About the Treatment Access Bank
The Treatment Access Bank helps people that have financial challenges get quality mental health care. We cover up to 15 therapy sessions with a licensed therapist and connect people with our Peer Recovery Call Center for support while in the program and beyond. While some people are able to get therapy through programs like Medicare and Medicaid, many people with private insurance may still have gaps that make therapy hard to afford- which is where we come in.
