Twin Lakes Recovery Center is founded on the belief that long-term recovery is possible for everyone who desires and works for it. Our fundamental goal is to restore the individual to a healthier, happier, and more productive life, free from dependence on alcohol, addictive chemicals and destructive behaviors. We believe that each person who walks through the doors is a unique individual who has a very special set of needs.
Our practices are built on the disease concept of addiction. Though addiction is incurable it is treatable. We believe that the families are as affected as the individual; and when possible, the family system is addressed as part of comprehensive care. Fundamental to our daily practices is the belief that all people have equal worth. Our decisions are made on the philosophy that each person has an inherent potential for change and growth and that certain proven principles help us all move toward continuous improvement, deeper relationships and greater joy, even in the face of difficulties.
We will provide you with a meaningful treatment experience that addresses the whole person: Body, Mind and Spirit. We will do this without judgements or criticisms. We believe that by treating the under-lying causes of a substance abuse condition you can significantly increase your chances for a full, lifelong recovery. We acknowledge the paradox that recovery requires individual accountability and an ongoing supportive network. “You have to give it away to keep it.”
Twin Lakes Recovery Center provides a safe and supportive atmosphere and a staff well versed in the recovery process, which we see as a lifelong adventure. Past failures are not indicative of the potential to live a life clean of addictive substances. We value our contribution to the exciting process of helping people move from hopelessness to hopefulness.
ABOUT TWIN LAKES RECOVERY CENTER
Located 50 miles east of Atlanta, Twin Lakes Recovery Center provides residential and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) for adults struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Medical detox also is available on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Twin Lakes follows the 12-Steps and subscribes to the disease model of addiction. It uses a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit, and to get to the root causes of addiction. Areas of focus include positive family relationships and vocational engagement among other elements of a productive lifestyle. Treatment plans, which are tailored to each client’s needs, use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and holistic therapies in both individual and group formats. Families can attend weekly education and process groups, where they learn healthy ways to communicate and behave.
The IOP is offered at a sister facility 40 miles north, in Gainesville, Ga. Treatment there focuses on identifying and coping with triggers, and building and maintaining healthy relationships.
Beyond IOP treatment, aftercare services include referrals to further therapy, 12-step programs, and sober living communities. According to the facility’s website, the clinical team also provides consistent check-ins during the first year after treatment,** and former clients are invited to attend alumni groups and events.
