About HealthQwest Macon

HealthQwest Macon provides outpatient treatment for adults facing substance use challenges, with a strong focus on opioid addiction. Located near I-75 and Amerson River Park, the clinic is easy to access for clients in Macon, Byron, and nearby areas. Services include general outpatient care (GOP) and medication-assisted treatment using Methadone, Subutex, and Vivitrol. Patients attend counseling sessions while continuing with work, school, or family responsibilities.
Treatment begins with a full clinical evaluation to understand each person’s needs and goals. From there, the care team builds a plan that includes individual therapy, group counseling, and family involvement. Life skills classes teach practical tools like decision-making and stress management. Suboxone® patients may begin with a telehealth intake, and all clients can access virtual counseling sessions for added flexibility.
