This treatment center truly saved my life. I was addicted to meth and heroin and lost everything. I've got over a year sober, thanks in large part to them.
Teen Challenge - Middle Georgia's Men's Center
I graduated from Teen Challenge Middle Georgia six years ago. I feel like saying "I'm clean" is ridiculously inadequate to describe the level of freedom I now live in. I entered the program as a daily intravenous user of opioids and stimulants, yet I left the program addicted to nothing. I also had almost no material possessions, only a pile of student loans and a commitment to do well at whatever God put before me. I now have an awesome, godly wife. I own a successful multi-state business, own a home and other real estate with no debt. I host a weekly bible study in that home, and actively seek to spread the good news of the freedom Jesus Christ offers to every kind of sinner. Do I say this to brag on myself? Heck no, every good thing in my life is from God and it all still belongs to him. I tell you these things to do two things: first, to boast about how God has miraculously transformed my life from misery and needles in my arms, to contentment and joy! Secondly, to give credit to the institution that provided the structure and opportunity to choose the obedience to the Lord that leads to life. I've heard the complaints of those students who wanted to run their own lives, and the whines of family members who could not let go of their codependent role. "Too much work, not enough counseling" or "too much judgment, not enough God." All of these complaints are the excuses of those who are unwilling to see to completion the difficult and often painful task of changing. I've said the same things, I've been one of those people. I feel compassion for them. But I was sickened by the thought that a family might miss an opportunity to see God transform their loved one because of people who are only passionate about being negative. They have the fruit of that heart, while so many others like myself and my family have fruit of a different kind. Life in Christ! No drug addiction, no depression, no worrying about death or prison! My parents didn't just get "the old Justin back" like they thought they wanted. Instead they got a new son, who would be a hard worker, become a good husband, and one who honors God! Is Teen Challenge Middle Georgia perfect? Of course not, the budget is tight, facilities sometimes wanting, staffing is difficult, and it's run by human beings. But God uses it to transform the men who are willing to see it through. And he blesses the families that are willing to say "no son, press though." That is the bottom line. I am in contact with many men who are proof of that, just like myself. You can do it, there is hope for the hopeless!

GA Substance Abuse Facts
In Georgia, thousands of residents suffer from problems with drug and alcohol abuse. A survey conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in 2014-2015 found that in Georgia alone:2
- An estimated 1 million people aged 12 and older reported having used marijuana that year.
- About 143,000 individuals in this same age group reported past-year cocaine use.
- Approximately 12,000 people aged 12 and older reported past-year heroin abuse.
- Alarmingly, about 223,000 people between the ages of 12 and 20 reported past-month alcohol use.
Nearly half a million individuals living in Georgia had an addiction to alcohol in 2015. This represents more than 5% of all Georgia residents and is similar to the national rate of alcohol use disorder.1,2
Luckily, addiction treatment programs are available to help you on the road to recovery. In 2015, more than 25,000 people in Georgia received substance abuse treatment, which was about 4,000 more than in 2011.1 Of those individuals enrolled in rehab 31.4% sought treatment for both drugs and alcohol abuse.1
You don’t have to battle addiction alone. Enrolling in a recovery program can provide you with the foundation you need to begin a happier and healthier life.
Getting Addiction Treatment Help in GA
Before you start searching for an addiction treatment program, it helps to answer some basic questions to narrow down your options. You may want to start by contacting your health insurance provider to learn more about your coverage. You can also learn more about the various therapies and amenities offered and decide which ones appeal to you. Do you want a luxurious, high-end setting, or a rustic escape? Do you want to stay in Georgia, or travel far from home to get away from your daily life? Do you want traditional therapeutic methods, or does a new-age holistic approach appeal to you?
Thinking about what you want and then answering questions like these is a great start toward finding the perfect rehab center for you.
Every substance abuse treatment program is different so it’s important to do your research before making a decision. You can call our hotline at to speak to trained treatment support specialists who can provide you with useful recovery information.
Where Else Can I Find Help in GA?
If you don’t have health insurance coverage or the financial means to pay for a rehab program outright, there are still plenty of ways to get the treatment you need. Many facilities offer repayment plans and even sliding scale fee models, in which patients are charged for services based on their ability to pay.
Some scholarships are available to help low income individuals enter treatment, and some state-funded programs are available completely free of charge. You can also check to see if you qualify for Medicare or Medicaid health insurance coverage in order to receive treatment.
