This is a therapy practice in Norcross, not a residential campus. Treatment is given on an outpatient model and the clinicians organize treatment around dialectical behavior therapy, a structured approach that pairs acceptance with practical change skills. Anxiety, depression, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma are the concerns the center describes working with.

Appointments happen one on one, and the team builds a plan around each person's diagnosis and the goals they describe for care. This center serves teens, adults, couples and both men and women in Norcross, Georgia, with care built on evidence-based DBT. Sessions take place in English. When you are calling on behalf of a struggling relative, the helpline can help you confirm whether this practice is a fit before booking.

Standard outpatient care is offered here, together with two more intensive options: an intensive outpatient program combined with a partial hospitalization program. This Norcross center lists outpatient, IOP and PHP levels so families can match support to need. When one weekly therapy session feels too thin and a person needs more contact with clinicians during the week without residing at a facility, the IOP and PHP are worth considering. Confirm the number of meeting days per level by asking the center.

One-on-one counseling is offered together with group therapy and skills training built around DBT modules, each lasting about seven weeks. The PHP or IOP at this Georgia center might be a better fit if someone needs more structure than weekly sessions. The approach is described as non 12 Step and evidence-based, which matters to people who have not felt comfortable in Twelve Step settings, and psychodrama is among the therapies listed. Some group sessions are available by Zoom.

Norcross setting and schedule

The practice sits at 6025 Atlantic Blvd Suite A in Norcross, Georgia, and operates as an office-based outpatient clinic rather than a residential building. If you live in Norcross or nearby Atlanta suburbs, then this Georgia center is a short drive for weekly appointments. There is no live-in housing and no overnight care here, so people travel in for appointments from Norcross and the surrounding area. Individual therapy is typically scheduled weekly, group skills training follows the seven-week module cycle, and some groups can be attended remotely by Zoom. Services are offered in English.

Paying for DBT at Atlanta DBT Center

This page does not publish what care costs, so bring up payment by phone before you book anything. To confirm insurance or Georgia Medicaid coverage, a call to the center or the helpline is the quickest way to check. Ask the center which plans it contracts with and whether it can supply a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. When Georgia Medicaid matters to the family, verify that participation directly, since not every outpatient practice bills it. Callers can use the helpline at no cost to check coverage and availability, and a brief conversation clears up more than any number of assumptions.

Questions worth asking before you enroll

  • Does my insurance plan cover individual DBT sessions and group skills training here?
  • How many days a week does the IOP meet, and how does that differ from the PHP?
  • Is the seven-week skills module repeated, and can someone join mid-cycle?
  • Which groups are offered over Zoom, and are there rules about attending remotely?
  • What if a person requires more support than outpatient therapy can offer?
  • What should I ask this Norcross, Georgia, center about dual diagnosis treatment and family involvement?

Good to know

What does Atlanta DBT Center Norcross treat?

The center focuses on dialectical behavior therapy for anxiety, depression, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma. It serves adolescents, young adults, older adults, couples, and both men and women, with services in English. Care is outpatient only, so nobody lives on site. Because the practice is one of 264 SAMHSA-listed facilities in Georgia, it is worth calling to confirm the fit for a specific diagnosis before scheduling.

Does Atlanta DBT Center Norcross offer IOP or PHP?

Yes. Beyond standard outpatient visits, an intensive outpatient program plus a partial hospitalization program are listed for people who need more structure each week than a single session gives. Both remain outpatient, so participants return home between visits. Specific meeting days, hours and any fees do not appear here, so confirm them with the center. The helpline can also find out what currently has openings.

Does Georgia Medicaid cover treatment at this Norcross center?

This practice does not say whether it takes Medicaid, so treat that as unknown until someone verifies it. Georgia's Medicaid program determines which outpatient providers it reimburses, and clinics vary in whether they participate. Before enrolling, ask whether the center bills Georgia Medicaid and what a single session costs if you pay without insurance. A short call to our helpline can help you sort through your options.

What if therapy once a week is not enough?

In that case, begin by discussing the higher levels of care. Both an IOP and a PHP are listed here, offering more structure than one weekly session plus group skills training. Some people first need withdrawal care, which is handled separately; alcohol plus benzodiazepine withdrawal can turn medically dangerous, so clinical supervision should guide it rather than a therapy office on its own.

How long is the skills module at Atlanta DBT Center Norcross?

The group skills training follows a seven-week module cycle, and individual therapy is typically scheduled weekly. That gives families a clear timeframe to plan around. If someone needs more support, then the center's IOP or PHP may be recommended instead of standard outpatient visits. Ask the center how modules repeat and whether joining mid-cycle is possible.

Talk to someone at the helpline first

Families across Georgia can call the helpline at any time, and the staff who answer keep the conversation confidential.

If the Norcross practice is not a fit, the same call can point you to other outpatient or inpatient options in the Atlanta area.
