Treatment Programs
Looking for help with addiction in Roswell, GA?
Roswell has 4 treatment centers in our directory, with roughly 25 more if you widen the search into the surrounding area. North Fulton’s treatment centers are concentrated along the GA 400 corridor, and Roswell sits in the middle of that, close to Alpharetta to the north and Sandy Springs to the south.
Atlanta is another 20 miles down the same corridor for anyone who wants the metro’s largest selection. A search of the Roswell area will show centers in Alpharetta or Sandy Springs rather than Roswell alone. That is how this part of Fulton County works.
Roswell Road and GA 400 tie the three cities together closely enough that a program a few miles up or down the corridor is a routine option, not a compromise, for someone starting treatment from Roswell.
To begin treatment in Georgia, you don’t need to go through a county office first. Call the Georgia Crisis and Access Line at 1-800-715-4225, and a counselor will screen you and set up an assessment with a provider, day or night.
Georgia does not license sober living homes, but the Georgia Association of Recovery Residences certifies homes on a voluntary basis. Check the sober home of your choice before you or a family member moves into one.
GA 400 and Holcomb Bridge Road are the roads that matter here, connecting Roswell to Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, and Atlanta. MARTA rail does not reach Roswell. North Springs, in Sandy Springs, is as far north as the trains run, so a car is effectively required for attending an outpatient program several times a week.
Hartsfield-Jackson is a 35 to 45 minute drive south, longer at peak commute hours, and residential programs that offer pickup will usually meet you there rather than expect you to arrange transit on your own.

Your first step is to call the Georgia Crisis and Access Line at 1-800-715-4225. There is no county pre-approval step in Georgia; the line screens your situation and connects you directly with a provider for an assessment.
You do not necessarily need to go to Atlanta for treatment. Roswell has a small in-city count, but Alpharetta and Sandy Springs both sit within about 10 minutes up or down GA 400 and carry more listings between them. Atlanta itself adds the metro’s widest selection if you want more options, about 20 miles south.
It is difficult to get to treatment in Roswell without a car. MARTA rail ends at North Springs in Sandy Springs, several miles south of Roswell, so most outpatient schedules here assume a car.
Georgia does not require a state license for sober living homes, but the Georgia Association of Recovery Residences, the state’s NARR affiliate, certifies homes voluntarily against national standards. Ask a specific home whether it holds that certification.
