Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms the foundation of their therapeutic approach, delivered by a leadership team that includes specialized credentials in behavioral health, developmental disabilities, and dual diagnosis treatment. Medical Director Carmen Sofia Martinez Villar, MD, oversees clinical care alongside Vice President of Behavioral Health Jennifer Haines-Pruitt, LPC, CPCS, ensuring clients receive comprehensive dual diagnosis support.

This recovery center specifically serves pregnant women, seniors, men, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, with ADA-compliant communication services ensuring accessibility for all community members. Multiple DeKalb County locations, sliding-scale fees based on income, and acceptance of Medicaid, Medicare, and state insurance make their outpatient program accessible to diverse populations seeking long-term recovery support and aftercare connections in the Atlanta area.

Outpatient Treatment Programs and Recovery Support

Peachford Behavioral Health Systems delivers structured outpatient addiction treatment that allows individuals to maintain their daily responsibilities while building strong recovery foundations. Their outpatient program serves as both primary treatment and aftercare support, connecting clients to ongoing recovery community resources throughout DeKalb County and greater Atlanta.

The facility's 24/7 operating schedule includes crisis intervention services, ensuring that recovery support extends beyond traditional business hours. This accessibility makes Peachford particularly valuable for those in early recovery or transitioning from residential treatment programs who need consistent community connection and professional support.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment

Specialized dual diagnosis treatment addresses the complex intersection of substance use disorders with mental health conditions, trauma, and PTSD. Under the clinical oversight of Medical Director Carmen Sofia Martinez Villar, MD, and behavioral health leadership, clients receive integrated care that treats both addiction and underlying psychological conditions simultaneously.

This comprehensive approach proves essential for long-term recovery success, particularly for individuals with developmental disabilities or trauma histories who require specialized therapeutic interventions alongside their substance abuse treatment.

Accessibility and Community Inclusion

Peachford's commitment to serving diverse populations includes specialized accommodations for deaf and hard of hearing individuals through ADA-compliant communication services.
