About Tangu Recovery

TANGU Recovery offers outpatient program and intensive outpatient treatment for substance abuse and mental health conditions in Atlanta. Serving the recovery community since 1994, this CARF-accredited rehab provides specialized care for veterans, seniors, and individuals with co-occurring disorders.

TANGU Recovery operates as a comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment center in Atlanta, Georgia, serving the recovery community since 1994. Located in the Water Place complex, this CARF-accredited facility focuses on outpatient rehabilitation and mental health services for individuals seeking flexible treatment options while maintaining their daily responsibilities. The recovery center specializes in serving the Atlanta and Marietta areas with programs designed for ongoing recovery support.

The facility provides two primary levels of care: outpatient program services and intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment. These programs address multiple substance dependencies including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, stimulants, cocaine, synthetic drugs, and marijuana. The recovery center also treats co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and PTSD through their outpatient framework.

Treatment approaches center on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within their outpatient programming structure. The center maintains 24-hour operations and offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of their comprehensive care model. Gender-specific housing and structured housing options support clients transitioning through different phases of recovery, creating connections between treatment and stable sober living environments.

TANGU Recovery serves specialized populations including veterans, seniors and older adults, men, court-ordered clients, and individuals with co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis needs. The facility also provides HIV/AIDS support services and trauma-focused care for PTSD. Insurance coverage includes major carriers like Cigna, Anthem, United Healthcare, Kaiser Permanente, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, making their outpatient programs accessible to diverse members of the recovery community seeking long-term treatment partnerships.

Outpatient Programs and Recovery Services

TANGU Recovery delivers outpatient program services and intensive outpatient treatment designed for individuals who need structured addiction treatment while maintaining work, family, or educational commitments. The recovery center's outpatient programs address multiple substances including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, cocaine, and synthetic drugs through flexible scheduling that accommodates daily responsibilities.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides more concentrated treatment hours while preserving the flexibility that makes outpatient care appealing to working professionals, students, and family caregivers. Both levels of care integrate mental health treatment for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns, supporting the dual diagnosis needs common in the recovery community.

Specialized Populations and Community Focus

The facility serves distinct populations within the recovery community, including veterans who may face unique challenges related to service-connected trauma and PTSD. Seniors and older adults receive age-appropriate outpatient treatment that considers the specific medical and social factors affecting recovery in later life stages. Court-ordered clients access structured programming that meets legal requirements while building genuine recovery skills.

TANGU Recovery also provides specialized support for individuals living with HIV/AIDS, addressing the intersection of addiction treatment and ongoing medical care. The recovery center's experience with co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis ensures that mental health conditions receive integrated treatment rather than separate, disconnected services.

Treatment Approach and Therapeutic Methods

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms the foundation of treatment approaches at TANGU Recovery, helping clients identify and modify thought patterns that contribute to substance use and mental health challenges. This therapeutic method provides practical tools for managing triggers, developing coping strategies, and building relapse prevention skills essential for long-term recovery success.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available for appropriate candidates, combining FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. This comprehensive approach addresses the biological aspects of addiction while building psychological and social recovery skills through outpatient programming.

Housing Support and Recovery Community Connections

Beyond direct treatment services, TANGU Recovery maintains connections to gender-specific housing and structured housing options that support clients transitioning between treatment phases. These sober living arrangements provide stable environments where individuals can practice recovery skills learned in outpatient programs while building community connections with others in similar situations.

The recovery center's housing manager helps coordinate these residential supports, recognizing that stable, substance-free living environments significantly impact outpatient treatment success. This integrated approach links addiction treatment with practical recovery supports that extend beyond clinical programming hours.
