About

About Lanier Treatment Center

Lanier Treatment Center is an outpatient opioid treatment program in Gainesville, Georgia, established in 2005 and located in the heart of Hall County. The center’s focus is medical treatment of opiate addiction through a federally regulated Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), combining FDA-approved medications with counseling to support patients across the long arc of opioid recovery. The clinic is privately owned and accepts no government grants or loans, operating under state and federal licensure for medication-assisted treatment.

Treatment is built around medication-assisted treatment (MAT), with methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), and naltrexone (Vivitrol) all part of the medication toolkit. Counseling is paired with medication to address the behavioral and emotional sides of recovery, and the clinic also provides drug and alcohol assessments and screenings. Cognitive behavioral therapy is among the evidence-based methods used. Lanier emphasizes that there are no intake or transfer fees, which lowers the barrier for patients beginning care or moving from another OTP.

Clinical leadership is led by Medical Director Dr. Rustin McAlister, who has been with the program since its inception in 2005, alongside Clinical Director Mary Hewell, CAADC, COUDP, and Program Director Deborah Brock, CADCII, E-CADC, COUDP. The nursing and counseling team includes Melba Cain, LPN; Susan Hoffman, LPN; Marilyn Emmett, RN; Denise Lavoie, LPN; and counselor Laurel Chapman, CADCII, CCTPII, CCS. The team’s continuity — many staff have been with Lanier for a decade or more — is a defining feature of the clinic.

Lanier serves men, women, pregnant women, and court-ordered patients, with a dedicated pregnancy program that helps keep mom and baby healthy by reducing the risks associated with opiate addiction and withdrawal while supporting adherence to prenatal care. The clinic is CARF accredited and accepts Medicare and self-pay; prospective patients can begin the admissions process directly with the clinic team.
