Solutions treats substance use disorders from Business Park Drive in Norcross, in the office-park grid between Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Buford Highway. Day, evening, hybrid, and virtual schedules mean treatment can start without anyone walking away from a job, a lease, or a family.
Jimmy Carter Boulevard is already stacked up by 7 a.m. The light at Buford Highway cycles twice before the line moves, the lots behind the taquerias and the tire shops start filling in, and somewhere in that traffic a person is running quiet arithmetic: how many hours until the shaking eases enough to sit through a meeting, whether what is left in the pill bottle stretches to Friday. Norcross is a place where someone can hold a good job off Technology Parkway, keep a house near Berkeley Lake looking exactly right, and still be coming apart by Thursday night. By the time someone contacts us, that arithmetic has usually been running for months, in their own head or in the head of anyone observing them.
If you have found yourself keeping track like that, the instinct to treat it seriously is the right one. A substance use disorder, the medical term for when drinking or drug use turns compulsive and continues even as it costs a person real things, tends to get worse quietly and then all at once. Peachtree Recovery Solutions is a drug and alcohol rehab in Norcross offering outpatient addiction treatment programs, and of all the Georgia communities we serve, this is the one where our own address sits.
Care in Norcross Means the Drive Is Not the Deciding Factor
More treatment decisions get made by mileage than by clinical need. When help sits 40 minutes down I-85 in metro traffic, a person can talk themselves out of it before the first appointment ever happens, and the partner or parent who offered to drive starts doing their own math about work, school pickup, and gas. When the building is 15 minutes away, that particular excuse stops working.
Our program is at 3060 Business Park Drive, in the stretch of office parks that runs between Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Buford Highway, with the I-85 interchanges at Beaver Ruin Road and Jimmy Carter Boulevard a few minutes to the southeast. Downtown Norcross, Thrasher Park, and the depot on South Peachtree Street are a short drive the other way. Because the 30071 ZIP code carries both city names, our address is often written as Peachtree Corners; it is the same door either way. Coming in from Duluth, Lilburn, Doraville, Tucker, or Berkeley Lake, the trip is a local errand rather than a day off work.
Staying in town helps with the part almost nobody thinks about until later. Family sessions are easier to attend when the drive is 15 minutes instead of an hour. A person can keep a shift, keep a kid in the same school, and still be in treatment several days a week. When the most intensive stretch ends, the plan for what comes next gets built inside the same community where recovery has to hold, past the same restaurants, the same coworkers, and the same Saturday routines.
What Outpatient Addiction Treatment Actually Looks Like Here
Most people picture rehab as somewhere you disappear to for 30 days. Outpatient care runs the other direction. A person lives at home, or in structured housing nearby, spends a set number of hours each week in therapy, and carries what they practiced back into the same week that has been causing the trouble.
PHP and IOP, and Which One Fits
There are two levels of care here. Partial hospitalization, usually shortened to PHP, is the more structured of the two. It runs Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., and it suits the weeks right after a detox or a residential stay, when the day still needs a firm shape around it. Intensive outpatient, or IOP, meets for fewer hours so that work, classes, and family obligations can fit around treatment instead of being canceled by it.
Both levels lean on the same clinical core. Cognitive behavioral therapy trains a person to catch the thought that runs ahead of the drink and put something else in its path. Dialectical behavior therapy builds the skill of sitting through a craving or a wave of anger without acting on it. Trauma-informed therapy takes up what came before the substance, because for a lot of people the drinking or the pills started as a way to get through something. Around that core sit family therapy, group work, a weekly one-on-one hour with a master’s-level therapist, holistic and music therapy, and red light therapy, offered as a comfort support for the sleep trouble common in early sobriety rather than as a treatment on its own.
Residential care stabilizes a person inside a protected setting. Outpatient is where new coping skills get written and then tested against real triggers: the Friday invitation, the argument in the driveway, the drive past the store where the routine used to start. Doing that work while still living in Norcross is harder in the moment and sturdier afterward, because nothing has to be carried out of a bubble and into an ordinary life.
Six Schedules, Because a Gwinnett Work Week Does Not Pause
The most common reason people give for putting treatment off is not denial. It is the calendar. Rent is due, the job needs covering, somebody has to be at the school by 3:15. So the program runs in six variations, and the honest goal is that at least one of them fits a real life in Gwinnett County.
- PHP, five days a week: In person on Business Park Drive, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. The most structured option, and often the right one for the first weeks after detox or residential care.
- Day IOP: In person, 9:00 a.m. to noon, either five days a week or three, with Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the usual three-day pattern.
- Evening IOP: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., held virtually, so a full workday stays intact.
- Hybrid IOP: Tuesday and Friday mornings in person, with the remaining sessions virtual in the evening. Offered in both five-day and three-day formats, which cuts the number of round trips without cutting the hours of care.
- Virtual IOP: Fully online, for people whose schedule or commute makes regular in-person attendance unrealistic.
- Sober apartments: Structured housing near the program with a gym and a pool on site. The structure is real, with no come-and-go, and PHP residents receive a $50 grocery allowance so the week’s food is one less problem to solve.
Phones, Work, and What Else the Week Includes
