Tailored Support: Affordable and Accessible

At AACS Counseling, we believe that quality care should be accessible to everyone. Our Intensive Outpatient Program is not just another treatment option; it’s a personalized journey toward recovery, carefully crafted to address your unique needs. Affordability is key to making care accessible, and we’ve structured our program to reflect that. While there are expenses associated with being in an IOP program, we strive to make it as manageable as possible. Worried about payment? Don’t be. We accept a range of insurance plans, including Amerigroup, BCBS, Peach State, Cigna, and Aetna. For those without insurance, we offer a sliding scale and flexible payment options. Split payments and payment plans are available to ease any financial concerns because getting the care you need shouldn’t add to your stress.
