Therapy for addiction is a vital part of any recovery program.
There’s no one size fits all approach to treat addiction. It takes several approaches working together to overcome substance use disorder. This is where therapy for addiction can come into play.
Therapy comes in all types of forms and modalities. Throughout your treatment program, you’ll attend a variety of individual and group sessions. In turn, these sessions can focus on specific issues, approaches, topics, or activities.
Which type of therapy you use depends on the nature of your addiction as well as underlying causes. Your treatment team at Peachtree Detox will guide you to the best therapies for your diagnosis and personal struggles.

Addictive disorders develop when substance use begins to interfere with daily life, relationships, and health. These disorders aren’t about weakness or lack of willpower—they’re complex brain conditions influenced by genetics, environment, and trauma. Substances like alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants can alter the brain’s chemistry, creating powerful cravings and emotional dependency.
Therapy helps individuals address these underlying issues while learning how to manage triggers and stress without turning to substances. At Peachtree Detox, we treat each client with empathy and respect, recognizing that recovery is a deeply personal journey.
Many people who struggle with addiction also experience mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or bipolar disorder. This combination is known as a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder. Treating only one side of the problem often leads to relapse, which is why we provide fully integrated care.
Our dual diagnosis treatment plans are led by clinicians who specialize in both mental health and addiction. Through therapy, medication management, and emotional support, clients begin to stabilize their mood, gain insight into their behaviors, and develop sustainable coping skills that support long-term recovery.
At Peachtree Detox, we understand that healing from addiction is never one-size-fits-all. Each person’s story is unique, shaped by their experiences, relationships, and the challenges they’ve faced along the way.
That’s why our therapy programs are designed to meet people where they are, blending evidence-based psychiatric care with holistic practices that nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
We believe that therapy should be more than just talking about problems. It should help you uncover the why behind substance use, repair relationships, and rebuild confidence in yourself. Below are some of the core therapies offered at our Atlanta facility, each playing a unique role in the healing process.
At Peachtree Detox, we offer the following types of therapies for addiction recovery:
Medication-Assisted Treatment combines FDA-approved medications with therapy and medical supervision to help clients manage withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and early recovery challenges.
It’s often used to treat opioid and alcohol addiction, reducing the risk of relapse and helping clients feel more physically and emotionally stable. MAT at Peachtree Detox is closely monitored by licensed medical professionals who tailor each plan to the individual’s needs, ensuring both safety and comfort during the recovery process.
Family therapy gives loved ones a structured, supportive space to begin healing together. Sessions focus on communication, rebuilding trust, and learning how to support recovery without enabling unhealthy behaviors.
Family members gain insight into the nature of addiction and learn practical ways to strengthen their relationships, while clients receive the empathy and accountability that come from reconnecting with those who care most.
Many individuals who struggle with addiction have also experienced trauma. Unresolved emotional pain can lead to cycles of self-medication and avoidance, making recovery difficult without addressing the root cause.
Trauma therapy at Peachtree Detox is led by compassionate clinicians trained in trauma-informed care. Using proven techniques, clients learn how to process painful experiences safely, manage triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and trust in themselves and others.
We believe recovery involves healing the whole person: mind, body, and soul.
Our holistic therapy options include yoga, meditation, art therapy, sound healing, and mindfulness practices that encourage relaxation and self-awareness.
These therapies complement traditional approaches by helping clients reduce stress, connect with their bodies, and find joy in new, healthy outlets. Holistic therapy reminds clients that recovery isn’t just about removing substances; it’s about rediscovering balance and purpose.
CBT is one of the most effective, evidence-based therapies for addiction recovery. It helps clients identify the negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to substance use and teaches them how to replace these patterns with healthier responses.
Through CBT, clients learn to challenge self-defeating beliefs, manage cravings, and respond to life’s stressors with greater resilience and clarity. Over time, CBT builds confidence and emotional awareness — two essential pillars of long-term recovery.
DBT is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals regulate emotions, improve relationships, and cope with distress. It’s especially beneficial for those who struggle with impulsivity or intense emotional reactions.
Through a balance of acceptance and change, DBT teaches practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Clients learn how to manage difficult feelings without resorting to self-destructive behaviors, making DBT a powerful tool in both addiction and mental health treatment.
Substance use disorders are among the most common and treatable health conditions in the United States. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, over 20 million Americans live with an addiction to drugs or alcohol, yet only a fraction receive the care they need.
In Georgia, the rates of substance use continue to rise, particularly for opioids, prescription medications, and stimulants.
These numbers highlight a critical truth: addiction is not a moral failing but a public health issue that requires compassion, awareness, and accessible treatment.
Therapy provides the guidance and accountability needed to break the cycle. Even if you’re unsure whether your use has become a problem, talking with a professional can help you gain clarity and direction.
You may benefit from addiction therapy if:
Our therapy programs are grounded in compassion and science. Each client receives individualized care from licensed professionals who specialize in addiction and mental health. Sessions are held in a calm, welcoming environment designed to foster trust and growth.
Therapy typically begins during detox, where clients learn coping skills to manage cravings and discomfort.
Once stable, they continue therapy to address the deeper emotional layers of addiction. The goal is not just abstinence but transformation—helping each person rediscover their potential, rebuild confidence, and create a meaningful life in recovery.
Therapy at Peachtree Detox is available across multiple levels of care to meet clients wherever they are in their recovery journey. Both inpatient and outpatient settings share one common goal: to help individuals build a sustainable, fulfilling life in sobriety.
Our inpatient programs provide 24-hour support in a structured and therapeutic environment. Clients receive intensive individual and group therapy while enjoying the comfort and privacy of our Atlanta facility. This level of care is ideal for those in early recovery who need safety, medical supervision, and stability.
Once clients are medically stable and ready for more independence, outpatient therapy provides ongoing support without full-time residential care. This flexible option allows clients to maintain work, family, and school commitments while attending therapy sessions several times per week.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, help is closer than you think. The therapies at Peachtree Detox are designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be. With compassionate clinicians, evidence-based care, and a community that truly understands, recovery is not only possible—it’s waiting for you.