A few practical details matter more than they sound like they should. Clients keep their phones and can work from a laptop with approval, which is the difference between treatment and unemployment for plenty of people in this corridor. AA and NA meetings are part of the week. Resume writing and job-search help are available for anyone rebuilding a work history, and there are excursions and outings, because part of the work is relearning what a good Saturday feels like sober. We treat adults through age 69.
What We See Most Around Gwinnett County
If you have been telling yourself that what is happening in your house is unusual, it is not. The same handful of substances turns up in Norcross that turns up across the north metro, and each one calls for a different clinical plan.
- Alcohol: The most common and the most underestimated, partly because it is legal and everywhere, from the Buford Highway restaurants to the standing office happy hour. Alcohol rehab starts with an honest look at how much and how often, and heavy daily drinking should never be stopped abruptly without medical guidance.
- Opioids and fentanyl: Withdrawal brings deep bone aches, cramping, and a restlessness that makes sitting still impossible. Fentanyl has reshaped the risk inside pills and powders people believe are something else, which is why opioid addiction treatment now has to account for a supply nobody can judge by looking at it.
- Benzodiazepines: Medications like Xanax, Klonopin, and Ativan need a slow, planned taper. Stopping them suddenly can be as medically risky as stopping heavy drinking suddenly.
- Stimulants: Cocaine and methamphetamine withdrawal is less physically dangerous, but the crash afterward brings exhaustion and a flattened mood that needs clinical support rather than willpower.
- More than one at a time: Often the picture involves two or three substances together, which changes the plan for both medication and therapy.
What Outpatient Addiction Treatment Actually Looks Like Here
Where Medication Fits Into the Plan
For opioid and alcohol dependence, medication-assisted treatment is available and coordinated through our medical team. That includes Suboxone and Sublocade, partial opioid medications that settle the same receptors opioids act on, enough to stop withdrawal and cravings without the swing of a full dose. It also includes naltrexone, taken daily as a pill or given monthly as the Vivitrol injection, which blunts the reward so a drink or a dose stops doing what it used to do. Whether any medication fits, and which one, is a clinical decision made for the individual. Other controlled prescriptions are reviewed case by case and cleared through our medical team first.
When Detox or a Higher Level of Care Comes First
Some people are not ready for outpatient on day one, and that is not a failure of nerve. It is a medical fact. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can involve seizures, and in severe cases delirium tremens, a medical emergency in which blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature swing outside the body’s own control. If you have been quietly afraid that someone could get badly hurt trying to quit alone at the kitchen table, that fear tracks what the medicine actually shows.
In that situation, medically supervised withdrawal comes first and outpatient care picks up afterward. Our cousin program Peachtree Detox provides detox and residential treatment on the south metro side in Fayetteville, and people commonly step down into PHP or IOP here once they are stable. It helps to know in advance what the first days without alcohol actually feel like, because the unknown is usually worse than the timeline.
The Condition the Substance Was Managing
The other thing that shows up underneath the substance use is a mental health condition the drinking or the pills had been quietly managing: depression, anxiety, trauma, or a mood disorder nobody ever named out loud. Treating both at once through dual diagnosis care gives a person a better chance than treating the substance alone and hoping the rest settles on its own.
Insurance and Cost for Norcross Families
Money is one of the first fears to surface, often before anybody has said the word rehab out loud. It is a fair fear, and it deserves a straight answer instead of a brochure.
The in-network list here is Optum, which covers Oscar, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, and Surest plans, plus Tricare East Select and Prime for the military families and retirees around Gwinnett. Under federal parity rules, most plans that cover medical care are required to cover substance use disorder treatment on comparable terms, though deductibles, session limits, and prior authorization all vary from plan to plan. The only way to know what yours does is to check it.
Our team will run your benefits and give you the real number in plain language, before a start date goes on anyone’s calendar. If your plan is not one we contract with, we will say so directly and talk through private-pay options rather than letting you find out at the worst possible moment. Knowing the figure, whatever it turns out to be, takes weight off the decision.
You are not alone. You deserve to get help.

Starting Treatment Without Leaving Norcross
If you have read this far, you are probably past wondering whether something needs to change. What is left is the practical part: how a person starts on a Tuesday in Gwinnett County without their whole life stopping first, and whether the one you have been worried about would even agree to go. Our admissions team will walk through which schedule fits the week you actually have, check your insurance, and describe what the first few days look like.
Nothing gets scheduled on that call except the next thing you decide to do. And if today is not the day, that is all right; the offer does not expire, and the conversation will be the same one whenever you choose to have it. If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

We are in-network with Optum, which includes Oscar, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, and Surest plans, and with Tricare East Select and Prime. Federal parity rules require most health plans that cover medical care to cover substance use disorder treatment on comparable terms, but deductibles, authorization requirements, and session limits differ plan by plan.

Yes, which is the whole reason for six schedule formats. Virtual IOP runs entirely online. Evening IOP meets Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., virtually, so the workday stays intact. Hybrid IOP pairs Tuesday and Friday mornings on Business Park Drive with virtual evening sessions, bringing the commute down to two trips a week. And during the most intensive stretch, the sober apartments keep someone close to the program before they move back home.
