Detox, treatment, and recovery support for drugs and alcohol.
To find treatment, with or without insurance, call the Georgia Crisis and Access Line at 800-715-4225 any time. They look for an open detox bed or treatment program anywhere in the state. Beds are scarce, and some open every day. If nothing is open, call again the next morning.
To talk to someone who has been there, call or text the CARES Warm Line at 844-326-5400, any day from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. The people who answer are in recovery themselves.
For ongoing care, county mental health agencies treat drug and alcohol problems and charge by income. In Fulton County that is the county Department of Behavioral Health. In DeKalb it is Claratel Behavioral Health. Medicines such as buprenorphine (Suboxone) and methadone treat opioid addiction, and you can ask for them by name.
For meetings, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and SMART Recovery meet every day across the city and online. They are free, and nobody asks for your last name or an ID. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are for families. See support groups.
For a place to live while you recover, some programs are free and last for months. Most take only men or only women, and many ask you to work or go to classes. Ask what it costs, what the rules are, and whether you can take prescribed medicine there.
If you or someone near you uses opioids, carry naloxone (Narcan). It reverses an overdose, and pharmacies sell it without a prescription. If someone overdoses, call 911. When you call for help, Georgia law protects you and the person from arrest for having a small amount of drugs.
