Road to Recovery Inc

Road to Recovery Inc structures their addiction treatment around two primary outpatient models: standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) services. The standard outpatient program allows individuals to maintain their daily routines while participating in regular therapy sessions and recovery planning. This approach works particularly well for people transitioning from residential treatment or those beginning their recovery journey while preserving work and family commitments.

The intensive outpatient program provides more concentrated substance abuse treatment for clients requiring additional support without residential placement. IOP participants engage in multiple weekly sessions that address addiction patterns, trauma responses, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Both programs utilize telehealth platforms, enabling consistent participation for clients across Atlanta and Marietta who face transportation challenges or scheduling conflicts with traditional in-person sessions.

The recovery center emphasizes the connection between trauma and addiction through specialized therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Clinical Director Rocio D. Woody and the treatment team recognize that many individuals seeking addiction treatment have underlying trauma histories that require specific therapeutic attention alongside substance abuse recovery.

This dual focus proves particularly important for their work with veterans, young adults, and individuals with co-occurring disorders. The EMDR-certified therapists address trauma responses that often drive addictive behaviors, while CBT sessions help clients develop practical coping strategies for long-term recovery. The combination creates a foundation for sustained sobriety that addresses root causes rather than symptoms alone.

Road to Recovery serves an unusually broad range of populations within the Atlanta recovery community, from adolescents beginning early intervention to seniors addressing late-life addiction issues. The center's bilingual services accommodate Spanish and Japanese-speaking clients, reflecting Atlanta's diverse demographics and ensuring language barriers don't prevent access to quality addiction treatment.

The facility accepts multiple insurance types including Medicaid, Medicare, and state insurance plans, alongside self-pay options. Their Monday through Friday evening hours extend until 6:30pm, with Saturday morning sessions available, accommodating working individuals who cannot attend traditional daytime programming. This scheduling flexibility proves crucial for people maintaining employment during outpatient recovery, supporting long-term stability and community integration.

The treatment team includes licensed clinical social workers, professional counselors, and a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in addiction medicine. Clinical Coordinator Faiza Ali (LPC) and Clinical Supervisor Bradley Jones (LPC) oversee daily operations alongside bilingual therapists who provide culturally competent care for diverse client populations. This staffing model ensures both clinical depth and cultural accessibility within their outpatient programs.

Psychiatrist Tulio Quevedo provides medication management for clients with co-occurring mental health disorders, particularly important for dual diagnosis cases where both addiction and psychiatric conditions require coordinated treatment. The combination of therapy, psychiatry, and specialized trauma services under one roof streamlines care coordination and improves outcomes for clients with complex recovery needs.
