The Athens Area Commencement Center believes in helping each client recover quickly from alcohol or other drug addiction, but this is just the first step on the road to recovery. We also firmly believe in giving our clients the support they need so that they have the best chance at maintaining long-term sobriety at home, in the workplace and in the community. Since 1978, the Athens Area Commencement Center has built strong relationships within the Athens and North Georgia recovery community. Here are just a few of the resources available to you, which we hope you and your family will utilize.
