Our trauma-informed team is EMDR-certified and fully equipped for dual-diagnosis care so that you can address substance use and co-occurring mental-health challenges in one integrated program. 

In short, we combine spiritual guidance, evidence-based therapy, and brotherhood to help men from Decatur rebuild on solid ground. 

Overview of Our Decatur Treatment Center

Firm Foundation Treatment Center near Decatur offers men a faith-based drug rehab program that integrates daily Christian devotion, prayer, and meditation with evidence-based clinical care, including trauma-informed EMDR therapy and dual-diagnosis treatment. The men-only facility provides structured programs such as Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and Outpatient care, combining spiritual guidance with psychoeducation and psychodynamic therapy to support lasting recovery. Brotherhood and peer accountability are central, reinforced through group sessions, family involvement, and community activities. Financial barriers are eased through scholarships and housing assistance, with coordinated sober-living options available. Located just 40 minutes from Decatur, the center connects clients to local recovery resources, making it a comprehensive and accessible option for men seeking holistic healing grounded in both faith and clinical excellence.

Why Choose a Faith-Based Men’s Program

  • Christian discipleship + clinical excellence. Daily devotionals, Scripture, and pastoral support are integrated into evidence-based therapies, such as EMDR and psychodynamic counseling, to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. 
  • Morning prayer and guided meditation set the spiritual tone before groups and individual sessions, grounding each man in purpose and accountability.
  • Licensed clinicians treat co-occurring disorders (anxiety, PTSD, depression) alongside addiction, ensuring truly integrated, dual-diagnosis care.
  • A men-only setting fosters honesty, brotherhood, and a laser focus on recovery, free from outside distractions. 

Programs for Addiction Treatment Near Decatur

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program runs Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., providing men with a full day of structure without requiring an overnight stay. Mornings begin with prayer and guided meditation, followed by a psychodynamic process group where clients share their assignments and receive feedback from the clinician. 

At midday, we delve into Hazelden-based psychoeducation on relapse prevention and family dynamics, followed by an afternoon reflection group. This schedule offers the depth of residential care while allowing you to live at home or in a sober living environment. 

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our intensive outpatient program meets from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, allowing for flexibility to accommodate work, school, or family commitments. You’ll continue with process groups, individual sessions, and faith-based reflection while stepping down from PHP or starting in a format that balances flexibility with accountability.

Outpatient Program (OP)

When you’re ready for minimal clinical hours but still want guidance, our outpatient program provides regular check-ins, group therapy, and ongoing spiritual support. It’s the final phase that helps you apply new skills while re-engaging fully with work, family, or sober-living life. 

Therapy Options at Firm Foundation

Trauma-Informed Care

  • EMDR-certified clinicians guide men through past trauma in a safe, structured setting. 
  • Sessions link trauma recovery to relapse prevention, addressing PTSD and addiction together.

Psychoeducation & Psychodynamic Work

  • Hazelden’s curriculum covers relapse triggers, family roles, and healthy coping mechanisms. 
  • Open process groups encourage honest sharing and peer accountability.

Optional Family Support

  • Family involvement is available every week when clinically appropriate, focusing on boundaries, communication, and recognizing signs of relapse.

A Supportive Men’s Recovery Community

Brotherhood is built into everything we do. Because Firm Foundation treats men only, clients develop authentic peer mentorship rooted in shared faith and mutual accountability. Beyond daily groups and prayer, men at our Decatur drug treatment center bond over service projects, step work, and weekend worship, creating a support system that endures long after discharge.

Finances or housing should never block a man’s chance to heal. The Firm Foundation Treatment Fund—our in-house nonprofit—provides scholarships and housing assistance to eligible clients, easing the financial burden of care and sober housing. 

For added stability, we coordinate placements in separately managed sober-living homes that align with our clinical schedule and spiritual focus.

Why Men in Decatur Choose the Firm Foundation for Drug Rehab

Christian, men-only drug rehabs are hard to find in Georgia’s largely secular landscape. Firm Foundation fills that gap with a Christ-centered model that also delivers top-tier clinical care. 

Each weekday follows a structured schedule of prayer, psychodynamic groups, Hazelden-based psychoeducation, and reflection, led by trauma-informed, EMDR-certified clinicians who can address addiction and co-occurring disorders together.

Beyond therapy, men benefit from an authentic peer community and practical support. The Firm Foundation Treatment Fund offers scholarships and housing assistance to ensure that finances never hinder recovery, while separately managed but closely coordinated sober-living homes provide a safe transition after treatment. 

Together, these resources create a seamless pipeline from detox through long-term sobriety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I attend treatment if I live in Decatur but work full-time?

Yes. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) meets from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekdays, providing three clinical hours each day and ample time to maintain our job or care for family.

What makes your drug rehab faith-based?

Every level of care we offer begins with morning prayer and meditation, incorporating Christian discipleship themes throughout group sessions and assignments. Biblical principles guide discussions on accountability, forgiveness, and purpose.

Do I need insurance to enroll?

Most clients use commercial insurance, and we verify benefits quickly. If coverage is limited, the Firm Foundation Treatment Fund may offer need-based scholarships to help offset the costs of treatment or sober living. 

How do you treat co-occurring mental health issues?

Our program is explicitly dual-diagnosis capable—licensed clinicians treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other conditions alongside substance use, often using EMDR and other trauma-informed modalities.

Is housing available during or after treatment?

While PHP, IOP, and OP are outpatient, we partner with separately run sober-living homes that align with our schedule and faith focus, giving men a stable, drug-free environment close to campus.

How long does each level of care last?

Length is individualized. PHP typically spans several weeks of full-day programming (9 a.m.–3 p.m.). Many men then step down to IOP (three hours a day) and finally OP (a few clinical hours weekly). Your team will adjust the timeline as you advance.

What substances do you treat?

Firm Foundation works with men battling addiction to alcohol, opioids (including prescription painkillers and heroin), benzodiazepines, stimulants such as cocaine or meth, and polysubstance use. Because our clinicians are dual diagnosis trained, you’ll also receive support for any co-occurring mental health symptoms that may complicate withdrawal or cravings.

Is transportation available from Decatur to your campus?

Yes—our admissions team can help you arrange transportation, whether that means coordinating a rideshare, scheduling a shuttle from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, or connecting you with sober-transport partners. We want the distance to Woodstock to feel like the easiest part of starting treatment, not an obstacle.
