Aiken Center

Aiken Center supports teens and adults facing challenges with alcohol, drugs, trauma, anxiety, and related mental health needs. Teens ages 12 -18 receive care through outpatient and intensive outpatient programs (IOP), with walk-in assessments available. The center stands out for its personal, non-judgmental approach that invites family involvement and supports long-term recovery. Specialized tracks, like the Women’s IOP, address unique needs such as trauma, parenting, and gender-specific experiences.
Treatment is led by licensed counselors, therapists, and peer support specialists using evidence-based therapies. Services include individual and group counseling, family therapy, and support from peers who have walked the recovery path. Teens and adults learn to manage stress, build self-esteem, and develop healthy routines. Medication-assisted recovery (MAR) is available for those struggling with opioids or alcohol, offering medication and therapy together for more effective, lasting recovery.
Clients live at home while attending treatment at Aiken Center, creating a balance between structure and daily life. The environment is warm and welcoming, helping teens and adults feel safe, not judged. Telehealth options make it easier to stay connected to care. Family members are encouraged to participate, offering ongoing support beyond the clinic. Community resources like free Narcan kits to prevent overdose deaths and the alcohol and drug safety action program (ADSAP) supports those with DUI charges.These services help reduce barriers to care by offering tools, education, and support that make recovery more accessible, practical, and connected to everyday life.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Aiken Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Aiken Center offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Aiken Center works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
