decision to recommend residential treatment should reflect your current needs. Describe how substance use affects your health and daily responsibilities, what happens when you try to stop, and whether you feel able to follow a treatment plan in your current surroundings.
Be specific about prior treatment. Tell the clinician which parts helped and what made it difficult to continue afterward. These details can help the team discuss barriers that need attention during this stay and in aftercare planning.
Withdrawal and residential treatment have different purposes. Medical detox addresses withdrawal when supervision is needed; residential care supports the ongoing work of treating substance use. A team can reassess both needs instead of assuming that a previous admission determines the plan today. SAMHSA’s treatment overview provides context for discussing available supports with a clinician.
Residential rehab is the appropriate level of care when outpatient treatment is not enough to keep someone safe or support a full recovery. The following criteria indicate that residential treatment is likely the right fit:
You do not need to have tried everything else first. If any of the above applies, residential care is worth discussing with our admissions team. There is no obligation when you call.
Ask how the team will review your goals and what information it needs from your existing clinicians. Bring a medication list and describe health problems that could affect treatment. If you want a family member involved, ask how to communicate that preference and what consent is needed.
Request current arrival and belongings instructions from admissions. Avoid relying on a packing list from another facility. Confirm the destination as 11725 Pointe Place, Roswell, GA 30076, and arrange transportation that does not require you to drive while impaired or experiencing withdrawal.
If anxiety, depression or other mental health symptoms affect your substance use, ask about dual-diagnosis care. Describe the symptoms in your own words even if you have never received a diagnosis. The assessment can consider substance use and mental health concerns together.
Call 911 for seizures, severe confusion, trouble breathing or suspected overdose. For suicidal thoughts or an emotional crisis, you can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If there is immediate danger, use 911. Seek prompt medical advice before stopping alcohol or sedatives when dependence is possible.
The Recovery Village Atlanta treats substance use disorders involving alcohol, opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, marijuana, and polysubstance use, with dual diagnosis care available. We also provide integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders, including major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Substance-specific treatment pages:
A transition to PHP depends on a clinical review. Ask which symptoms still need treatment and what will change in the daily schedule. Raising a concern during planning gives the team an opportunity to address it before the transition occurs.
Identify the appointments and recovery supports you intend to use afterward. Write down what to do if cravings increase or substance use resumes. Discuss transportation and responsibilities at home so that the plan fits the circumstances you will return to.
Speak with a Recovery Advocate who can answer your questions and get you the help you need.
Struggling with addiction or mental health challenges can feel overwhelming, but healing is possible. Our compassionate, expert-led team provides the medical care, support, and resources needed to help you or your loved one regain stability and build a healthier, more fulfilling future.

If you struggle with drugs or alcohol, you’re not alone. Read our reviews and learn why The Recovery Village Atlanta may be the right place for your recovery.
The Recovery Village Atlanta in Roswell offers medically supervised detox, residential treatment and a PHP program. For step-down care after residential treatment, our sister facility offers an intensive outpatient program at our Sandy Springs outpatient center. Whatever level of care your situation requires, our clinical team will help you find the right starting point.
Most clients complete their full residential stay in 45 to 75 days, including medical detox, residential and PHP levels of care. When considering 14-day residential rehab, the right length of stay depends on the substance involved, the severity of dependence, co-occurring mental health conditions, and how the person is progressing clinically. Your care team will review length of stay with you throughout treatment rather than treating it as a fixed number from day one.
No. Residential treatment at The Recovery Village Atlanta is voluntary. You can leave against medical advice at any time, though our care team will discuss the clinical risks of doing so before a discharge. Most clients complete the full recommended length of stay because the structure, peer community, and clinical support produce measurably better outcomes than partial stays. If you have concerns about a specific length of commitment, raise them with our admissions team — programs can be adjusted to your circumstances within clinical guidelines.
Yes, many people have started their lifelong recovery journeys with a rehab stay. Rehab cannot “cure” someone of a substance use disorder, but recovery is possible. A successful rehabilitation is measured by improvements in physical and mental health, relationships with loved ones, employment or educational status, legal status, safety, and building longer gaps between relapses.
Insurance may cover some or all rehab costs. Without insurance, The Recovery Village Atlanta can work with patients on private payment options. Our team verifies benefits before you commit and walks you through what costs remain. Call (470) 990-9483.
Read our guide to alcohol detox and rehab costs. Admissions can discuss an individual estimate based on the care you need.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for a serious health condition, which includes substance use disorder treatment. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) also provides protections in many employment contexts. We recommend speaking with your HR department or an employment attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
Treating addiction is the best way to create a better future for your children. While there are no guarantees of child custody, completing rehab and reducing the negative effects of addiction on your life make you more likely to keep your children in your life than continuing substance abuse.
A clinician may recommend residential treatment based on current needs even if you have not completed another program. Your assessment helps establish an appropriate starting point.
No. The need for detox depends on withdrawal risk and your health. Tell the team about recent use and previous symptoms so it can evaluate that need.
Length is individualized. Ask which goals the team will review and how it will discuss your progress and recommendations with you.
Yes. Explain whom you would like involved and what support you want. The team can discuss consent and appropriate communication during treatment.
