Sunrise Detox

City-Based Medical Withdrawal Management

Sunrise Detox Alpharetta offers a short-term, residential detox program for adults beginning recovery from alcohol, prescription medications, and other substances. Clients stay in a monitored setting, typically for 5–10 days, with 24/7 nursing support and ongoing medical oversight. On admission, each client completes a comprehensive medical, mental health, and substance use assessment, which guides an individualized detox plan. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) can be used to ease withdrawal and help stabilize clients.

Evidence-Based Care for Substance Use and Mental Health

As clients begin to feel physically more stable, they can take part in individual counseling and group therapy. Treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and 12-step work. Clinicians also use models like Seeking Safety and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to explore trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress that often underlie substance use.

Comfortable Setting with Practical Amenities

The Alpharetta facility is designed to reduce the stress of withdrawal and early recovery. Clients stay in private or semi-private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and televisions, and housekeeping is provided. An in-house chef prepares balanced meals, with snacks, coffee, tea, and other beverages available around the clock. Common spaces include a recreation room with games and TV and an outdoor patio for fresh air. Transportation assistance, including airport transfers, makes it easier for people to reach care even without reliable local support.

Intervention Assistance and Aftercare Planning

When needed, staff can assist with planned interventions and offer guidance for loved ones on how to be involved in a helpful way. Case management and counseling staff help with practical needs such as employer or court documentation and coordination with future providers. Before discharge, each client works on an aftercare plan that may include residential rehab, intensive outpatient programming (IOP), or outpatient counseling.
