McCullough, Vargas & Associates, Inc. has been providing substance abuse and behavioral health care services since 1990. The agency was created out of need for quality substance abuse treatment, for reasonable rates, at convenient times and days. From only two therapists providing individual counseling, MVA has grown to an agency with over thirty-five staff providing a full continuum of care at locations in Adrian and Jonesville.
Services Offered
* Adolescent and family counseling * Individual and group therapy * Integrated substance abuse and mental health therapy * Women's group and case management services (pregnant women and women with dependent children are a priority for treatment)
Fees and Payment
We accept self-payment and offer a sliding scale fee based on income for those that qualify, Blue Cross/ Blue shield and most other insurances, & Medicaid.
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.
