About Lakeland Centers
Lakeland Centres Opioid Recovery is a CARF-accredited outpatient methadone clinic at 6063 Peachtree Parkway, Suite 103-B in Peachtree Corners (Norcross), Georgia. The clinic is a federally certified Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) and is the Georgia location of Lakeland Centres, a two-clinic organization with a sister facility in Lakeland, Florida. The Peachtree Corners clinic serves adults in Gwinnett County and the wider north metro Atlanta area who need long-term methadone maintenance for opioid use disorder.
The clinical model is daily methadone dispensing combined with counseling. Adults entering the program receive a medical screening and physical examination, an initial clinical assessment, and an individualized treatment plan. Daily methadone dosing is the core medication intervention. Surrounding the medication are individual counseling, drug evaluations, urine drug screens, and confidential HIV and hepatitis testing. The clinic also provides health and nutrition guidance for pregnant women and referral to obstetric and prenatal care, recognizing that pregnant women with opioid use disorder are one of the most important populations for methadone maintenance.
Lakeland Centres explicitly describes methadone as a stabilizing rather than abuse-promoting medication. Methadone is taken orally once daily, has a 24-72 hour half-life that prevents the sharp peaks and crashes of illicit opioid use, decreases cravings, and blocks the effects of other opioids that have potential for abuse. The clinic frames recovery as a long-term partnership: clients are treated with respect, privacy is honored, and confidentiality is maintained throughout the program. Guest or courtesy dosing is available for stabilized clients who travel.
The clinic accepts self-pay and works with clients individually on payment arrangements. Lakeland Centres is intentionally focused: it does not try to be a broad behavioral health system. Instead, the program specializes in evidence-based methadone-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. For Peachtree Corners and Norcross-area adults who need an accredited, regulated, and ethically operated OTP, Lakeland Centres Opioid Recovery is a focused, locally accessible option.
