About Aeschbach and Associates Inc
Aeschbach and Associates, doing business as Addiction & Psychotherapy Services (APS), is a long-established private outpatient clinic on South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas. Founded in 1982 and now run by the second generation of the Aeschbach family, the clinic is Joint Commission accredited and certified by SAMHSA as an Opioid Treatment Program. The practice was originally built around the work of Dr. Heinz Aeschbach, MD, and remains a family-owned operation rather than a corporate chain.
APS sits in a specific niche: a small, integrated MAT clinic that treats opiate-addiction patients alongside psychiatric and psychological care under one roof. The team includes a full-time onsite psychiatrist, registered nurses (some with master’s-level training), and a licensed professional counselor. That integration is unusual in the methadone-clinic space, where many programs limit themselves to medication dispensing and minimal counseling. APS treats co-occurring disorders, trauma and PTSD, and explicitly serves pregnant women — populations that often need more than dosing alone.
Clinically, the program offers short and long-term medication-assisted treatment with methadone and buprenorphine, paired with cognitive behavioral therapy and psychotherapy. Patients can stabilize on agonist therapy for as long as clinically indicated, and the on-site psychiatrist allows for integrated treatment of depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions that often coexist with opioid use disorder.
The clinic is located at 2824 South Congress Avenue, just south of Oltorf and north of Ben White, across from St. Edward’s University and accessible by Bus Lines 1 and 486. APS accepts Medicare, selected private insurance, and self-pay, with a stated philosophy of working without profits — fees are primarily client-paid. The clinic phone is (512) 444-5092.
