Cobb Outpatient Detox

They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Atlanta is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 1 of the 8 centers near Marietta offers one at all.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Marietta it may be mixed.

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Atlanta has the nearest beds, 1.6 miles away.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Atlanta.

It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. Outpatient care often continues for months after a residential stay, at a few hours a week. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.

They normally continue, and a prescriber at the program reviews the whole list on arrival. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
