About us
American Addiction Centers (AAC) is a nationwide, leading provider of substance abuse treatment, offering a full continuum of care. We take a holistic approach to addiction treatment — by addressing each client as a whole person. We work to consider how factors such as an individual’s lifestyle, environment, health, and co-occurring mental health disorders may play a part in his or her addiction to drugs or alcohol. We use evidence-based treatment approaches to help individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders to overcome daily struggles and establish a healthy lifestyle. In addition to AAC’s comprehensive treatment approach that is offered in 8 states throughout the U.S., we also own and operate Addiction Labs, a laboratory tailored to meet the unique testing and monitoring challenges often faced in addiction treatment. Furthermore, we have three corporate offices with our headquarters located in Brentwood, Tennessee. American Addiction Centers is constantly building our brand and expanding our treatment services to meet the needs of those struggling with substance use and mental health disorders. In order to accomplish this, we need top talented professionals in all departments to help us not only achieve our business goals, but to also continue rescuing those battling addiction.
