Open Access
We are SO excited about our new Open
Access Outpatient Clinic. On Monday
through Friday from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm
our Adult Outpatient clinic on our Augusta Campus, any
individual in need of treatment can come to the clinic for
their first session with NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED. This
first session will assess the individual’s needs, strengths,
and identify goals for treatment. Then the individual will
be scheduled for subsequent appointments with the counselor, nurse, and physician. We will make every attempt to
schedule the appointment at a time that is most convenient for the individual.
We continue to accept a variety of commercial insurance
plans, Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. You will need
to bring your picture ID and insurance card (if you are covered) with you for this visit and each subsequent visit.
Open Access will also be available in our Thomson Clinic
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 am until 2:00
pm.
We hope this service will help individuals take that initial
step when they are ready for it—without delays.
One more step Serenity is taking to achieve it’s goal to
provide services to anyone in need of behavioral health
services.
