Aiken Center

Aiken Center provides flexible outpatient addiction treatment designed to fit into participants' existing schedules while delivering consistent recovery support. The facility offers both standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) services, with evening sessions available Tuesday through Thursday until 8:00 PM to accommodate working professionals and students.

These programs utilize cognitive behavioral therapy techniques combined with medication-assisted treatment when clinically indicated. The center's approach allows individuals to maintain their daily responsibilities while receiving structured substance abuse treatment, making recovery accessible for diverse life circumstances within the Aiken community.

The recovery center specializes in treating individuals with co-occurring disorders, addressing both substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously. This dual diagnosis approach recognizes that lasting recovery often requires comprehensive treatment of underlying psychiatric conditions alongside addiction.

Clinical Services Manager Sherry Lewis oversees programming specifically designed for participants managing multiple conditions, ensuring that treatment plans address the complex interplay between substance abuse and mental health challenges. This specialized focus helps individuals develop coping strategies for long-term recovery success.

Aiken Center prioritizes accessibility through multiple payment options including Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance programs. The facility also provides services for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, ensuring addiction treatment reaches all community members regardless of communication needs.

Additional community-focused services include Narcan distribution, court-related ADSAP programs, and prevention services managed by Tonya Avery and Jontavius Gilbert. These offerings extend the center's impact beyond individual treatment, strengthening the broader recovery community throughout Aiken County.

The center's recovery support services help participants transition from active treatment to independent sobriety maintenance. These aftercare components provide ongoing connection to the recovery community while helping individuals navigate challenges that arise during extended recovery periods.

Telehealth options ensure continuity of care even when in-person attendance becomes difficult, while the facility's prevention services create educational opportunities that support both individual recovery goals and community-wide addiction awareness initiatives.
