- 30 days



The center provides drug- and alcohol-free apartments in SE Atlanta for men leaving more structured care. It is a step-down option, meaning men move here after residential or inpatient treatment rather than starting here directly. The program opened in 2009, and its typical length is 30 days, according to the center's listed information.
Residents agree to random drug testing and must work, study, or volunteer while living on site. Community meetings, life skills groups, and one-on-one counseling fill the week, and the setting is built around the Twelve Step tradition. If you are calling for a brother or son, then knowing the daily expectations helps you judge whether the structure fits him. The address is listed as 617 Maner Terrace in SE Atlanta.
Safety net recovery se Atlanta programs
Rather than a detox or medical stabilization unit, this is a transitional program. Counseling choices include one-on-one sessions, life skills, relapse prevention, meditation and mindfulness, and Twelve Step facilitation. The program is gender-specific and built around Twelve Step meetings, and on-site support meetings form part of aftercare. When withdrawal care comes first, a detox or residential program is typically the starting point ahead of a step-down like this one.
Aftercare includes drug screening, help with returning to work, and a written relapse prevention plan. Because the program treats alcohol and other substances, including benzodiazepines, the staff should be told about any prescription medicines at intake. When a man arrives from a higher level of care, then the first weeks focus on routine, accountability, and steady meeting attendance.

Good to know
Is Safety Net Recovery SE Atlanta a detox or a rehab program?
It is a step-down program, not a detox. The center describes itself as a place for men to live drug- and alcohol-free while they settle into sobriety after more structured care, with a typical length of 30 days. If your family member needs withdrawal care first, a detox or residential program is the usual starting point. Call us to compare options.
Does Georgia Medicaid pay for a program like this?
Because coverage hinges on the plan and level of care, the center must verify it. Georgia lists 264 facilities on SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov, and payment arrangements differ from one to the next. Call the helpline and we can assist you ask suitable coverage questions before you schedule anything. No one should assume coverage until it is confirmed.
How long do people usually stay at Safety Net Recovery?
A listed typical program length runs 30 days, and during that period residents are expected to be working, attending school, or doing service work. The center's own description points to a longer commitment for residents, so confirm the current expectation directly with the center rather than assuming a fixed stay. Our helpline can help you ask.
Can women enroll at this SE Atlanta location?
No. This program treats men only, in a gender-specific setting. If you are looking for a program for a woman, our helpline can point you toward other Georgia options; SAMHSA-listed facilities across the state cover a range of populations and levels of care. Just call and tell us what you need.
What happens if a resident tests positive on a random drug screen?
Each resident agrees to random drug testing, yet the center's published description does not say what follows a positive result. Before admission, ask directly about the policy. Our helpline can help you prepare that question and see how other Georgia programs handle the same situation. Call anytime.
Speak with someone before you decide
When the call is about a son, brother, or friend, a short conversation can make the next call easier. Our helpline is staffed around the clock and costs nothing, and whatever you share remains private. The people who answer are trained to connect callers with licensed treatment providers; they do not diagnose anyone or promise a bed. They can, however, help you check availability and coverage at Safety Net Recovery and compare it with other Georgia programs.
