If you live or work in Dunwoody, our outpatient center is one of the closest IOP options: Dunwoody and Sandy Springs share the Perimeter Center business district, and the two cities meet a short drive from our door. Atlanta Outpatient Rehab by The Recovery Village is about 3.5 miles from Dunwoody at 325 Hammond Drive in Sandy Springs. We provide an intensive outpatient program (IOP), outpatient dual diagnosis treatment, individual therapy and group therapy for adults who can safely live at home during treatment. For directions, parking and building details, see our Sandy Springs location page.
Getting to Our Center From Dunwoody
From central Dunwoody, most routes head southwest on Mount Vernon Road and Mount Vernon Highway, then south on Barfield Road to Hammond Drive, about 3.6 miles in total. Plan on roughly 10 to 15 minutes, longer during Perimeter rush hour.
- From Dunwoody Village: Mount Vernon Road west, continue onto Mount Vernon Highway, left on Barfield Road, then right on Hammond Drive toward Roswell Road.
- From the Perimeter Mall / Ashford-Dunwoody area: take Hammond Drive west across GA-400, staying on Hammond Drive toward Roswell Road.
- From I-285: use Exit 25 (Roswell Road), go north about half a mile, then right on Hammond Drive.
By MARTA: Dunwoody station on the Red Line sits on Hammond Drive by Perimeter Mall, but it’s still roughly 2 miles from our building, so most patients take a short rideshare from the station.

Ready to take the next step toward recovery?
Our Recovery Advocates are available around the clock to answer your questions, verify your insurance, and help you find the right level of care — at no cost to you.
- Intensive outpatient program (IOP): at least nine hours of therapy per week, typically for about 12 weeks, while you live at home. See our intensive outpatient program (IOP) page.
- Outpatient dual diagnosis care: treatment for substance use together with conditions such as depression, anxiety or PTSD. See outpatient dual diagnosis treatment.
- Individual and group therapy: individual therapy and skills-based group therapy with experienced therapists and counselors, using trauma-informed care.
Outpatient care is not the right starting point for everyone. We do not offer detox, residential or overnight care at this location. If you need withdrawal management or 24-hour support first, our team can coordinate medical detox at The Recovery Village Atlanta (Roswell, GA) or residential rehab at The Recovery Village South Atlanta (Stockbridge, GA), and you can step down to IOP here afterward.

Dunwoody Outpatient Rehab FAQs
Is there an outpatient rehab in Dunwoody itself?
Our center is just across the city line in Sandy Springs, about 3.5 miles from central Dunwoody. Many Dunwoody residents choose it because the drive is short and appointments can fit around a workday in Perimeter Center.
Can I attend IOP and keep working at Perimeter Center?
Often, yes. IOP is designed so you live at home, and sessions can often be scheduled around work. Federal and state protections may also apply if you need time off.
Do you provide transportation?
No. Transportation to outpatient appointments isn’t provided, so we’ll help you plan your schedule around a reliable ride before you start.
