Services
Peer Support Services is a community-based, recovery-oriented service for adults with identified mental health and/or substance abuse issues. Peer Support Services can provide a sense of hope, trust, and understanding to peers. Peer support services are scheduled and structured. Peer Support Specialist specialize in helping peers during a crisis. PSS differs from other services in that individuals in need are paired with peers who have lived experience and are state certified individuals who are stable in recovery from their own mental health or substance abuse issues. PSS listen, provide guidance, and instill hope for recovery based on their own personal experiences. Peer Support allows those seeking recovery the opportunity to learn directly from those who have walked the similar paths.
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is a Medicaid service for eligible individuals who need to get to and from medical services when the need does not involve an immediate threat to the life or health, and the individual does not have means of transportation. Having no means of transportation may include not having a working car, not having a driver’s license, having a physical or mental disability, or being unable to travel or wait for a ride alone. ACS works with individuals to verify whether a participant is eligible for NEMT services prior to requesting or scheduling a trip.
