For an individual with an addiction problem in Georgia, attending the correct type of drug treatment program tailor made to suit his or her specific needs can make the difference in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. It will help return the individual to their former self before drugs or alcohol took over their life. Historically, the southeastern United States, especially the Atlanta metropolitan area, has been an important transshipment center for the movement of illicit drugs. The web of interstate highways, airports, trains, and buses facilitate easy access to other drug markets and stash sites. However, the role of Georgia, and especially Atlanta, has changed dramatically to both a transshipment center and a local distribution center for Mexico-based drug trafficking organizations making the number of addicts needing drug addiction treatment greater.
When choosing an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program in Georgia, there can be several important factors to consider. Residential treatment (inpatient) or outpatient treatment? Short term or long term? 12-step or non-traditional? Are replacement drugs used or is it a drug-free rehabilitation program? Out of state or closer to home?
