We have put together a team of Addiction Medicine Psychiatrists, LCSWs, and addiction treatment counselors in order to provide comprehensive addiction treatment that offers Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) services as well as individual and group therapies. We are able to provide addiction services for drug classes. However, the medication assists those who may be addicted to opioids, such as heroin or prescription medications, an opportunity to have an alternative that will manage their cravings to use and abuse substances while they simultaneously work with our team in order to learn how to navigate life without abusing substances. For many the problem is stopping their use because of the cravings and withdrawal, and this program will help them with the physiological effects of tapering off drugs. Our MAT program provides treatment including primary care, social workers, case managers, therapists, and psychiatrists with addiction specialties.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
