64 people. Three comedians. One guitarist. Zero filters. 🎤✨

Sober and Shameless Savannah Alumni event lived up to its name!

A crowd of 64 alumni, friends, and members of Savannah’s recovery community joined us for an unforgettable evening of sober, very adult fun. Sam Siamwala and Bret Rorabaugh got the laughs rolling, headliner J. Steinbrunner unleashed an animated, prop-filled set.

It was loud, unpredictable, hilarious, and, most importantly, connected. Thank you to every performer and community member who made the night one to remember.

Last week, the Samba Recovery Business Development Team had the privilege of attending the 2026 Lowcountry Mental Health Conference in Charleston, South Carolina. Hosted annually by Mental Health HEROES, this premier event brings together more than 1,500 behavioral healthcare professionals from across the country to explore the latest trends, research, and innovative approaches to mental health treatment.
We were grateful for the opportunity to connect with colleagues, learn from industry leaders, and bring new insights back to the communities we serve.

There's nothing better than a night at a Braves game with the best team in the business!

We had an incredible time at our Samba Recovery staff outing on Monday night. I'm so grateful to be part of a team that genuinely enjoys spending time together outside of work. In an industry where we pour so much compassion, energy, and heart into helping others every single day, it's important to take time to reconnect, laugh, and refill our own cups.

A special thank you to our leadership team for recognizing the importance of investing in their people and making events like this a priority. Your support and commitment to building a culture that values both excellence and connection does not go unnoticed, and we're incredibly grateful.

Moments like these remind me just how special this team is. Grateful for every one of you. ⚾️💙

What a few weeks at Samba Recovery!

It’s been a busy and rewarding few weeks filled with connection, collaboration, and a little excitement along the way.

We were honored to welcome Jimi Younis, BS, CADC-II and the RestAura Behavioral Health team for a tour of our facility and some great conversation around serving those in need of recovery and behavioral health support.

We also had the pleasure of hosting Nikki L Hogan with Amen Clinics Atlanta, as well as Tricia Meeker from Thoroughbred Wellness and Recovery/MARR Addiction Treatment Centers, continuing to strengthen partnerships that help individuals access quality care throughout Georgia.

A special thank you to Sarah Lasker of MARR Addiction Treatment Centers and Diana Grant-Rawls DNP, FNP of Southern Regional Medical Center for visiting us as well—unfortunately we forgot to grab photos, but we greatly appreciate your time and support!

Outside the office, we enjoyed a day at the Atlanta Braves game with some incredible partners and friends, including Kevin Pugh of Georgia Recovery Campus and David White of Banyan Treatment Centers. Relationships like these remind us that recovery happens through community and collaboration.

And to top it all off, we had the opportunity to represent Samba Recovery on FOX 5 Atlanta Live, sharing the importance of accessible treatment, recovery resources, and hope for those struggling with substance use disorders.

Every tour, every partnership, and every conversation helps us move closer to our mission of providing compassionate, life-changing care.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support recovery in our communities.
💙 Get Well. Stay Well.

📺 FOX 5 Atlanta recently visited Samba Recovery Atlanta in Jonesboro to highlight our newly opened inpatient detox and residential treatment facility.

This feature is especially meaningful to our team because it shines a light on the growing need for safe, accessible addiction treatment in Clayton County and throughout metro Atlanta.

During the segment, Andy Williams discussed the importance of access to residential treatment, including medically supervised detox, 24/7 clinical support, and a safe, supportive environment where individuals can begin building a strong foundation for lasting recovery.

We’re thankful to FOX 5 and Maria Guzman for helping raise awareness about both our new facility and the ongoing need for treatment services in our community.

Samba Recovery Atlanta is officially open and actively accepting patients!

If you or a loved one needs support, visit SambaRecovery.com or call (888) 505-8384.

Samba Recovery Atlanta is officially expanding access to medically supervised detox and residential addiction treatment in Jonesboro, Georgia, with first admissions beginning May 18!!!

This new facility brings a much-needed residential level of care to Clayton County and the greater South Atlanta area, giving individuals and families a place to find support closer to home.

Local leaders and community members joined us for a ribbon-cutting and open house to celebrate the completion of the facility, and we are grateful for the support and partnerships that helped make this possible.

This is more than a new location. It is an investment in access, healing, and hope for a community that needs compassionate, evidence-based addiction treatment.

Grateful to have represented Samba Recovery at last week’s Alabama EAPA Conference in beautiful Orange Beach!

Thank you to the Alabama EAP Association for hosting such a meaningful event filled with connection, collaboration, and learning alongside so many dedicated professionals in the behavioral health and EAP community.

From engaging sessions and networking opportunities to the fun moments like B-I-N-G-O night and themed days, it was a great reminder of how important community is in the work we do.

We’re thankful for the opportunity to continue building relationships and strengthening partnerships that support recovery, mental health, and employee wellness across the Southeast. Special thank you to Boyd Scoggins, Judi Braswell and Brian Rogers!
