At Riverfront Recovery, we understand that addiction is more than a physical or psychological struggle — it is also a spiritual battle that can leave people feeling disconnected, hopeless, and alone. True healing must address the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. That’s why our faith-based inpatient rehab in Georgia is designed to integrate spiritual principles with proven clinical care. Here, evidence-based therapies are combined with opportunities for prayer, reflection, and fellowship, creating a balanced approach that strengthens both recovery and faith.
Our peaceful campus on the Hiawassee River offers a sanctuary where patients can rediscover purpose, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and reconnect with the spiritual foundation that sustains long-term sobriety.
Faith can provide a powerful foundation for recovery. For many, spirituality offers hope, meaning, and strength during difficult times. By combining evidence-based therapies with spiritual guidance, our program helps patients rebuild their lives on a solid foundation of faith and wellness.
Patients at Riverfront Recovery receive the same high-quality medical detox, evidence-based therapy, and holistic care available in all of our programs. For those who wish to incorporate spirituality into their journey, we offer the added opportunity to connect recovery with personal faith and beliefs. Participation in faith-based programming is always optional — never required — allowing each individual to choose the approach that feels most authentic to them. This flexibility ensures that every patient receives a personalized path to healing, whether rooted in spiritual values, clinical practices, or a blend of both.

At Riverfront Recovery, we believe that recovery is most effective when patients feel connected not only to themselves but also to a larger faith community. That’s why our faith-based inpatient rehab in Georgia includes opportunities to engage with local pastors, spiritual mentors, and faith-driven community organizations. Patients can attend on-site or local worship services, participate in fellowship activities, and receive one-on-one pastoral counseling to explore how their personal beliefs can guide their healing. These relationships help strengthen spiritual identity, provide encouragement during difficult moments, and create a network of faith-based support that continues long after treatment ends. By blending clinical care with spiritual community, we ensure that each patient has the chance to experience both professional guidance and the comfort of faith-driven connection.
Located on the Hiawassee River, our setting provides a peaceful backdrop for reflection, prayer, and renewal of faith. The natural environment allows patients to slow down, connect with themselves, and embrace a new way of living that nurtures both recovery and spirituality.
Riverfront Recovery truly changed my life. When I first arrived, I was overwhelmed and unsure if I could ever break free from alcohol addiction. But from day one, I felt supported, understood, and genuinely cared for. The staff at Riverfront Recovery aren’t just professionals—they’re compassionate, dedicated people who treat every patient like an individual, not just a number. They took the time to listen, to guide, and to help me develop real coping skills that I still use every day.
