Centered Recovery Programs

By Anna Teal

In business since 2017 and backed by expertise in addiction and behavioral psychology, Centered Recovery Programs wants to share its passion for alternative holistic rehab solutions in the north metro Atlanta area. With locations in Roswell and Marietta, this organization offers a unique mindfulness-based approach unlike the traditional 12-step recovery programs. The approach is so successful and widely received that it has been featured in U.S. News & World Report along with countless glowing reviews on Google.

Owners Reed and Krista Smith have a deep-seated desire and dedication to helping humans gain an understanding of themselves mentally and physically, which targets a true need in the rehab community, especially those who have made previous attempts at recovery and continue to struggle.

The unique program helps clients connect to their mental health while becoming more self-aware of what sparks stress, anxiety, and depression, which can lead to addiction. Helping clients get to the root of their problems and developing a sensitivity to their feelings leads to awareness and helps the mind be more apt to evolve in a healthy way.

We offer an alternative that is refreshing and logical. Most traditional rehab programs provide the tools for recovery, but we strive to help clients understand themselves and their psychological processes, explains Reed.

We help people understand themselves in a very real way to connect to their own humanity. This method helps lift them out of their story to create a healthier one by removing obstacles and getting clarity of what is causing issues. We encourage them to go upstream in the source of thought to prevent polluting it. This allows them to understand where their stress or anxiety is coming from, says Reed.

The non-12 step program was designed to help facilitate insightful awareness, which is crucial for effortless lasting change. Centered Recovery is licensed as an outpatient facility. The founders believe that while inpatient facilities provide invaluable support in early recovery, once the client returns home, their recovery bubble often bursts, as stressors occur. This makes it hard to adapt, which causes a greater chance of relapse. Centered Recovery specializes in chronic relapse.

Reed and I have worked in residential facilities before. We believe outpatient programs are essential for lasting recovery. Working through recovery in the stresses of real life is one of the key elements that makes our program successful, explains Krista.

The longer youre involved in a treatment program, the higher rate of success. We can tweak and adjust as you go to tailor it to your needs, says Reed, who compares this belief to investing in a gym membership with the intent to work out and get fit. If you stop going to the gym, you will likely see your fitness levels decline.

Mental health should be thought of in a similar light. It takes practice and consistency to keep your mind in good health. Reed explains that they have clients theyve been seeing for over two years who come once a week to keep their mind fit and healthy.

Their renowned mindfulness approach stretches past the lines of addiction to those who struggle with a wide range of emotions including anxiety, depression, and work burnout. Theyve also implemented programs and ways to accommodate the busy lives of most Atlantans. For example, their Executive Track program focuses on older, career-focused adults who may be dealing with a variety of unique stressors. The combination of group and one-on-one therapy allows them to get the support they need.

Centered Recovery pioneered virtual intensive outpatient programming (IOP) in 2019 to fill a void in rural areas and bring services to the entire state of Georgia. Telemental therapies allow stay-at-home parents, professionals with full schedules or travel schedules, and retirees to get involved in recovery from a distance.

All sessions are offered on secure servers in compliance with HIPPA policies to protect each patients privacy. The virtual program provides a full interactive experience where clients can participate just as if they were physically present. Morning, afternoon, and evening sessions are available to provide flexibility and fit a variety of scheduling needs. Most insurance plans are accepted.

We dont believe in labels, states Krista. Our program includes a unique blend of therapies, education, and counseling that are tailored to each individual client. A byproduct of becoming your healthiest self is having a life free from addictions and habits that limit possibilities. We are in the business of helping people become their healthiest selves by addressing what is preventing it in the first place.
