About Riverfront Recovery
Riverfront Recovery treats substance use disorders—and the common co-occurring mental health issues that feed them—through medically supervised detox and thoughtfully paced residential treatment. Tucked into 25 waterfront acres, their facility keeps the census intentionally small so every day feels personal. By putting client needs first, they build a team focused on healing—so every client benefits from dependable, expert care that transforms lives.
Build Lasting Recovery Momentum
Riverfront Recovery takes radical ownership of client outcomes: that means digging past surface symptoms to the “why” underneath. They teach practical skills and stand with clients long after discharge so they have a soft landing. Their therapies are practical and science-backed—they help clients change their day-to-day choices, heal their trauma, rebuild their family bonds, and create relapse prevention plans. That mix leaves clients not only feeling better, but able to recognize triggers and keep the momentum going.
Enjoy Riverside Cabin Comfort
Cabins set along the Hiawassee River make every sunrise feel like a fresh start, with soft river breezes floating through the cabins. Inside, a fireplace and streaming-ready TV create a cozy spot for reflection or a movie night with new friends. A fully stocked kitchen invites coffee chats on the porch, while their gym—complete with yoga mats, rowers, and strength equipment—empowers clients to rebuild both body and spirit. Crackling fire pits, a pool table, foosball, and horseshoes turn downtime into shared moments of joy and camaraderie.
Access Continued Warmth and Support
Riverfront Recovery wraps its care around clients long after graduation, warmly guiding each graduate to trusted outpatient providers for long-term continued support. This handoff feels like an invitation into a caring community, turning what could be a lonely next step into a shared journey. Clients leave knowing they’re held by a network that celebrates every milestone.
