You Can Place Your Addiction in Remission
When I was deeply addicted to drugs and alcohol, the endless cycle of reckless behavior, brief glimpses of hope, and despair when it all started again were all I could see.
Whatever addiction you or a loved one are fighting, I know what you’re suffering through, and I can help.
After successful recovery, I've helped countless addicts and their families move toward happier lives. Now, I use my gentle, invitational style Addiction Counseling Program and Interventions to ease addicts into recovery.
You didn’t land on this page by accident. There’s a new day waiting for you and your family, and I’m here to help you find it.

Dr. Joseph Kirkpatrick
Metro Atlanta Addiction Specialist
and Professional Interventionist
“My personal recovery journey began several decades ago when my family loved me enough to intervene on my addiction. To this day I see their actions as the kindest thing they could've done for me. Their efforts not only saved my life, but awakened a deep desire to help others end the addiction cycle for themselves and their families.”
