Atlanta Behavioral Addiction Treatment Program

The term addiction is not exclusive to those abusing substances. It can encompass a wide range of behaviors and actions that, over time, can cause serious harm to the person experiencing them. At Atlanta Center for Mental Health, we understand the complex nature of behavioral addictions and the diverse forms they can take. From compulsive gambling and gaming to excessive internet use and shopping, these behaviors can significantly impact individuals’ lives, often leading to financial strain, relationship difficulties, and emotional distress. Our comprehensive behavioral addiction treatment approach recognizes the unique challenges associated with each type of compulsive behavior and provides personalized care to address them effectively.
