Canton Drug Rehab

Canton drug rehab should feel both trustworthy and close to home. Firm Foundation Treatment Center, located just minutes away in Woodstock, Georgia, offers a faith-driven recovery experience specifically designed for men.

We weave morning prayer and meditation into evidence-based therapies such as psychodynamic process groups and relapse-prevention classes, ensuring every client strengthens body, mind, and spirit.

Our comprehensive outpatient continuum—comprising the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and standard Outpatient Program (OP)—allows you to match care intensity with your real-life responsibilities. Whether you’re stepping down from inpatient treatment or starting your first structured program, we walk with you each day so you can rebuild on a firm foundation.

Overview of Our Canton Treatment Center

Firm Foundation Treatment Center offers men a faith-based, trauma-informed drug rehab program that integrates daily prayer and meditation with evidence-based therapies like EMDR and Hazelden relapse prevention. Our Canton addiction treatment center provides a flexible outpatient continuum—including Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Outpatient (OP) programs—that balances treatment intensity with clients’ real-life responsibilities. A men-only environment fosters honest conversation and brotherhood, while optional family programming and local recovery meetings in Canton support ongoing healing. Aftercare includes access to faith-based sober living homes and financial aid through scholarships from a nonprofit fund, ensuring that treatment and housing remain accessible. Conveniently reachable via I-575, Firm Foundation offers comprehensive, spiritually grounded care designed to address addiction and co-occurring mental health issues together.

A Faith-Centered Path to Recovery Near Canton

At Firm Foundation, recovery is a personal journey. We focus on men who want solid clinical care without compromising their spiritual well-being. Every morning begins with a quiet moment of guided prayer, meditation, and practical discipleship to ground the rest of the day. 

That men-only setting means you’ll talk with people who understand the same pressures you do, fostering honest conversations and genuine camaraderie as you work through therapy together.

Clinical care is equally robust. Our team is EMDR-certified, operates within a trauma-informed framework, and excels at treating co-occurring mental health challenges. So you can heal addiction and underlying issues together. By uniting faith, evidence-based practice, and true dual diagnosis expertise, we equip Canton-area clients with the tools to transform today’s struggles into tomorrow’s strength.

Flexible Levels of Care at Our Canton Drug Rehab

Finding an addiction treatment program that meets you where you are is crucial to lasting recovery. At Firm Foundation Treatment Center, we offer three outpatient tiers—PHP, IOP, and OP—so men from Canton can step into the right level of intensity and adjust as their lives change.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our most structured option, the partial hospitalization program, runs Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., and mirrors the rhythm of a full treatment day. Mornings begin with a psychodynamic process group where you can present assignments and unpack real-time challenges, followed by relapse-prevention psychoeducation rooted in the Hazelden model. Each afternoon closes with a reflection group that helps you set intentions before heading home.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

If you need a half-day format that still delivers robust support, our intensive outpatient program meets from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on weekdays. You’ll engage in targeted group therapy, skill-building workshops, and one-on-one sessions that are ideal for balancing work, school, or family responsibilities while maintaining a close connection to your care team.

Outpatient Program (OP)

When you’re ready for the lightest touch, our outpatient program provides support without overwhelming your schedule. You’ll meet one-on-one with a therapist, participate in group check-ins, and fine-tune an accountability plan tailored to your life. It’s a built-in safety net for relapse prevention and goal tracking, allowing you to step back into work, family, and community on your terms.

Evidence-Based & Spiritual Therapies

Morning prayer & meditation

We anchor each treatment day in quiet connection with God. Clients gather for guided prayer and meditation to set intentions before beginning their clinical work, creating a space for honesty, gratitude, and focus. 

Trauma-informed EMDR (certified clinicians)

Unresolved trauma can keep addiction in place. Our EMDR-certified, trauma-informed team helps you reprocess painful memories in a safe, faith-affirming environment, so triggers lose their power. 

Hazelden-inspired psychoeducation & relapse prevention

Using the proven Hazelden curriculum, we unpack the science of substance use, relapse warning signs, and coping skills. Practical assignments translate these lessons into real-world action.

Reflection groups for daily intentions

Every afternoon closes with a reflection. Together, we review victories, challenges, and plans for the evening, reinforcing accountability and spiritual growth. 

Family & Community Engagement

Strong support systems accelerate healing. Firm Foundation Treatment Center offers:

  • Optional family programming — bi-weekly phone updates and therapy sessions arranged case-by-case to rebuild trust at home
  • Nearby recovery meetings in Canton for extra peer support:
    • Alcoholics Anonymous – Canton Group, St. Clements Episcopal Church, 2795 Ridge Rd; meets Tuesday at 8 p.m.
    • Narcotics Anonymous – New Life Church, closed Just for Today study, Monday, 7 p.m. 
    • Celebrate Recovery – New Life Church, Christ-centered 12-step, Monday 7 p.m. (dinner at 6 p.m) 

These resources provide a space for you and your loved ones to practice the skills learned in treatment, build sober friendships, and stay motivated between program days.

Aftercare, Sober Living, and Scholarships

Firm Foundation believes recovery continues long after structured treatment ends. That’s why our Canton drug treatment center partners with a network of faith-based sober-living homes just a few minutes from campus. 

These residences are owned and operated as a separate entity. Yet, they work hand in hand with the clinical team to maintain consistent rules, hold weekly house meetings, and provide on-site mentorship. Clients who choose this step gain a safe, drug-free environment where prayer, accountability, and peer support remain part of daily life.

Financial barriers shouldn’t stand between any man and lasting sobriety. 

Through the nonprofit Firm Foundation Treatment Fund, the center offers both housing and treatment scholarships. Donations from alumni, local churches, and community partners help cover program fees or a portion of sober-living rent for qualified applicants so that you can focus on healing, not invoices.

Getting to Firm Foundation from Canton

Reaching treatment is simple: hop on I-575 South for approximately 11 miles and arrive at Firm Foundation’s Woodstock campus in 15–25 minutes, depending on traffic. For men without reliable transportation, admissions staff can coordinate shuttle service or rideshare pickup on intake day and for key appointments. Because both Canton and Woodstock sit within Cherokee County, family visits are easy; loved ones can drop by for bi-weekly sessions without spending hours on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be religious to enroll?

No. While our curriculum is faith-based, we welcome any man who is open to spiritual principles. You can participate in prayer and meditation at your own comfort level.

How is PHP different from IOP?

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) operates full days, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., providing five to six hours of group and individual therapy. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) meets on the same days, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., allowing you to balance treatment with work or school. 

Can I work or study during treatment?

Yes. Many clients hold jobs or attend classes while in IOP or OP. We coordinate schedules so you can meet responsibilities without sacrificing recovery.

What insurance or scholarships are available?

We work with most major insurers and review benefits before admission. If coverage falls short, you can apply to the Firm Foundation Treatment Fund for partial or full scholarships.
