Compassionate Opioid Addiction Treatment
Our substance abuse treatment programs address both physical dependency and mental health, giving people the medical and emotional support they need to beat opioid addiction. We use proven and evidence-based medication-assisted treatment methods with drugs like Suboxone, along with access to counseling and behavioral therapy, to arm patients with the skills they need to remain drug-free when they return to their daily lives. Suboxone can provide relief from the withdrawal symptoms associated with coming off heroin or other opioids, reducing the risk of a relapse.
Our pledge to you:
To help you feel better, get better and stay better within a safe non-judgemental community.
Individualized Addiction Treatment Plans
Our personalized treatment plans are designed around the needs of each individual, and they’re regularly reviewed to ensure they’re effective. We think long-term when devising treatment plans rather than simply giving out medications to address the physical dependency while ignoring other parts of the patient’s life. By treating each patient as an individual and addressing the underlying issues that may have contributed to a person’s substance abuse, we give our patients the skills they need to live a healthy, drug-free life.

Visiting a treatment center for the first time can be intimidating, but our team members will do everything they can to make you feel welcome and supported. On your first visit, you’ll be asked to complete some paperwork, with assistance from our office team, before meeting with a doctor and a therapist who’ll perform an initial assessment and learn about your opioid use and other relevant details so they can prepare a personalized treatment plan for you.

- Photo ID: A valid government-issued ID such as a driver’s license or passport.

- Initial payment (if applicable): Be prepared for any costs not covered by insurance. We accept various payment methods and can discuss financial arrangements during your visit.
What to Expect: Your First Steps with Cedar Recovery Athens
After the initial consultation, we’ll explain your treatment plan to you. The first visit is a chance for you to get to know us as much as for our medical team to assess you. There’s no obligation to enroll after that first consultation. However, if you decide to proceed with treatment, we’ll outline the next steps for you.
Depending on the doctor’s assessment, your program could include medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone (buprenorphine) during the withdrawal period, individual therapy, counseling or a combination of treatments. We’ll stay in regular contact with you and review your prescription and treatment plan to ensure you get the right support for your circumstances.
