Recovery Care Offered

Detox

Typically the initial stage of treatment for substance use, focusing on medically supervised management of withdrawal symptoms.

Day Treatment

In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.

Intensive Outpatient Program

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.

Outpatient

Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.

Co-Occurring Disorders

Substance use and mental health can occur simultaneously as co-occurring disorders. Treatment for co-occurring disorders involves therapy and other personalized interventions to address both conditions.

When I was completely hopeless and couldn't stop even when I wanted to, I didn't have anywhere to turn. My family didn't know how to help make the pain stop either but the staff at Athens Area Commencement Center did and they did so with love, compassion, and complete understanding. They saw me as a person in pain and not as a problem and helped me rebuild my life from the inside out. Today I am a present mother and have a connection with that same family that was once as hopeless as I was, that I never thought was possible. If you want a way out, this place works miracles and I am one of them.

I was here 4 years ago and ended up having to go to another program I couldn't stand kangaroo skin driving gloves Joe who truly believes he can read minds and obviously knows more than you will ever be capable of learning, on any and every subject. The front desk chick mary to me to hit her up a month after I left and she'd show me a great time. I never did got her up but I've always wondered how good a tone she'd of shown me 😮 and the nurse Chrissie or whatever her name was, enjoys making your feel low, almost as much as kangaroo skin gloves joe. I don't know if this place is still open and I know my lil therapist chick quit because she told me. She was there most decent person there🙄.

Great staff!! Safe recovery. Vitals and mental stability checked daily. If inpatient isn’t for you, I highly recommend this outpatient program.

This place didn't help my son. It was a waste of time. Nice people but not serious enough about recovery.
