Since 1978, Athens Area Commencement Center has been North Georgia's trusted outpatient drug and alcohol rehab, built on the belief that recovery should never require you to leave your family or career behind. As a CARF accredited, family-owned treatment center, we provide personalized addiction treatment and detox in Athens, GA, tailored to the individual and supported by 48 years of experience in the Athens recovery community.
Drug and alcohol addiction can be devastating to the family of an abuser. The family’s role in the recovery process is vital.
In order to achieve a balanced and successful recovery, AACC believes it is important for patients to understand their disease through Educational Meetings.
The heart and soul of AACC is Group Therapy. There are two types of group sessions: experiential and reality.
For over 48 years, Athens Area Commencement Center has been North Georgia’s most trusted name in outpatient addiction treatment. Our Athens outpatient rehab is built on the most current medical understanding of addiction as a disease of the brain, the body, and the family. We believe recovery is possible for everyone, and we have built every program around that conviction.
Behind every successful recovery is a team of people who have dedicated their careers to making it possible. Our clinical staff, medical professionals, and counselors bring together decades of combined experience in addiction medicine, behavioral health, and recovery support. Every member of the Athens Area Commencement Center team shares a single purpose: to walk alongside each client and family with the knowledge, compassion, and commitment it takes to get there.
