United Way of Greater Atlanta
Acceptance Recovery Center and the United Way of Greater Atlanta is excited to announce a partnership during uncertain times in our community. Funding is provided by the Greater Atlanta COVID-19 Recovery and Response Fund, a partnership between the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta and United Way of Greater Atlanta. The funding awarded to ARC from the United Way of Greater Atlanta will be used to assist the immediate needs of our economically vulnerable residents with assistance for program fees, medication, and food. We look forward to a continued partnership with the United Way of Greater Atlanta as we continue to watch our residents thrive in their recovery during a global pandemic.
Bike Athens
We envision a comprehensive transportation network that all Athenians can use with confidence and ease.
Our mission is to make cycling, walking, and transit an everyday solution to transportation needs in Athens through education, advocacy, and community service.
Here at ARC, we are esteemed to have partnered with BikeAthens which greatly improves our ability to serve clients. Many of our clients have substance use violations that have suspended their licenses, or they are in financial situations where their access to a motor vehicle is limited. As they are encouraged at our center to seek and maintain employment, access to a bike makes this possible for them by increasing their mobility. One client has described having his own bike as part of taking back ownership over his life, time, and recovery. It empowered him to realize his strength and autonomy.

One Posture at a Time
One Posture at a Time is a Hatha yoga practice specifically designed toward restoring the addicted person to a permanent state of health, wholeness, and well-being. Using ancient yoga postures, our practice reduces toxic harm caused by addiction and cultivates the necessary mind/body connection powerful enough to bring change at the highest level of the conscious spiritual self. Working in tandem with state-regulated drug and alcohol programs, the practice eases the pain of chemical detox by teaching a new, holistic and scientific way to not only get clean but stay clean. The negative blocks and shame that have built up in the body over years of harmful abuse — the ‘issues in the tissues’ — begin to fall to the wayside, making room for the true Self and purpose to emerge. By expressing each posture, one at a time, the innate sense of self-respect, self-love, self-control, and self-realization that exists deep down inside every human being is 100 percent restored.

Motherhood Beyond Bars
With the goal of long-term, healthy reunification and a permanent end to cycles of incarceration in families, Motherhood Beyond Bars (MBB) is the only organization in Georgia offering comprehensive support for incarcerated mothers, their infants, and caregivers.
Motherhood Beyond Bars ensures a healthy start for infants born to incarcerated women by providing a network of comprehensive support for mothers and caregivers. We support and strengthen families with the goal of long-term, healthy reunification and a permanent end to cycles of incarceration in families.
Pregnancy and birth should be a time of transformation, not trauma. Every woman should have access to quality care and compassionate childbirth support. Every child born deserves to be bonded from birth and supported by a community of care. Women moving beyond prison should be prepared to parent with confidence.
PROUD – Peers in Recovery from Opioid Use & Dependency
PROUD is a non-intensive outpatient, peer-led, opioid specific program that focuses on the importance of connection as the solution to addiction. Recovery is a very personal journey. The mission of the PROUD Program is to connect any person with an opioid use disorder diagnosis to the best care possible to achieve recovery and wellness, and to provide ongoing supports including medication assisted treatment where appropriate. The goal is to help the individual meet as many of their identified needs as possible, and to help them stabilize as they build recovery capital. PROUD will seek to create a connection with the person and any identified natural supports to effectively assist with detox and stabilization services, residential treatment services, outpatient substance use services, individual counseling and groups, and linkage within the community at large, in an effort to meet the person’s recovery goals.
PROUD is not an ASAM level of care, but rather a system of care designed to work alongside other behavioral health programs as a comprehensive component for person-centered care.
Period Project at UGA
Period Project at UGA is part of a nationwide movement to end period poverty and period stigma. We work with local homeless shelters and community centers to provide menstrual products and health education to those in need across Athens-Clarke County.
