Midway Recovery Systems:
Empowering Transformation Since 1982
Walter Jones Sr., alongside co-founders William H. Shapard and Robert P. Shapard, launched Midway Recovery Systems in 1982 within the dynamic Griffin/Spalding community. Recognizing an urgent need for a secure, nurturing environment, these innovators established a facility offering compassionate, judgment-free support for overcoming substance use disorder.
Originally dedicated to treating alcohol addiction, the founders quickly broadened their focus to address both drug and alcohol challenges as they witnessed the growing impact of substance use firsthand. Their commitment to community well-being transformed a simple mission into a lasting resource of hope and healing.
Rooted In Purpose
From the start, Midway Recovery Systems has embraced a powerful belief: effective rehabilitation thrives in a supportive, purpose-driven environment. We don’t just guide recovery—we empower individuals with the resilience and confidence needed to reclaim their lives.
A Customized Continuum for Enduring Change
In 2024, we reimagined our program to better serve those pursuing long-term transformation. Now featuring a tailored 6- to 12-month continuum of care, our approach equips participants with essential tools, expert guidance, and ongoing support needed to navigate the challenges of substance use disorder while forging a renewed future.
