Talbott Recovery Campus

Support for professionals

With almost 40 years of helping professionals in recovery, this facility focuses on treating individuals whose careers are impacted by substance use or mental health challenges. This includes professional re-entry support and recovery planning specifically for career-related concerns. Programming supports healthcare professionals, pilots, executives, attorneys, and others who may have workplace and licensing needs. Clients get help from addiction psychiatrists and skilled clinicians. They also receive support for returning to work and staying in recovery long-term. Cell phones and laptops are permitted for clients who are participating in PHP, IOP, or flexible outpatient options that include virtual treatment.

Nature-focused campus and amenities

Treatment takes place on a 100-acre campus near the Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. It includes a 30-acre lake, gardens, walking paths, and outdoor spots for relaxing and recreation. Additional amenities are fitness facilities, swimming pools, transportation services, and a meditation path on campus. The setting is intended to create a comfortable, home-like space for clients to focus on recovery.

Dual-diagnosis treatment

Programming uses a dual-diagnosis treatment model. This approach treats substance use and mental health conditions together. Clients work with board-certified addiction psychiatrists and clinicians who specialize in co-occurring disorders. Treatment may include medication management, MAT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapies. Care plans focus on addiction and also address conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, burnout, and grief.

Family involvement and ongoing recovery support

Loved ones have the opportunity to stay involved with treatment through a dedicated family program, and monthly family workshops and education. Each client is set up with a family counselor to focus on rebuilding relationships and improving communication. Other support may come from alumni events, online alumni groups, mentoring, peer support, and return visits.
