Insight Program – Tyrone

The Insight program in Peachtree city is absolutely amazing. What they have done for my family and for the other kids and Parents in the community has undoubtably left a positive impact and continues to.

The Insight Program has given me a life I never thought possible. I walked through the doors hopeless. I wanted nothing more than my next drink. I had little to no relationship with peers or my family. My life had no… purpose. I was convinced that nothing would be able to help me and my behavior was just who I was. I completed treatment and things started to get better. One day at a time, almost six and a half years later, my life is worth living. I own a business, am engaged, have a fantastic relationship with peers and family, am active in my recovery, and am truly happy. I cannot thank the staff and this program enough for the tools I have gained from here. I will forever recommend The Insight Program to any young people and parents in a similar situation as I was. My family also exponentially benefited from this program. I am forever grateful for this program. -Thomas Sober since 9/14/2019

The Insight Program has changed our sons life and family's life for the better. We now have the tools and approach to handle Difficult situations and he has the support of trusted adults and peers he trusts to stay… sober. We are so grateful for the Insight Program

I wish more people were aware of this program here in Fayette County. It’s an incredible resource for our young people and their families.

This program saved our son’s life! He made some great life long friends there that he still hangs out with and has clean sober fun with! He learned so many coping and communication skills… and we learned so much from… the parent group. I am urging you if you have a teen that is starting to dabble with drugs or who already has a habit to call this place!

Our family cannot say enough good things about The Insight Program in Tyrone, GA. Before discovering this incredible resource, we felt completely lost. Despite numerous attempts to control our child's behavior and "fix"… the problem, nothing seemed to work. We sought help from various professionals, including medications and psychological counseling, but these approaches did not bring the results we desperately hoped for. What made the difference was the counselors and peers in The Insight Program. The connection our child found with others in the group, who truly understood the challenges he faced, was life-changing. The supportive, nonjudgmental environment created by the counselors and the encouragement from his peers gave him a sense of belonging and hope that he hadn't found elsewhere. For us as parents, the program for families was equally transformative. It gave us the tools and guidance to step back from trying to control or "fix" our child and instead support him on his journey to recovery. Learning how to approach his sobriety in a healthier way not only helped him but brought our family closer together. The enthusiastic sobriety approach, combined with the structured Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and 12-step work, has been pivotal in our child’s progress. These elements have helped him embrace sobriety and grow into a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled individual. We are deeply grateful for the compassionate and effective care provided by The Insight Program. It has been a beacon of hope for our family, and we highly recommend it to any parent navigating the challenges of addiction recovery with their teen.

This place helped my son when I didn't think it was possible. Such a compassionate program. Thank you Insight! This helped our entire family.

One of the best programs I’ve ever been too, not only did this program provide me a safe place to get sober it provided so much love and resources to use in my daily life. Would 100% refer friends and family’s to the… insight program!

Before I share my experience with this program, I want to share a little bit about what my life looked like before I found this program. I had always felt alone, afraid, and honestly like I never fit in anywhere. From a… very young age I looked at the world in such a negative way. I had no hope that things were going to be okay and could never see the beauty in people and the places I went. I was always scared that the worst was always going to happen. I grew up seeing psychiatrists, therapists, and doctors. I tried too many medications to count. All to help me with these feelings. My mom could tell I was very sad and she didn't really know where to turn. Nothing ever worked for me. We found something that "worked", but that meant that I wasn't having side affects to the medications and I seemed a little happier. How can you tell something like that would work for an 8 year old? In my experience now, you can't. Moving on to later years, being a teenager, I would put myself around people who also felt that same way. I had something to connect with there. I tried my first drink at 12 years old. No one knew. Another year passed and I obtained more knowledge over drinking and the effects it gave me. I started drinking alone once a week for months and I remember the way I felt. It was very different than how I had felt my entire life. I felt good. I was in control, I was smart, and it was way easier for me to talk to other people my age. Moving forward another year, I started using more alcohol and now drugs. Years past from that moment I was so far out of touch with reality that it's honestly hard for me to even remember what was going on. I have many periods of those 4 years that are just missing and gone. By the end, using wasn't this fun rush. It was solely for the purpose of, "If I don't have this, I won't be okay and I can't live with out this." My entire life was dedicated to getting high and wasted. I would use drugs and I couldn't get as high as I was that first time. I wanted to reach that place again but it just wouldn't happen for me. I started feeling those same feelings I felt at the age of 6, while high. That scared me. Because I didn't want to feel. By the age of 17 my mother helped me do something I couldn't have done for myself. It resulted in being in and out of courtrooms, jail time, and eventually finding this program. I didn't necessarily want to be sober at the time but I also remember meeting people, unlike any one I've ever met in my entire life. They were genuinely happy. And I could see that. It wasn't another boring doctors appointment with someone who didn't actually understand. It wasn't someone I could manipulate. They truly understood how my brain worked and how I felt. And from the moment I walked through the doors of that office, something was different. I couldn't quite see it then but I certainly do now. I went through Out Patient and achieved time sober. I didn't just stay sober, I made friendships with people my age who were also struggling and those friendships were like none I had ever had before. There was always something for me to do. It was always fun. I was smiling, laughing, and connecting with very real people. At the end of Out Patient, I remember realizing how much I loved helping others who were newer. I remember being able to see in their life that I had just been through that and I understood how it felt and honestly how hard it really was. I was given countless tools and the 12 steps to deal with my disease. I was able to form my own ideas and opinions. I was able to own the decisions I made. I was able to grow into a beautiful human being, with a smile on her face, and a lot of love for recovery and the people on this journey with me. I love showing up for people in their hardest times but also even their good ones. I never could have gotten to place I'm at today with out the support of my counselors and the support group itself. Today, I have been sober for 3 and a half years. And life is undeniably beautiful.

Insight has been a fantastic sobriety and recovery program for our daughter. It has helped provide her with the tools to be successful in her recovery and in her life and she has grown so much. We are so appreciative of… the awesome staff at Insight.

My daughter was struggling with substance abuse for several years. Insight provided the support for her to get sober and for our family to heal. She has been sober for two years. I will always be grateful for the… wonderful counselors who have guided us through the process of getting the help we needed and supporting us through a very difficult time in our lives. They have given us the skills to cope with addiction and to use the steps to continue on our journey with sobriety. Thank you, Insight!

When my son joined the Insight Program he was struggling with substance abuse which was causing great distress and dysfunction in our home. Not only has he gotten help with his substance abuse problem, but also has… learned communication and coping skills that will last a lifetime. Possibly the most unexpected result we’ve experienced through Insight is the restoration of peace and healing that has taken place in our entire family unit. We would not be where we are today if it weren’t for Insight. I truly believe that so much of the success of this program is due to the fact that it is specifically designed for teens/ young adults. The counselors are phenomenal and the peer support group is absolutely amazing which has been vital to my son’s recovery.

The Insight Program helped our family through one of the worst times of our lives. The program saved our son's life and brought our family back together.
