Specialized Detoxification and Treatment Programs

Recovery begins with medical detox, and Atlanta Detox Center offers medically supervised detoxification programs for a wide array of substances, including alcohol, opiates/opioids (heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers), benzodiazepines, and cocaine.
