What We Offer

Key Programs & Treatment Pathways

Georgia residents coming to American Detox & Treatment can expect a structured and supportive continuum of care:

Detox Program: Medical supervision to manage withdrawal safely, usually lasting up to 10 days, depending on the substance and individual’s medical condition.
Residential/Inpatient Care: After detox (or for those already non-acute), we offer a residential program—typically around 30 days—where clients reside on site and participate in intensive therapeutic work.
Comprehensive Therapy: We use individual and group therapy modalities, trauma-informed work, education, relapse prevention, and discharge and aftercare planning.

Accessibility for Georgia Residents

Many Georgia residents might wonder: “Can I realistically use American Detox & Treatment as an option, given it is in South Carolina?” The answer is yes — there are several ways our center is accessible, and many people do travel for treatment when quality, fit, and outcomes are better than local options.

Admissions Process

Verification of insurance and payment method is required.
A medical pre-screen (by phone) helps determine clinical needs, whether detox or residential placement is appropriate.
If accepted, arrangements are made to save a bed and schedule admission.

Treatment Duration

Georgia residents coming just for detoxing can expect stays of about 7-10 days depending on their medical stability.
If combining detox + residential treatment, the overall stay is typically 37-45 days.

Aftercare & Discharge Support

While the center itself does not have a continuing care program on site, we provide a discharge coordinator who helps clients arrange follow-up care (including for clients returning home to Georgia). This might involve outpatient clinics, local therapy, support groups, or other available services that accept their insurance.

Why Some Georgians Choose an Out-of-State Center

There are several reasons why someone from Georgia might prefer American Detox & Treatment to local drug rehabs in Georgia:

Specialty, Focus, Privacy: For people who want a more immersive environment, with fewer distractions, or more privacy than a local facility might offer.
Trauma-informed & tailored care: Our program features trauma-informed therapies.
Better environment or amenities: For some, amenities, comfortable rooms, private spaces, recreation areas, and a calmer setting help recovery.
Insurance acceptance: If their insurance is accepted and covers out-of-state private detox/residential, it can make financial sense.

What to Expect

Things to Consider / What to Plan For

For Georgia residents considering American Detox & Treatment, it’s wise to plan ahead and consider:

Travel & Accommodation: Depending on where you're coming from in Georgia, transportation (drive/flight), time away from family or work, and lodging before or after treatment.
Insurance details: Verify whether your specific plan will cover services at this facility. Also clarify any out-of-network costs or pre-authorization requirements.
Support after return: Having a plan for outpatient care, local support groups, therapy, or other continued care back home is crucial to maintaining gains made in residential treatment.
Legal and logistical issues: For example, ensuring prescriptions you will need upon return are arranged, bringing clothes or items permitted by the facility, understanding visitation or contact policies, etc.
