Conditions Treated

Alcoholism
Alcoholism is a prevalent addiction in Georgia, with many individuals affected by alcohol use disorder, also known as alcoholism or alcohol addiction. This condition is characterized by a strong craving for alcohol and an inability to cease drinking, regardless of the negative consequences it brings. Prolonged alcohol use leads to chemical changes in the brain, causing it to adapt to functioning with alcohol and creating a dependence on it. For many individuals grappling with alcoholism, overcoming the addiction without professional assistance can be incredibly challenging. At WestCare Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia, our alcoholism treatment program is specifically designed to provide the necessary support and resources to help you break free from alcohol once and for all.

Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a chronic disease that manifests as a physical and psychological dependency on drugs. Extensive drug use alters brain chemistry, leading to irresistible cravings and disregard for adverse effects. The path to recovery lies in addiction treatment, which is readily available at WestCare Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia. Don’t hesitate to seek help for yourself or someone you care about, as prolonged drug use can trap you in a destructive cycle of addiction.
-
Dual Diagnosis
In Atlanta, Georgia, there are various treatment options available to address the needs of individuals with dual diagnoses. When it comes to addiction treatment, a dual diagnosis, also known as a co-occurring disorder or comorbidity, occurs when someone experiences two or more disorders simultaneously, such as a substance use disorder and a depressive disorder. Integrated treatment, which addresses both mental illness and substance use disorder concurrently, generally proves more effective for individuals dealing with a dual-diagnosis disorder compared to separate treatments for each condition. At WestCare Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia, our approach to treating dual-diagnosis disorders involves a team of knowledgeable addiction treatment professionals who offer comprehensive services that prioritize the well-being of the whole person and support overall health and recovery.
-
Mental Health
Untreated mental health disorders can have severe and potentially life-threatening consequences. Various factors, both internal and external, can disrupt an individual’s mental well-being. Internally, the emergence of conditions like depression or anxiety can contribute to these challenges, while externally, traumatic events can also take a toll. However, there are instances where counseling alone may not suffice in addressing mental health conditions. In such cases, WestCare Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia, provides a comprehensive level of support by offering mental health treatment alongside substance use disorder management. By opting for mental health treatment at WestCare Georgia, individuals can access the stability and guidance necessary to foster meaningful progress and achieve recovery.

Opioid Addiction
Opioids/opiates rank among the most highly addictive substances globally.

Misusing opioids can lead to a rapid development of addiction. Referred to as an opioid use disorder, opioid addiction involves compulsive seeking of the drug. In Atlanta, Georgia, there are numerous treatment options available for individuals struggling with opioid/opiate addiction.

Substance Abuse
Substance abuse involves the misuse of drugs or alcohol, encompassing both illicit substances like heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, as well as legal drugs such as alcohol and prescription medications.
