Are you ready to start your recovery journey?

We’re here to help.

Acceptance Recovery Center is a long-term, intensive recovery residence for individuals with Substance Use Disorder that assess as high risk/need. Located in Athens, Georgia, our program offers a therapeutic setting in which residents receive structure, accountability, and evidence-based recovery support services. Certified through THOR (Transitional Housing for Offender Reentry), GARR (Georgia Association of Recovery Residences), and RPH (Reentry Partnership Housing), our program is designed to provide a healthy structure of accountability for those in need of more than just a traditional sober living home.

Our program serves men, women, transgender and non-binary individuals, and each resident must complete the 5-phase “Foundation” program in no less than 12 months. While “success” cannot be guaranteed for each individual, the opportunity for such is certainly available to those who are motivated and willing to receive the tools we provide. Through an in-depth, evidence-based, and evidence-informed recovery plan, residents are equipped with the necessary tools for a life free from active addiction.

Our residential addiction recovery support services offer a range of resources, including peer support groups, case-management, counseling, and healthcare services, to help you achieve and maintain long-term recovery.
