Acadiana Area Human Services District

Our Mission

The mission of the Acadiana Area Human Services District (AAHSD) is to increase public awareness of and to provide access for individuals with behavioral health and developmental disabilities to integrated community based services while promoting wellness, recovery and independence through education and the choice of a broad range of programmatic and community resources. To this end, a comprehensive system of care is offered which provides research-based prevention, early intervention, treatment and recovery support services to citizens of Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin and Vermilion parishes, directly and through community collaborations.

No person will be denied treatment based on their ability to pay. Once you provide proof of your income, if you do not qualify for care free-of-charge, you may be required to pay for services according to our sliding-fee schedule.
