WestCare Georgia's Boggs facility provides residential drug education and treatment services for adolescent males (ages 13-17) who have a history of substance abuse or dependence. Operating from the belief that addiction is rooted in illness, drug and alcohol abuse is treated with a broad-based approach that addresses the physical, behavioral and emotional aspects of the condition, and embraces the concept that behavioral changes can occur through positive peer support and peer pressure. Treatment includes individual and group therapy, and extensive education in life skills, coping mechanisms and relapse prevention.

Family Program
Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it’s important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.12-Step Meetings
We introduce 12-step meetings in an effort to improve personal awareness of the required changes and challenge of recovery from addiction.

Meet the Staff
Jeffery CaudillSenior Vice PresidentJeff Caudill is a retired Commander with the Kentucky State Police. In addition to routine police services, Jeff was in charge of the oversight for homicide, sex abuse (to include child sexual abuse investigations), narcotics investigations, and public corruption. Jeff holds a Juris Doctor degree from the Appalachian School of Law, and he is a licensed attorney in the state of Kentucky. Over the last several years, he had the opportunity to see firsthand the benefits that WestCare brought to his home state. Prior to WestCare's entrance in Kentucky, the community was tired of witnessing individuals and even children dying on a regular basis from drug overdoses. WestCare and its dedicated staff made a profound difference to the state, and they have helped so many people gain a second chance at life. Jeff is proud to be a part of such an organization, and he looks forward to working every day to continue to help those in need.
