Houston Services

AAMA's Prevention and Counseling is one of the largest substance use disorder treatment programs in Houston and has been providing high-quality, exceptional, and effective care for decades in both English and Spanish. AAMA believes that problems with alcohol or drugs are different for every single person experiencing it. Factors like co-occurring mental illnesses, trauma, stigma, and the severity of substance use mean that each individual requires a tailored treatment plan. To further this goal, AAMA professionals utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches when treating drug and alcohol disorders and any related issues arising from use.
 
We offer an extensive array of services that will help both adults and adolescents fulfill their potential and be able to lead gratifying and healthier lives. Please know that all of AAMA's services may be provided without regard to your ability to pay.
