"A few years ago I struggled to get out of bed, had no self-esteem, was lashing out at people, and used alcohol as my coping mechanism. Now I am more optimistic and know how to handle both my good days, and bad days. I've learned how to incorporate new techniques to reduce my feelings of depression."

Eligibility & Costs 

Many participants receive services through Medicaid. Association House is also an in-network provider for Blue Cross / Blue Shield PPO and accepts self-pay. If we are out-of-network for your insurance company, we are happy to provide you with a statement so that you can ask them to reimburse you for some of your costs. For self-pay, a sliding scale fee is available for those who qualify.

98% of counseling participants avoided psychiatric hospitalization and 89% increased or sustained functioning after six months of treatment.
