CETPA - What We Do

What We Do...

CETPA is a private, nonprofit counseling services specializing in mental
health, addictions and emotional problems. CETPA has been designed,
from the beginning, to properly assess clients in their own language and
determining what services offered by CETPA would be most beneficial or,
if the client is not appropriate for our services, to make referrals to the
proper agencies.

Our services begin with the initial call or drop-in visit, followed by the
assessment, admission, treatment planning, treatment, referral,
discharge and continuing care. The levels of care recommended to a client
are determined by a multidisciplinary team that includes a psychiatrist, a
nurse, licensed counselors, master level clinicians and certified addiction
counselors.
CETPA provides, or encourages its staff to attend, conferences and other
educational activities to further their knowledge and understanding of
addiction, mental health and family violence, including new proven
methods and best practices for treatment and prevention.

We utilize a variety of treatment and therapeutic services to enable
clients to function alcohol and drug free and/or to learn social and
psychological skills to improve their overall functioning in life. Our services
include individual counseling, group counseling, family counseling,
supportive counseling, substance abuse education and prevention, family
violence groups, multiple DUI offender groups, psycho-educational
groups, evaluations, assessments and referrals.

Our program addresses behavioral health issues such as depression,
anxiety, social phobia, substance abuse and addiction for adults and
adolescents.

CETPA provides services in Spanish for Spanish speaking consumers or
bilingual consumers who, to avoid misunderstanding, prefer to
communicate in Spanish. We dedicate a large portion of our resources to
meet the linguistic need for behavioral health services in Georgia since we
are the only licensed and accredited Latino behavioral health facility in the
state. Services are also available in English.

CETPA and its employees are dedicated to improving patient outcomes
by ensuring we adhere to human, civil, constitutional, statutory and
emotional rights. All employees who have direct contact with clients are
bilingual. CETPA includes community leaders, community members and
families as part of the decision making process to determine need.

Thank you for your interest in CETPA and for trusting us with the
emotional well-being of your friend, client or family member. We invite
you to come visit us to learn more about our services and to personally
meet our wonderful staff.
