The Genesis Center has taken extra precautions for the safety of our patients during the Georgia State of Emergency.

To limit potential exposure, our clinic has obtained approval through the State Opioid Treatment Authority of Georgia to operate on a staggered schedule. We are open and continuing to accept new intakes and transfers every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday by appointment. Masks will be provided to each patient entering the clinic. Patients will receive take home medication for the days the clinic is closed to assure that there is not any disruption in treatment or medication.
