Road to Recovery

What Road to Recovery does

The Road to Recovery, Inc. is a privately held, founder-operated behavioral health practice founded in 1995 and headquartered in the Atlanta metropolitan area of Georgia. The company delivers a comprehensive portfolio of mental health and substance abuse services organized around three core lines: diagnostic evaluations (substance use disorder, DUI, domestic violence, mental health/bio-psychosocial, and immigration-related assessments), behavioral programs (ASAM Level 0.5 and Level 1 outpatient treatment, Risk Reduction/DUI School, Victim Impact Panel, DUI Court, Family Violence Intervention Program, Anger Management, Parenting Skills, Theft Awareness, and Values Clarification), and counseling (individual, couples, and group psychotherapy). Services are provided in English and Spanish by a clinical team of approximately 20 licensed practitioners, with the founder Rocio D. Woody (LCSW, NCAC-II, MAC, CCS) serving as Clinical Director, President, and CEO, and Thomas D. Woody as Executive Director.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight and centered on telehealth delivery rather than proprietary platforms: the company uses Zoom for Healthcare and Doxi.me for secure video sessions and partners with Georgia state agencies and court systems that drive referral volume. There is no proprietary software product, mobile app, or API; the company's competitive positioning rests on clinical expertise, multilingual delivery, and state certifications (FVIP under O.C.G.A. 19-13-10(6), Atlanta-DeKalb DUI School #5031, ASAM Level 0.5/1, DFCS Approved Provider) rather than technology differentiation.

The business model is a professional services practice that generates revenue from per-session counseling fees, program completion fees for court-mandated and ASAM treatment, and immigration psychological evaluations, with payment sourced from private insurance, public insurance carriers, self-pay consumers, and government agency referrals. Distribution is hybrid: in-person clinical visits at three clinic locations (Atlanta, Marietta, Oakwood), telehealth across Georgia, and inbound referral channels from DFCS, DBHDD, Department of Driver Services, Accountability Courts, the Judicial System (attorneys, Public Defender's Office), and the Georgia Commission on Family Violence. Marketing is conducted through the company website, blog, email, and organic social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). The company is bootstrapped, with no external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries, and self-describes as one of the largest and most diversified behavioral health private practices in the State of Georgia.
