MedMark Services, Inc., announced that it has acquired Georgia Therapy Associates (GTA) in Columbus, Georgia. Georgia Therapy Associates was established in 2002 as a private clinic to provide medication assisted treatment in conjunction with individual counseling. Their mission over the last twelve years has been to support patients as they work toward regaining control of their lives, free from dependence on prescription pain medication or other opioids. Stephen Willis, Program Director, who has managed this program since 2005, will continue to lead the treatment team at the MedMark Columbus location.

David K. White, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of MedMark Services, Inc., commented, “The acquisition of Georgia Therapy Associates expands our Georgia treatment presence to now include locations in Columbus, Savannah and Blairsville. Our priority is for MedMark Treatment Center of Columbus to continue to be the program of choice for those in the Columbus area. We firmly believe MedMark offers patients throughout Georgia the best treatment option for overcoming their dependence on opiates.”

Frank Baumann, Senior Vice President of Operations, commented, “With the growing prevalence of prescription pain medication abuse and dependency, MedMark remains committed to providing the necessary resources to deliver the highest quality treatment at our new Columbus location.
