Psychiatrists in this field are trained to understand the psychological and neurobiological aspects of addiction, offering care that addresses both the mind and body. At Peachtree Detox, we know that integrating psychiatric care into our Atlanta detox programs can lead to higher retention rates. When clients mental health needs are also addressed, they’re more likely to stay engaged in treatment.
At Peachtree Detox, our team of addiction Psychiatrists work alongside other specialists to provide holistic, patient-centered treatment.
Addiction Psychiatry can assist with a wide range of issues related to substance use, including:
During the initial detox phase, our team and Psychiatrists meet with you on-on-one to understand your needs, potential withdrawal symptoms, and go over your medical history.
Our psychiatrists provide support to manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure a safe and comfortable detox process. Medications may be prescribed to alleviate physical discomfort, reduce cravings, and stabilize mood. Moreover, ongoing weekly psychiatric sessions help address any psychological distress that may arise during detox.
Sessions may also include therapy to explore the underlying causes of addiction, develop coping mechanisms, and set goals for recovery. At Peachtree Detox, clients can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where their well-being is the top priority.
During detox, medications are often prescribed to safely help individuals manage withdrawal symptoms, especially for substances that can have life-threatening withdrawal effects.

The use of medications during detox is always tailored to each individual’s needs and preferences, ensuring a compassionate and patient-centered approach to care. Here are some of the following medications that may be prescribed during detox:
