About Willowbrooke at Tanner
Willowbrooke at Tanner provides comprehensive addiction treatment and recovery services in Villa Rica, Georgia, including medical detox, residential treatment, and outpatient programs. This Joint Commission-accredited recovery center specializes in co-occurring disorders and serves adolescents and adults in their recovery community journey.
Willowbrooke at Tanner operates as a comprehensive addiction treatment center in Villa Rica, Georgia, offering a full continuum of care for individuals seeking long-term recovery solutions. Since 2009, this residential treatment facility has served the Carroll County area with round-the-clock services designed to support sustained sobriety and community integration.

Their specialized focus on co-occurring disorders makes them particularly valuable for individuals managing both substance abuse and mental health challenges simultaneously, with dedicated programming for adolescents and adults who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Treatment approaches center on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), with psychiatric oversight from Director Marcy Edwards. The facility's methodology emphasizes addressing underlying mental health conditions alongside addiction, recognizing that lasting recovery requires comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment rather than isolated substance abuse intervention.
Willowbrooke at Tanner serves diverse populations including adolescents and individuals with dual diagnosis needs, accepting major insurance carriers like Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and United Healthcare. Their Joint Commission accreditation and Tanner Patient Financial Assistance Program demonstrate commitment to accessible, quality care, while their 24/7 operations ensure continuous support throughout the recovery process.
Medical Detox and Residential Treatment Programs
Willowbrooke at Tanner's medical detox services provide the critical foundation for long-term recovery, operating 24 hours daily to ensure safe withdrawal management. The residential treatment program continues this intensive support, creating a structured environment where individuals can focus entirely on early recovery skills and coping strategies.
The seamless progression from detox to residential care eliminates gaps in treatment that often derail recovery efforts. This comprehensive approach allows the treatment team to monitor both physical stabilization and psychological adjustment, setting the stage for successful transition to outpatient programming and eventual community reintegration.
Intensive Outpatient and Continuing Care Options
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Willowbrooke at Tanner bridges the gap between residential treatment and independent living, offering structured programming while allowing individuals to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. This flexibility proves essential for building real-world recovery skills and testing coping mechanisms in everyday situations.
Standard outpatient programming provides ongoing support for individuals established in their recovery journey, focusing on relapse prevention, life skills development, and community connection. The combination of CBT and MAT approaches ensures both psychological and medical aspects of recovery receive appropriate attention throughout the aftercare process.
Specialized Care for Co-occurring Disorders
Willowbrooke at Tanner's dual diagnosis treatment approach recognizes that mental health conditions and substance abuse often intertwine, requiring simultaneous treatment for lasting recovery. Under psychiatric direction from Marcy Edwards, the program addresses depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges alongside addiction treatment.
This integrated model prevents the revolving door effect common when only addiction or only mental health receives treatment attention. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help individuals understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while Medication-Assisted Treatment addresses both substance cravings and psychiatric symptoms when appropriate.
