Pine Woods provides two levels of outpatient addiction treatment at its Griffin, Georgia location: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). For men weighing their recovery options, these tracks offer clinical structure without requiring a residential stay, making it possible to maintain work, family, and community ties while engaging in meaningful substance abuse treatment.

IOP is particularly well-suited for individuals managing more intensive recovery needs — those stepping down from a higher level of care or those whose circumstances call for more frequent clinical contact than weekly outpatient sessions provide. Both programs operate Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, within a CARF-accredited facility.

A defining feature of Pine Woods within the McIntosh Trail network is its capacity to treat co-occurring disorders — combining addiction treatment with care for mental illness and developmental disabilities. For many people in recovery, untreated mental health conditions are a significant barrier to lasting sobriety. Addressing both concurrently, rather than sequentially, is central to what this program offers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors the clinical approach, equipping clients with structured techniques to identify and change the thinking patterns that fuel addictive behavior. This integration of mental health and substance abuse treatment reflects the reality of how many people actually experience addiction — rarely in isolation from other challenges.

Pine Woods sits within McIntosh Trail Community Services Board's regional network, formally serving Spalding, Butts, Fayette, Henry, Lamar, Pike, and Upson counties. For residents across this stretch of Middle Georgia, that geographic reach means access to an accredited outpatient recovery program without the distance barrier that often pushes people toward programs outside their home region.

Staying connected to one's local community during outpatient treatment is itself a recovery asset — it preserves employment, family involvement, and the everyday accountability structures that support long-term sobriety. Pine Woods is designed around that reality.

Pine Woods accepts Medicaid, Medicare, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and state insurance — a range of payment options that reflects the community services mission of the McIntosh Trail board. Financial concerns are among the most common reasons people delay or avoid addiction treatment, and these options are designed to reduce that barrier for men across the service area.

The facility serves men, including those who are court-ordered into treatment. Structured outpatient and IOP programming supports the consistency and documentation that court-ordered recovery often requires, while the clinical framework ensures treatment remains genuinely therapeutic rather than simply administrative.
