Searching for drug rehab in Kennesaw? Firm Foundation welcomes men from Kennesaw and Cobb County to our men’s-only program at the Woodstock, Georgia campus. We offer a structured, step-down continuum with Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Outpatient (OP) so care can begin at the right intensity and decrease as stability grows.
Each day blends clinician-led groups with spiritual practice (morning prayer and meditation), Hazelden-informed psychoeducation, and end-of-day reflection, all delivered within a trauma-informed framework.
If you’re exploring drug rehab Kennesaw options, our treatment center offers men’s-specific care with faith-based supports while keeping clinical safety and pacing front and center.
Many men and families from Kennesaw choose Firm Foundation because a men’s-only setting reduces distractions and makes peer accountability easier to build during treatment. Our step-down model keeps treatment consistent as needs change, so clinical gains aren’t lost when a client moves between levels of care.
Day-to-day programming centers on clinician-led psychodynamic and skills groups, Hazelden-informed relapse-prevention education, and optional discipleship. This approach balances spiritual supports with evidence-based clinical planning. For many local families, a nearby program is appealing for privacy and men’s-specific culture while still offering faith-integrated clinical care.
We offer a step-down continuum of Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Outpatient (OP) so men from Kennesaw can begin at the level that fits and step down as skills and stability grow.
We usually run our partial hospitalization program from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday–Friday, for men who benefit from daily therapeutic structure while returning home at night. Each day typically begins with prayer and a short meditation, followed by clinician-led psychodynamic and open-process groups where clients bring work and practice recovery skills.
Midday psychoeducation covers Hazelden-informed relapse prevention strategies and family-intervention topics, and the day closes with a reflection group to consolidate learning and plan next steps.
PHP combines rigorous clinical work with peer support and spiritual practice, ideal for men who want intensive, daytime treatment without overnight residential placement.
Our IOP generally meets 9 a.m.–12 p.m. and suits men stepping down from higher-intensity care or balancing treatment with work, school, or family life. Sessions emphasize hands-on skills practice, such as coping techniques, relapse-prevention rehearsals, and communication work so that clients can apply recovery tools in real-world routines.
We keep the same clinical team involved across transitions, coordinating individual goals, group topics, and progress notes to preserve therapeutic gains. The intensive outpatient program offers a concentrated block of therapy time while allowing participants to maintain daytime responsibilities and gradually increase independence.
Outpatient (OP) provides fewer weekly hours and a flexible schedule for men who are rebuilding routines but still want structured support. OP focuses on relapse prevention, personalized goal setting, and regular clinical check-ins; group sessions and brief individual touchpoints maintain accountability and reinforce skills from earlier phases.
Our outpatient program helps men transition fully back to work and family life while keeping clinical oversight and peer support in place.
At our Kennesaw drug treatment center, we begin each morning with prayer and a short meditation to help men center before clinical groups. This routine is a steady, optional element of our programming.
We weave discipleship opportunities into the schedule for those who want deeper spiritual formation, while making clear that spiritual supports sit alongside, not instead of, clinical treatment.
Established frameworks inform our psychoeducation curriculum, so spiritual practice is paired with practical recovery skills. The tone is respectful and welcoming to men at any point in their faith journey.
We deliver care within a trauma-informed framework that prioritizes safety, pacing, and stabilization before introducing deeper processing. Our clinicians assess readiness and teach coping skills first, so trauma-focused work proceeds only when supports are in place.
EMDR-certified clinicians are available, and EMDR is offered as a clinician-directed intervention when it fits an individualized treatment plan. This staged, clinician-led approach helps protect safety and long-term gains by ensuring trauma processing is introduced carefully and with adequate clinical supports in place.
We treat substance use together with co-occurring mental health conditions in a single, integrated plan so both needs are addressed rather than treated separately. Clinical coordination links group work, psychoeducation, and individual therapy across PHP, IOP, and OP to reduce fragmentation and keep goals aligned as clients move between levels of care.
That unified approach helps clinicians spot overlapping symptoms early and adjust interventions so addiction treatment and mental health care move forward in step.
We arrange family contact and sessions on a case-by-case basis; when appropriate, the care team facilitates family involvement roughly every two weeks to keep loved ones informed and engaged.
The purpose is practical: align expectations, improve communication, and build an aftercare plan that supports a smoother transition back to home life. Family work is scheduled in collaboration with the client and clinical team, complementing but not replacing individual treatment.
We provide clinically oriented care for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Treatment addresses addiction and overlapping psychiatric needs in a coordinated plan delivered across PHP, IOP, and OP.
