Programs and Services for:

Volunteers of America Southeast demonstrates that “there are no limits to caring” through our programs for people with substance abuse issues. Treatment is provided for individuals with a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse. We do this through residential care, counseling and support groups, as well as through spiritual guidance. Our goal … to help individuals overcome their dependence on drugs and alcohol and to return to a normal way of life, able to hold a job and care for a family.

Our Substance Abuse services are located in Georgia, and include:

• Bennett Oaks Drug Treatment Program

Our mission is to provide quality, accessible, and effective substance abuse services by empowering the people we serve to improve the quality of their lives based on their individual strengths, needs, abilities, and preferences. We provide drug/alcohol screening, assessment, crisis intervention, and appropriate referral services. We have the option to admit individuals from our program into our Day Services Treatment Program, Outpatient Program, or Out-reach Services Component. The individuals we serve are given one-on-one counseling sessions, recovery education classes, group therapy, relapse prevention/aftercare-planning skills, and family counseling sessions.

• TANF Ready for Work Programs
The Pines Family Campus and Millennium Center

The Pines Family Campus and Millennium Center provide 12-month residential substance abuse treatment for women with minor children who recognize substance abuse as a barrier to obtaining and maintaining employment. The primary purpose of both programs is to assist all women in achieving total abstinence from all mood and mind altering substances, maintaining employment, and being successful with their children in order to avoid child displacement or foster care as a result of ongoing substance use. The Millennium Center and The Pines Family Campuses offer 20 and 28 duplex apartments respectively, have on-site daycare, and offer programs for both women and children. The program is designed to provide a full spectrum of professional drug treatment counseling services in 4 phases, and to help women grow stronger through each phase of treatment. All women are encouraged to address underlying issues to use and to get involved in community support groups. Those that graduate from these programs leave with a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of self-sufficiency.
